They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

The Winners in Trump’s America Are Not You and Me
It’s corporate executives, the Epstein class, fascist thugs, and of course the corrupt president himself.

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"

Jasmine Crockett: “Most of us already know who Trump is — we already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace — when will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior — your silence is complicity & it is very loud”

The geniuses over at the Washington Post just fired 300 journalists because they alienated their audience in 2024 and 2025. Yet, they are still at it!

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Instead of firing 300 journalists, the Washington Post should fire the executives who approved the endorsement of Bondi. In the meantime, if you want to support the pro-democracy outlet that understood the threat from the start, subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

ICE was flawed from day one... born out of post-9/11 fear and built on policies that blurred national security with domestic control. Some systems don’t need reform. They need to be abolished.

Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."

GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."

Across the US, children & teens, stepped into the streets to confront the regime and ICE. In places, they were so young they required police escorts; in others, they stood their ground as MAGA extremists attempted to intimidate them.

Israel fires, Palestinians cease to exist.

Fuck these Zionists. May they all face Nuremberg style trials. End the genocide!
