No one ever accidentally gets a tattoo that signifies love and respect for black women…

… but I’m supposed to believe that people accidentally get Nazi tattoos.

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.

Morons Are Governing America

It's gonna take years, decades, maybe even centuries to undo the damage this cruel, lawless psychopath & all his cowardly enablers in the administration, in Congress, & in right-wing media have done to this country & the world, & some of the damage will never be undone.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Thousands of public comments slam Trump’s ballroom: β€˜I did not vote for this’ A Post analysis of submitted comments found more than 97 percent were critical of the planned 90,000-square-foot addition. The White House has defended it as necessary.

Donald Trump is spending 400 million on a gilded ballroom β€” and bragging about it.

But nothing to lower your grocery bill or health care premiums.

You deserve better.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) β€” on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

β€œWe have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

On this day in 1965, peaceful marchers in Selma, including my friend John Lewis, were beaten by state troopers for demanding the right to vote.
The violence of Bloody Sunday shocked the nation and helped lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act just months later.

The Engine of the Right Is White Christian Nationalism White Christians have to step up to stop it

The engine of my former political party is white Christian Nationalism. It’s utterly un-American & utterly un-Christian. But it’s real. And it’s here. And it must be reckoned with. Today’s piece.πŸ‘‡ open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.

Fox’s Peter Doocy tells Trump that the Russians may be helping Iran kill American soldiers

And instead of denying the report, vowing to make sure it doesn’t happen or expressing any concern for the American troops who might be in danger

He insults Doocy-because he thinks the man is being rude

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?

Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

The Trump regime is currently holding more than three times as many detainees as Nazi Germany had six years into the Third Reich, and the stated goal of 15 to 20 million deportations would exceed the entire population that moved through the Soviet Gulag system over more than twenty years.

I keep asking myself this, and then sadly remembering I know the answer.

It's hard to point out every day for ten years straight that Trump lies constantly about literally everything without sounding like a crank. It's unfathomable and insane that anyone could lie that much.

Why is Trump live-tweeting his own victory lap over a war that’s still unfolding? And telling the world, including Iran, his attack plans.

Every serious military leader just cringed.
