I am very, very angry about this. The President of the United States just invited a foreign power with whom WE ARE AT WAR to destroy my city. And absolutely nothing will come of it. Some Dem politicians will post chastisingly online & some posters will mock them & by tomorrow it won't make the news.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

Trump announced that he, the historically overwhelmingly unpopular pedophile president, is planning on making the midterms a referendum on himself. The Democrats saw that and were like absolutely the fuck not, we need to make the midterms a referendum on a random podcaster no one knows

“Are you okay?” Those were Alex Pretti’s last words before ICE agents beat him, shot him 10 times, and killed him. The Trump administration’s response? Demonize the victim. Deny wrongdoing. Derail the state investigation. No. We are not okay.

Yeah we’re definitely out of missiles
Trump: The U.S. has massive amounts of "munitions, especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history. The "leakers" of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!

They're continuing to kill people because this administration has told them that the people they're apprehending -- and those who defend them -- deserve violence, that no amount of violence is too much, and that no matter how egregious the abuse, they'll never be held accountable.
