Here for the politics. I voted for her. No support for President Felon. I block obvious scammers, sex- and crypto-bots, MAGAts and purveyors of self-help as I find them. No DMs.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I went to a Stand with MN march yesterday. After our group left the corner [some 250 people according to the news reports], there were a few [maybe a dozen if I'm being generous] counter protestors there. One of their signs read "The only Fascists are Antifa". Do they even hear themselves?

Make this video go viral. And may the victim rest in peace. Condolences to loved ones. And righteous anger.
#ICEMonsters are cutting us down.
A fucking execution.

For people who insist there is no such thing as climate change, they sure seem bound and determined to shrink the population before the climate change starts shrinking it.
They are capable of understanding vaccines work.
They are willing to accept seeing dead kids as the consequence. They know its wrong & proceed anyway because ideology, status & identity matter more to them than human life. Call it what it is, a sickness & moral rot of a corrupted mind.

Interesting. DOGE worked for Felon under Elon. And Felon turned on them anyway. Seems to me there is a lesson there for ICE agents. And others relying on what Felon tells them vs what the LAW SAYS.

There is no possible way a normal person can keep up with the abuses and atrocities committed by ICE/DHS.
January 22, 2026 at 2:56 AM
Yes, that is what Felon is doing. Trying to completely sidestep and sideline the UN. Just think oof all that prime NY real estate he can then put his name on.
Some thoughts.

President Trump's Board of Peace initiative looks like an attempt to reassign the source of international legitimacy.In Trump's concept, this boils down to the principle that whoever has the resources and control determines the terms of peace, without lengthy UN procedures

That's what you get with single issue voting when the single issue is to limit personal rights that the government shouldn't be trying to restrict. I hope she learned a lesson here. Hatred breeds nothing but more hatred.

Isn't that what FIFA did? And you see how far that's got us.
Won't someone PLEASE, for the sake of all that's rational, give him some sort of prize to limit the worldwide damage he's been doing on a daily basis?

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

How long before there is a broader collapse? Felon wants to drive the US into bankruptcy.
A Danish pension fund, AkademikerPension, has announced plans to sell its U.S. Treasury holdings (about $100 M) by the end of January, citing investment risk concerns.

*This is a single fund’s decision and does not signal a broader collapse of demand for U.S. government debt.

And according to this, the NSC is at least as demented as Felon. I would have thought that professionals would cut this off rather than just blithely going along with it.
Trump. Is. Insane.

And preferably stopped with laws criminalizing their bad behavior. Not relying on the 'morality' of Felon.
Democrats must refuse to vote for any funding bill that increases ICE’s budget and refuse to fund DHS until ICE’s abuses of power are stopped.

The government funding deadline is January 30th. Call your reps today: (202) 224-3121

Isn't Newsmax the one advertising how they are just the facts and no opinion/pundits/propaganda? Sure. Whatever...
Not "why was the tear gas in the toddler's neighborhood" but "why was the toddler in the tear gas's neighborhood"
NEWSMAX host Carl Higbie: “This 6 month old who unfortunately got tear gassed by ICE… That sucks 🤷🏼 , but why was a 6 month old near tear gas in the first place?”

Even I know that medical tourism is a thing. Many US citizens do go to other countries to have surgery done at an affordable cost or to get their prescription meds. And the reason the maternal mortality rate in this country is so high is because women are disposable in this country.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.

It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.

Wake up: fascism is here.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
