We're at the "streaming public executions" stage of the slide into fascism. In case you were wondering.

A federal ICE agent shot someone in the Bronx today. That person was taken to the hospital. NYPD were not involved. This is a developing story. Odds that there is no body camera footage from the agent? Odds that the feds will lie about the incident? History tells us that those odds are high.

For the first time in 81 years, the United States will conduct an execution by firing squad against Nidal Hassan, the 2009 Fort Bragg shooter. It will be SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC for live viewing. WTF!?!

The President of the United States is suggesting sacrificing major U.S. cities: At a rally in Nebraska today, Trump said that high prices due to the war are "a small price to pay for keeping our country safe.....they can take out a city. Let 'em take out Los Angeles. Let 'em take out San Diego."

I remember standing in my mom's hospital room in January 2020, watching the news of a virus spreading in China, and thinking how lucky we were that it was so far away. Two months later, the world shut down There are now five medical facilities locked down in Russia after a plague death at a biolab

The DOGE dick who has satellites, rockets, a shit-ton of money, and ALL of our personal information, has been appointed by the drunk Sec Def to a taskforce on the future of warfare. He is joined by Newt Gingrich who is roughly 142 years old and corrupt as fuck. I'm sure that will end.

We’re losing a war, the FBI has been hacked, and our defensive missile stockpiles are apparently down to whatever fireworks were left over from America’s 250th birthday celebration in D.C.—so naturally Pete Kegsbreath is firing more of the military’s top brass.

Watching GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee prostrate and humiliate themselves to paint Jack Smith as the Big Bad Wolf and Donald Trump as the perpetual victim is absolutely vomit-worthy. History will record this moment. They will be remembered as cowards.
