They are going to have to do some remodeling to add space in hell for this regime.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

I wonder if ICE is getting paid during the shutdown? If so, it would mean the ones getting paid are the republicans in Congress who shut things down and the gestapo agents in masks terrorizing people who aren’t white.

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

Trump supported and encouraged the genocide in Gaza.
He talked opening of razing the whole area so that he could build resorts.
Now that that job is complete, of course he and baby face Jared leverage a few billion dollars to play hero.
Be a real hero, Release the Epstein files.

The nightmare finally ends.

May the hostages have a full recovery and may we never forget those who didn’t make it out alive.

Credit to President Trump for a breakthrough ceasefire of this awful war.

The wearing of masks to hide identity while terrorizing people who aren’t white is today’s version of the white robes and face covering.

The republicans are keeping the government shutdown because they insist on defunding Medicaid and the ACA.
AND when they open up there will be enough votes to release the Epstein files.

Fund healthcare and release the Epstein files.

Pretty simple. Even for unChristian MAGA Mikey.

Portland, Oregon :

Frogs are attacking ICE. They are croaking all over the city, hopping from place to place. It’s a hell hole.

And the chickens are clucking and surrounding federal buildings.
It’s a coop.

I’m sending in the National Guard to clean up the city and make Portland weird again.

Let us, the people, be the one for rule of law and democracy.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3d

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

MSM is controlled by far right corporate owners. They are willingly complicit.

Independent news organizations are doing a great job but there is a large segment that is not tuned in to them.

We can help. The videos circulating of the war-less zones in Portland and Chicago are good examples.

It’s hard to know what purpose journalism serves anymore if it can’t consistently communicate to the public 1) whether something is actually happening/is a complete lie; & 2) whether something is obviously illegal or unconstitutional. And yet, here we are, in late 2025, &

I don’t know if this is in return for the jet, Qatari investment in baby face Jared kushner’s company or some other BS grift , but allowing a foreign military base on US soil seems a bad idea to me.

We are way past talking about spines.

GOP Congress and Senate members are all guilty of treason.

Just one question. I will be out Oct 18 peacefully exercising my constitutional rights to assemble and free speech.

But I wasn’t aware that Soros was paying me. Where and when do I get paid?

I don’t know Sen. Marshall but he sure sounds like a traitor to me.

Trump is waging violent war on the American citizens.
We, all of us, need to be on the streets.
We need to be peaceful because what they want is for us not to be peaceful so they can escalate even further.
And, if you are at a rally and see something, video it and get it to multiple news sites.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Turns out renaming DOD to DOW, bombing fishing boats in international waters,supporting genocide and sending the military to put down peaceful citizens supporting democracy is not a path to the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have an idea Donald:
Release the Epstein files.

The senate has passed the NDAA including anti-trans riders, anti-DEI clause and zero limitations on domestic deployment of the military.

26 Democrats helped pass this.

I may not be the brightest bulb in the pack so can someone explain this to me?
You know, the 26 Democrats part.
