“The Blue Angel”—AntiMAGA Poster Extraordinaire. Moths may not cluster around me, but progressive freedom-minded allies get it. I will continue to speak truth to power even if no one is listening!!📢✊🏼

“This is the Way.” >>Resistance!!
Iran has killed 12,000 unarmed civilians in nationwide protests. Trump has killed only a few. He’s suffering Atrocity Envy. A bloodthirsty sadist by nature, he’s itching to call air strikes in Minnesota. But unsure he’ll get compliance from military. So he’s frontrunning w/ Insurrection Act threats.
Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to Minneapolis protests
The 19th-century law allows the president to deploy active-duty service members domestically without congressional approval.

By design. WH cover for the cold-blooded murder of Renee Good is having its desired effects in the streets. Tough macho-men of ICE now specifically targeting bystander women & children.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I find myself listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen these days—a prophet of our times. Saw all this coming from a long way off. As actual prophets will do. Say what you like, he was a very sharp individual. He was smart enough to check out a decade ago when all this started happening.

You know, if Trump is busy moving massive naval assets into the Caribbean, the North Atlantic, or off the coasts of Brazil & Argentina (to protect/liberate some of “favorite dictators” there) would that be a favor to Russia or China? If our forces are deployed there, we lose strategic deterrence.
Greenland faces 'fateful moment' as Trump says U.S. will take it 'one way or the other'
Trump insists the U.S. must take control of Greenland to prevent Russia or China from doing the same — an argument Beijing dismissed Monday as "an excuse" to pursue territorial ambitions.

This popped up on my YouTube feed. Appears to be an AI fake.

Maddow never uses this style of delivery & I’ve never seen or heard of “Rachel’s Desk.” The graphics are all wrong & reek of digital manipulation.

Anyone have line on this? Who’s behind it & why are they doing it?

My guess is Russia.

AG Kekrh Ellison just dropped the mic!
Hayes: The president was asked should they be sharing evidence—his response was no, because Minnesota's corrupt.

Ellison: I will point out no president that I've ever heard of received a $400 million plane from a foreign country trying to curry favor with him, crypto deals, golf courses.

The Trump DOJ vendetta against J Powell is a classic instance of a Star Chamber process. Common criminals could be tried by the crown in public proceedings. High-ranking opponents were targeted by officials of the Star Chamber where privileges & rights were set aside for purposes of royal vengeance.

HISTORIAN NEWSFLASH:

The oft cited Lincoln quote is discovered to be WRONG. Study of his papers reveals his statement, “Without Pubic Sentiment, Nothing can be done,” was actually “Public SENTIENCE.”

Uh oh, Renata. Looks like we’re doomed.🥺😭

During the Second Iraq War, camo fashion became de rigueur daywear for Americans.

I’m planning to capitalize on this “echo boom” of domestic military violence by launching my own line of fascistic fashion called “Elegant Brutality.”

People still respond favorably to pictures of Eisenhower in WW2. 80 years ago. Comparable to pics of covered wagons in the 1920s. Wyatt Earp died in LA in 1929 with electric lights & telephone.

We can’t rely on fond memories to fight fascism. Grass grows. After 80 years? Time to cut the grass.

Account below asked what is allowed now that the Constitution & justice are canceled by the GOP & our corporate overlords.

Nietzsche opined that if God is dead, all things are allowed. Looks like that’s where we are, as the hand of the Almighty is nowhere apparent.

So have at it. Evil ones are.

People seem confused about what an “American” is. Some seem to think it’s about race. Or religion. Or about a certain style of economics. Or music.

I’ll make it simple: You either follow the principles in the Constitution or you don’t. If you don’t, you’re not an American. You are an Anti-American.

Trump feeds on the flesh of his underlings. He goes through subordinates as a fat man goes through eggs at breakfast.

He’s setting Noem up to fall. He gave a huge budget, set monstrous quotas, demanded more violence & blood in the streets. She responded as an eager girl pleases Daddy. Too eagerly.

The Trump dictatorship declares “federal supremacy” to shield the ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, responsible in slaying of Renee Good. It’s a green light of impunity for fascist operatives everywhere. Anyone not MAGA is an enemy of the state & can be shot & killed on sight. Beware & act accordingly.

Found this intriguing item floating amidst other detritus of the MAGA web. Explains a lot about the early training by which one can become governor of a red state, then the capo of a shadowy, murderous terrorist federal force that assassinates poets.
