Back then, Bush and Giuliani were right when they affirmed that American Muslims are simply fellow Americans—and today’s Trump-radicalized GOP is wrong. It’s as simple as that.

How the Right Came to Embrace Anti-Muslim Bigotry
After the terrorist attacks of September 11th, Republican leaders opposed anti-Muslim sentiment. But the right’s worst instincts won.

Every single damn day men kill their family members, including an incident just last week where a man in MT killed 8 members of his family — 4 of them children. But you barely heard a peep about it in the national conversation. Men killing their families is so common there’s a name for it… 1/

Over 15,000 veterans have lost their homes since trump destroyed the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase program in 2025. Democratic amendments offered in Committee would have reversed these devastating cuts. Republicans blocked them.

Miss Candy had outfitted the Blue Angels for 43 years. The Navy was paying her $127,000 per year for the contract. Without telling her, the Trump regime gave the contract to a white man 900 miles away and paid him almost triple. Original post: www.instagram.com/reel/Db8Yh5b...

Note that women overwhelmingly kill their partners to escape their abuse, while men overwhelmingly kill their partners because a) the partners want to escape them, b) they want to marry someone else without loss of money/property/control of offspring, or c) both the above.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote. They found one. One. And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

Here’s the 60 Minutes report on “white genocide” in South Africa. It demonstrates it’s a lie, shows what’s really happening, debunks the specific claims made by Trump and ends with an Afrikaner saying it’s racist for the US to welcome his people rather than genuine refugees from around the world.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
