Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

if you work in media and aren't loudly and unambiguously using your platform to fight this dictatorship, then you are failing.

Die Regierung ist auf den Schutz der Menschenwürde verpflichtet. Das gilt für Maja T. nicht nur wegen der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft, sondern auch deshalb, weil die deutschen Behörden die gegenwärtigen Haftbedingungen durch eine rechtswidrige Überstellung nach Ungarn erst herbeigeführt haben.

Submit articles of impeachment against Trump for an act of war w/o approval from congress. When congress inevitably turns down the impeachment, give a press conference announcing each dissenting voter’s name as someone who has chosen to abandon American democracy in favor of a Trump dictatorship

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity.

ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

The United States has sent a 79-year-old man with a limited vocabulary, whose face is painted in orange pigment and hair is I-Don't-Know-What to speak to America's interests at the G-7. He will do so in incomplete or broken sentences.

He will then report back as to who liked him and who he liked.

Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Kim Jong-un all loved them. Gargantuan military tank parades are the favorite fetish of dictators, driven by pubescent power fantasies of the simple minded and as a simple, heavily armored response to the complexity of the world. Parades are a testimony to their poverty

Police brutality captured on ABC7-- as the police chief gives a press conference.

A fire breaks out, then cops brutally assault a protestor. They run him over with a horse and hit him with batons several times, despite the fact he does not pose any threat to the officers.

Cops are rioting.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
