Trump’s government will be remembered by history as a laboratory of weaponized deceit—run by officials who lied under oath, broke promises instantly, and turned public health, justice, and national security into ideological wreckage. This isn’t leadership; it’s institutional arson. #TruthOnFire

Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning while sitting on a $25M fortune built on “public service” is the purest distillation of today’s GOP: grievance as branding, corruption as portfolio strategy, and victimhood as a business model. Power was never the project—profit was. #FollowTheMoney

The CDC’s new “vaccines and autism” page isn’t science—it’s state-sponsored sabotage. Career scientists describe shock, fear, and a sense of being hijacked as political appointees override evidence to push anti-vax propaganda that will cost children their lives. #ProtectTheTruth

Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine is a reckless, destabilizing gift to Putin, demanding Kyiv cede territory, cap its army, & abandon NATO while threatening to cut American support. Europe scrambles to salvage credibility as the U.S. sidelines allies, risking global instability. #BetrayingUkraine

Greene’s resignation letter casts her as a martyr to “elites,” but it reads like a confession wrapped in denial. She laments a broken Washington she helped shatter, fleeing the chaos she fueled. Her exit is the epitaph of a movement that mistook rage for governance.

A president who incites mobs and forces senators into 24/7 security isn’t leading a nation; he’s terrorizing it. Trump’s death-threat politics are not “toughness”—they’re authoritarianism in its purest, ugliest form. And Republicans’ silence is consent. #ProtectOurDemocracy

Texas didn’t simply fail Tierra Walker—Republican lawmakers engineered the conditions of her death. A woman begged for basic medical care, yet doctors feared GOP prison threats more than her spiraling seizures. When a party criminalizes medicine, it is not “pro-life”; it is manufacturing graves.

Trump’s plot to rig 2026 through a coast-to-coast gerrymander machine is imploding. Courts are swatting down his corrupt maps, GOP legislators are rebelling, and Democrats are shockingly gaining ground. The autocrat who promised dominance is losing control of his own pawns. #RiggingUnmasked

Aladeen's critique of the West—from rigging elections to corporate control—was satire, but the joke feels too close to reality under late-stage capitalism.
If a fictional dictator can spot the flaws in our democracy, maybe it's time to fix them. 🤔
