I wish we could all stop calling them Ice and DHS agents and Border Patrol and just call them ALL Trump/Miller agents or Trump/Miller Thugs because that's who they really are. #TrumpMillerAgents #TrumpMillerThugs #TMT #TMA

So Iowa Repub Senator Joni Ernst has decided not to run for re-election. Apparently her campaign slogan, "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!" did not catch on as she had hoped. Here she is yelling her slogan at a rally crowd.

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, friend.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

From THE BRUTALIST, feel the relevance & the rage of these anti-fascist lines from Orazio, the venerable master of the marble quarry in Carrara, Italy: "I will never leave this place. I have left only once in 20 years to go to Giulino, Azzano, to beat the corpse of Mussolini with my own hands."
