The video by Karen Himmler is also illegal.
Also, Republicans control all three branches of government, so fuck off with that victim mentality.

Far too many institutions are bending the knee to Trump and preemptively giving in to his demands. It’s encouraging to see these airports refuse to entertain this administration’s lawlessness. Kudos to them — hopefully their courage inspires others to follow suit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yeah. Imagine being pissed off where the filmmaker exposed what’s going on with America today on a tv show and making a movie of a superhero who’s already an immigrant. Couldn’t be me.

Tbh, the word “woke” has already lost all meaning to it and I mostly use it for another word of waking up, not bashing on people from who they are or being themselves.

So Apparent Again Yesterday: Joe Biden Is A Real Man. Donald Trump Is Not

A historic ceasefire in the Middle East yesterday, and Trump uses the occasion to lie, to hurl personal insults at his predecessors, and to make the whole day about himself. Joe Biden, on the other hand, congratulated Trump and put the focus on Israel and the Palestinian people. Biden did what real men do. Trump did what cowards do.

This isn’t about ‘hating America.’ It’s about standing up to Trump’s authoritarian regime. That’s what loving America actually looks like.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

I prefer the inflatable frog costumed Portlanders protesting a NAZI regime to a NAZI regime chanting "Jews Will Not Replace Us" at a Unite The Right hate rally.

Funny, Trump doesn't see very fine people on both sides in Portland.

How is that ‘woke’ unless you don’t want to play as women or think women shouldn’t serve in the military?
Also, whatever happened to Em8er?
Looks like you forgot about it to grift off of Charlie Kirk’s corpse.
