What we have is a Christo-Fascist oligarchy. Trump has no interest in governance. He's a figurehead. The real power is with conservative organizations like Heritage and the billionaires.
If you want your country back, I'm afraid you're gonna have to fight for it. Most people don't realize that.

People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.

(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

“I am sure there will be a Trump m-coin dispenser installed on every table,” Krugman.
But the vandalism is a symbol of an even bigger destruction, warned the Nobel laureate. Trump’s demolition of the WH “isn’t a remodeling or building an addition, it’s a teardown."

Economist Paul Krugman said President Donald Trump’s removal of a whole White House wing is typical Trumpian style: an “act of vandalism" being paid for by large corporate donors — mostly tech and cry...

I was at friends who foster underage kittens for Faithful Friends Rescue. The tabby gang of 4 are 6 weeks old and wild tiger play kitties. It was great to watch them play and hear them thunder across the room. Oh, kittens.

He's been using the country and his office like his ATM since he took office. This is just one more outrage.

The Florida State Board of Immigration Enforcement removed the number of U.S. citizens arrested as part of law enforcement’s sweeping deportation efforts from its website, after a publication asked the state why citizens were being arrested in the first place.

What can we do to stop him? 1st don’t worry about 2026/28 elections, yet. Focus on the Nov 2025 elections where there will be 52k races nationwide & turn out is key. 2nd, vote for pro democracy candidates that will shape the 2026/28 elections! Key elections are in CA, ME, NJ, PA & VA! #Elections2025

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Too bad he didn't keep the East Wing, and use all that $$$ for things people really need. Food banks. Job training. School lunches. Scientific research. NOAA. FEMA. Public media support. Climate change tracking and abatement. Renewable energy. Infrastructure. Seeing rural areas get better internet.
