“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found."

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

Hey Hegseth, what about Americans who don’t worship Jesus Christ? What about Americans who are Jewish? Muslim? Hindu? Or Americans who are non-believers? Should they too get down on bended knee? Or Pete, you white Christian Nationalist, do you want ALL Americans to be FORCED to pray to Jesus Christ?

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does. Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?
