There is one thing trump loves, and that is himself. He doesn’t even love his children, though he wanted to fuck one of them (Ivanka aged out and made a newer model). But the one thing trump hates the most is the American people, which is one reason he’s trying to hurt them so badly.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Children deserve to feel safe at home & in school. This new bill I signed:

➡️ Bars childcare facilities & state preschools from collecting immigration info
➡️ Protects parents’ legal rights & kids’ security if separated
➡️ Ensures schools have safety plans in times of crisis

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

It’s just another in a long line of scare terms they use to foster fear in the little white grannies that consume Fox News. They’ve done this for years; Ebola, migrant caravans, so many. And when an election cycle passes this threat disappears from legacy media. Heavy use now means they’re scared.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Stephanopoulos handled JD’s lies and clumsy misdirections with aplomb, no anger, simply a professionalism most in trumps admin wouldn’t understand.

And a reminder: trump could END THE SHUTDOWN any time he wanted. But he’s using it to hide the Epstein files as long as he can.

True. Also, I think what no one really believed is how institutions would fail to do their duty and hold him accountable. And I think people still don’t understand how mainstream media outlets were bought up by oligarchs to pave the way for a “trump-like” actor. They failed to publicly vet him.

decemberrain.bsky.social @decemberrain.bsky.social · 1d

Not all. I know some good ones. But the ones in trumps orbit, yes, every single one of them is a fucking pedophile.
