"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

Republicans calling millions of Americans terrorists for peacefully marching at a...checking notes..."No Kings" rally is a great way to unite the majority against them.

So it's okay when Republicans use clear rascist and incendiary language according to JD Vance ... but if you're a Dem or Liberal you must be jailed for saying Trump supporters are a basket of deplorables.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Hey MAGA Christians. Eric Trump said they were “saving God”. So evidently your God is so weak it needs saved by a cheating, greedy con man and his grifting family.

Got it!!
