The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP. Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for. We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military. This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files. Except in the United States. Here: Zero shame, zero consequences. We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.

All 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest. I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless. So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms. These are your lands. These are the stakes.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. ow.ly/nh8L50Y8kAb

Who said this: Hitler or Noem: “ Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS. WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

In Politika, Aristotle says you can recognize a tyrannical regime in the fact that it intrudes into every aspect of the lives of its subjects while enshrouding the tyrant and his enablers in complete secrecy. What we see with ICE is the demonstration of that principle. bsky.app/profile/davi...

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

Former FBI official: Tulsi Gabbard should have nothing to do with law enforcement operations whatsoever. She was in a truck with boxes of what are apparently ballots. She is gonna need to be on the chain of custody for those ballots and explain why she was with them and what she was doing.

So. To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar. Not defunded. Not trained and restrained. ABOLISHED. Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

I don’t have a manifesto or philosophy to post.  Just profound grief for what we’ve lost as a nation.  They killed a nurse in cold blood.  His last act was helping a woman who was shoved to the ground by federal agents.  She says his last words were, are you ok?

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has: - Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland - Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota - Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.
