Trump says leakers should be shot and then says the press is "almost as bad as a leaker." Does that mean they should be imprisoned instead of shot?

When Trump calls for violence, he's not being figurative or fanciful. He actually wants his enemies to be shot. What happened to Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero was the natural outcome of regime policy. More will die until the tyrant is stopped.

If Trump and Musk succeed in putting a knife into the ribs of Ukraine, it will be a permanent stain on the U.S. and a reminder that no country should ever trust us again.

It’s not Marxism. It’s robber baron capitalism. It’s late-19th century/early 20th century economics in a modified form. There would have been a 2nd revolution then but for anti-trust laws, collective bargaining, and the New Deal. But here we are again. bsky.app/profile/pale...

Fox, probably being fed info from the regime, says the feds' search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home "stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child." In other words, it's fascist bullshit.
