If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

It is time to stand up for freedom of speech. It is time to stand up for the trans community. It is time to stand up against fascism. It is time to be brave. I mean - it’s *been* time. So if you’re not fighting back yet, IT’S TIME NOW!

The thing about lying is that it snowballs quickly. So, when you’re trying to lie to an entire nation, there’s infinite ground you have to cover. It is simply not possible to not get caught. The Trump regime is wrapped in its own web of lies, one it will keep tripping over until it’s stuck for good.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Rest in Peace, Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman. She was targeted and assassinated on June 14, 2025 between 2 am and 3:35 am CDT in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Vance Boelter was targeting 70+ Democrats at the time of the incident.
Melissa Hortman was assassinated by a Trump loving right wing extremist who killed her husband and her dog as well in the attack. This was targeted and pre-meditated political terrorism of which the assassin, Republican Vance Boelter, was trying to get about 70 more people at the time of his rampage.  2 others were injured.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

A weekly reminder is probably not enough… THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL. Wearing a hat that says “Trump was right about everything.” Saying “I can do whatever I want. I’m the president.” Ordering removal of a federal reserve governor. Saying that people *want* a dictator. Keep speaking out, friends.

An infographic stating that Trump's agents are not just targeting immigrant communities involved in crime. It shows figures representing the proportion of immigrants taken by ICE, categorized by criminal record: 7% with violent convictions, 28% with no violent convictions, and 65% with no convictions, captioned with a note that ICE is breaking up families and not only pursuing criminals.

Weekly reminder that THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL! The administration taking shares in a private company. National Guard carrying guns and policing our streets. Ideological purity tests in the government. A president demanding a governor to “find me five seats.” The list goes on. Do not get complacent!
