Every time I try to type “Indivisible” my autocorrect thinks I want to type “Indica.”

Tonight the warped ramblings of the president’s troubled mind were highlighted by a bizarre post about reopening Alcatraz
As well as the feud between Trump and Hollywood
But soon enough Americans will stop laughing at Trump’s halfwitted missives
When the 145% tariffs on China start to kick in

Trump is a monster, and if not stopped, will transform Alcatraz into a death camp.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Your occasional reminder that tariffs are constitutionally a Congressional power, which they have delegated to the President under the premise that there is some sort of emergency. The Republicans in Congress can reclaim that power anytime they want.

Republicans voted to block hearings on #SignalGate yesterday.
They know that if they allow hearings we’ll learn that Felon47s foreign policy team broke the law & expose all of the other Cabinet level meetings taking place outside of security & record keeping protocols.

Truth be told…this is why I become unhinged when I see certain people on here talking slick.
Watch what comes next:
White-appearing Hispanic/Latine children “rehomed” with White American parents.
This is why the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 was passed, to keep White families from stealing Indigenous children.

This is not a fkg drill, y'all.
Trump’s new executive order doesn’t officially declare martial law, but it lays the foundation for a militarized, authoritarian police state.
He’s gutting oversight, militarizing cops, and threatening to prosecute local officials.

Objection: This Isn’t Martial Law—But It’s Close
