Pam Bondi illustrates the lack of judicial independence and her profile is partisan rather than impartial. Trump chose her only for her loyalty, seeking a compliant enforcer rather than an Attorney General capable of controlling him or resisting him.

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

Correction: cowardly bitches literally charged peaceful protestors, pummeling them to the ground & violating their constitutional rights.

Maga definitely voted for this administration to burn the constitution in favor of oppression & authoritarianism.

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

The Trump administration is completely inept.
There’s no way any of these people should be in charge of anything.
It’s just ridiculous already.
We need a clean sweep. Fire every Republican. Seriously. They’re getting people killed.

In case you didn’t know-
DHS is always at the Super Bowl. DHS is in charge of protecting big events like this from acts of terrorism.
This is not new, but DHS & MAGA are spreading propaganda about ICE being at the Super Bowl to cause fear & chaos. This is what fascists do.

She called it. Kamala Harris laid out Trump’s vengeance agenda before it even happened.

One line that stuck with me most from 107 Days was when she wrote that during the debate, Trump was “unburdened by the truth.”

He’s also unburdened by threat of accountability, thanks to the Supreme Court.
