Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Let's just say that I have lived my life in such a way that it would be impossible to notice if I began having a mid-life crisis.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

One reason, among many, that church attendance continues to decline is that people are tired of this kind of blatant hypocrisy.

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

I wish I didn’t have to say this but…

If someone tells you they’re autistic and you find that hard to believe, it might be because:

- They don’t feel safe enough to unmask around you
- Your knowledge of autism is limited

Arguing won’t help. Kindness, curiosity, and listening to understand, will ❤️

🚨 “vote a bitch out” 🚨 This is a must watch!! #vote #2026

kamimagic @kamimagic.bsky.social · 6d

We need to start preparing now!

If you have a MAGA Rep, vote for the Democrat.

No more single issues (remember those who wouldn't vote for Kamala because of Gaza? No more!)

MAGA/GOP will continue to threaten our way of life, unless we vote them out!

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

If George Washington himself had done this as President, he would have been impeached, removed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. This was one of the greatest fears of the Framers.

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

Trump defends use of U.S. military against 'enemy within'

Earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the purpose of the department would exclusively be "war fighting."

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

Chuck Schumer tells reporters at White House that Trump seemed completely oblivious to impending increase in health insurance rates and closing of rural hospitals: "By his face and by the way he looked, I think he heard about them for the first time."
