The next president won’t have to remove the gold crap from the White House. Trump will pull anything down that’s real and take it with him to Mar a Lago.

Gerrymandering, whether political or race based, is wrong. Why can’t states use AI to generate fair maps? I created an image of Minnesota in about 10 seconds.

I swear, GOP pundits gleefully cheer on political violence against members of their own party just so they can loudly shout that the “crazy left wing liberals’ are responsible because of their rhetoric. Sorry, we will continue to criticize the administration, with facts, not rhetoric.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

What city should be chosen to host the war crimes trials of this administration? I’m willing to bet Nuremberg would step up, as would many cities In Europe, but Tehran, Caracas, or Havana would be great choices too. Donald Trump would finally get his wish - high tv ratings.

In the movie Nuremberg, these quotes stood out. "I'm quite certain there are people in America who would willingly climb over the corpses of half the American public if they knew they could gain control of the other half". Also, "The only clue to what man can do is what man has done".

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Serious question about transgender athletes. Since sex isn’t binary (although a lot of people seem to think it is), why not have physical rules for each sport, like wrestling does today? Could be height, weight, muscle mass, or whatever; min and max. Leave sex out of it and see what happens.

Dear media, in regards to the murder of Renee Cook: it’s not “the admin is setting the narrative”. It’s “gaslighting”. She did not “flee the scene” like a common criminal. She tried to leave peacefully. Trump is not “incorrect”, he’s lying. Same for Noem. It’s time to speak clearly.

So many white people are just now realizing that if they were murdered on the street in cold blood by a masked agent of the state, their family members would tell the media, “she just should have complied.”

I’m not as afraid of my government as I am of my neighbors. There, I’ve said it. Their morals have disappeared, and their only value seems to be protecting their leader at all costs. How did this happen? Did we teach them? When did winning an argument become more important than compassion?

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

I didn’t sleep last night. My stomach is in knots today. It feels like a good portion of the country is okay blaming the victim for her own death. Women are used to men telling them they “deserved it” when they were raped. “Shouldn’t have been there”, “that’s what happens when…”. Trauma revisited.

If ICE agents weren’t issued firearms or pepper spray and prohibited from wearing masks, but could carry a taser, what do you think would happen? I think their numbers would drop to almost nothing. These men sign up because they want to inflict harm but want to do it anonymously.
