I think more people fell for culture war bullshit before the party peddling it started sending death squads to round people up for concentration camps.

Shocking - even from fascist Stephen Miller

Rhodes' conclusion in today's NYT:

"Americans have demonstrated an increasing tendency to live in the present. To avoid future calamities, we must show that we are willing to learn from the history that is rapidly catching up to us."

"Sometimes, it can be hard to realize that the events you fear are the ones already taking place." Ben Rhodes is the former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Obama. Trump's authoritarianism challenges our view of America and requires us to stand up to him. What will you do?

β€œWe have an autocratic leader seeking power and aggrandizement through the conquest of territory and resources. In addition to Venezuela, Mr. Trump has threatened to attack Cuba, Colombia, Mexico and Iran while musing about the annexation of Greenland, the Panama Canal and even Canada.” - Ben Rhodes

That Attorney General Bondi claims Maduro will face "the full wrath" of the U.S. Justice system, proves she does not understand its mission of "ensuring fair and impartial justice by enforcing federal laws and defending U.S. interests." Fair and impartial - not wrathful.

Repulsive, outrageous violation of international law - throw in the violations of the U.S. Constitution and this U.S. President is a bonafide outlaw.

Looking forward to this New Years Day curling up with my iPad to watch the deposition of the great Jack Smith - making we DOJ alumni proud. His courage and commitment to the rule of law under personal threat is truly an inspiration.

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a fresh start! Counting on 2026 to be the year America reminds itself and the world that we are dedicated to democracy and freedom, not despotism.

Trump's racist comments about Somali people in the United States (calling them "garbage") and saying they should go back to their own country (even American citizens) prove one thing - the President is an unapologetic RACIST

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

"Self-hatred" too strong you say? Read this letter from his Uncle David and decide for yourself.

Forgiving those who voted to let him run the country will take every ounce of my Christian forgiveness

Giving him the Justice Department as a consolation prize for losing out on the Supreme Court damned our country to the Trump Pestilence

Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

Someone should put up one of those running tally Times Square billboards that keeps track of the cost to undo what Trump is doing.

Every Republican Senator has the blood of ICE, CECOT and the First Amendment on their hands. Long after Trump is gone, we will remember their complicity and reject their pathetic claims of innocence, ignorance or secret opposition.

Because his corruption knows no bounds. Much worse to come. Thank you dear Pramila for continuing to use your office to speak out and help us to hold him accountable one day.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

Opinion | Trump’s New Marijuana Policy Offers an Opportunity

As a long time proponent of legalized cannabis, I have to point out that the feds have kept a stranglehold on the study of health consequences. Rescheduling benefits public safety and should remove dangerous banking prohibitions. Trump is right on this.

Trump's sickening post about the Reiners brings out my righteousness as a political independent. Democrats must atone for their poor choices: not holding Biden to his pledge to be "transitional," abandoning labor, failing immigration policies and elevating DEI over economic opportunity for all.

Trump's post mocking and blaming the Reiners for their own deaths stuns with its abject cruelty and reminds us of the evil of which he is capable

It is shameful-and expected-that the Supreme Court has chosen to side with those who seek to undermine our democracy and disenfranchise voters of color.

As a former U.S. Attorney, I had great respect and admiration for federal agents, including their training, professionalism and dedication to Constitutional rights of accused persons.

Watching masked ICE and Border Patrol disgusts me. Cowards and hypocrites.
