I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

Trump destroys everyone who works with him. Except Rex Tillerson. But Tillerson was already in charge of the most evil empire on earth -- Exxon.

Give up TV news. No one watches the evening news. Just make it a version of the morning shows - a five minute newscast followed by segments with celebrity chefs, makeup tips, making the perfect latte at home, spring fashion, etc. Stop trying to BS us into believing you care about your audience.

Trump is not waiting for an incident or to be provoked into invoking the Insurrection Act. He'll do it when he fèels like it. Stop trying to make sense of Trump.

Depending on how the Trump regime collapses, by Trump's death or if he flees the country, expect criminal usage of presidential pardons by Trump or Vance. Let's think now about how to counter those so ALL the criminals involved are brought to justice.

as a small person who has spent a ton of time traveling alone without ever feeling the need to carry a gun, I also think about this a lot
As a small woman I think it’s pathetic to feel the need to carry a gun everywhere to feel safe. If I don’t feel the need how tf do these men that think they’re so big and tough.

In the 1960s there were protests and riots and fires in many major American cities. Our leaders then were shit stains but at least they didn't cry like cowards and call it an "insurrection".
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche calls what is happening in Minneapolis an “insurrection” and threatens to go after Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey over their “terrorism.”

So when Trump has to flee the country he'll have stolen Venezuelan oil money in hidden Qatari bank accounts.
Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

The 1st Trump admin swore they'd put an American on the Moon ... by 2024. "Everyone knew," one NASA source says, "it was pretty much bullshit.”
Now the 2nd Trump admin is swearing it'll happen by 2028. Small problem: Musk got the sole-source contract to build the lunar lander, and hasn't delivered.

Billions in funding to the first company to deploy google maps-type cars to patrol the streets documenting ICE movements and ICE crimes. Cars with whirling cameras on the roof swarming the city and mapping all ICE activity and sending that back to a database so citizens can be aware and be safe.

In almost every NFL game I watch one or two players get a concussion. There's about 270 regular season games so that's a lot of guys getting concussions. That seems bad.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

In 2013 residents of Watertown, MA were put at unnecessary risk by police officers who "self-deployed" from other jurisdictions, fired weapons at people they believed were the Tsarnaev brothers and were not, and ultimately engaged in a firefight where one officer shot and nearly killed another.
Before Trump, law enforcement were trained to behave professionally. At a traffic stop they would start with words such as "Mam, may I see your drivers license and registration."
ICE evidently trains their goons to start a stop with screamed profanity, quickly followed by violence.

In Iran, every uprising and ensuing deadly crackdown has further eroded the regime's legitimacy, with it being seen as increasingly hostile to its own people, clinging to privileges that have become ever more intolerable.
