I swear to god, I hope every one of these bitch-ass ICE fuckers rot in a prison where cruelty rains down on them mercilessly for the rest of their miserable, deplorable lives.
This is a goddamn nightmare.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

I think Satan (if he's not here already) is taking notes about how absolutely, mind-bogglingly easy it's been for tyrannical, evil forces to overtake this country. "Both-sidesism" competes w/ wanton cruelty competes w/ blatant denialism competes w/ ignorance competes w/ cognitive dissonance. Ugh.
There were 35 US strikes on Caribbean boats between Sept 2 and Jan 3 (one every 3 days). None in the 21 days since then. Funny that.

The world is on fire bc of this fking debased, unhinged, evil criminal-tyrant & yet still only 49% say things are worse. Talk about living in bubbles. When the sky falls, let's see how that bubble holds up, ignoramus.
And according to the new New York Times/Siena poll, a majority of voters disapprove of Trump’s presidency, with Trump underwater when it comes to immigration (-17), the economy (-18), and the cost of living (-29).

Cold, dark, suffocating truth; & now Trump clarifies he's not so "inclined" (insert sad laugh here at the absurd idea he ever was) to focus on peace as a primary goal since we didn't throw "roses" at the boots of our Benevolent Grotesque Dictator - we shall *now* feel the wrath of his displeasure.
This isn’t parody. It’s a message attributed to the sitting U.S. president arguing the world isn’t safe unless America has “complete and total control” of Greenland—because he didn’t get a Nobel Prize.

Indeed. How much more/longer do we let this go on? The damage is bone-deep already; it's critical, comprehensive, & will take massive effort over many years (decades?) to try & repair. I believe America is chemically changed in an irreversible way already. WHEN do we salvage what's left?!

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

The only think Hillary was wrong about was the size of the container - there is no way in this dystopian hellscape that a 'basket' could hold all of the dumpster-dwelling deplorables that this era of Trumpsterism has wickedly unleashed.

For me, it's so nauseating bc I was shouting to people that this was all going to happen before that dumptster scum was allowed BACK into the WH (by a popular vote) for a 2nd time. They voted for him anyway. Many of us will fight b/o their ignorance. I will never forgive them for what they enabled.
You won't get an alert on your phone when a full-blown dictatorship arrives. It happens in steps. The traitor sends a mob to sack the Capitol, gets away with it, calls for "termination" of the Constitution, lies to get re-elected and unleashes a thug army on cities. Get active before it's too late.
