This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

There is no current writer whose wisdom and insight I respect more than @mollymckew.bsky.social’s. This piece beautifully sums up where we are, what we face, and how we shall prevail, and it has left me in tears:

The sacred American spaces desecrated by the American president

The American faithful must find their voice if the divine American idea is to survive

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

You gotta hand it to Johnson and the House Republicans - they’re not missing a paycheck, while federal workers get cut off. They’ve stayed away from DC and doing their jobs since Sept 19! Getting paid for nothing while others struggle. So GOP!

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

He wants to change/break everything before he’s stopped. And hey, it ain’t his money no matter where it comes from, so why would he care? 🤬

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I don’t care* who financed it. It’s not his to do with as he wishes, it’s OURS.

*well, yeah, I want to know who’s bribing The Orange Menace, but it’s the secondary consideration.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

I was on the "the next prez must tear down The Monstrosity" team, but have a better idea: turn it into offices for all the helping-people agencies he destroyed. USAID, for example. Put it to use for The People. #NoKings

The pandering New York Times on why Donald Trump's penchant for destroying a beloved piece of American history by ignoring rules and regulations, and spreading asbestos into the air, for a vulgar vanity project is utterly charming to voters. Goodbye subscription!

“One atrocity after another just this past week…If you’re fine with all that, you should ask yourself what’s broken inside of you…The true danger of corruption is that evil ceases to be regarded as such by otherwise good people. It just becomes the new normal.”
