Not MAGA, but MACCS. Make America a Chinese Communist Sh*thole.

ICE vehicle getting towed at St John's hospital (Oxnard, CA) ✊🏽

I agree with AOC on this. ICE is going to go on a hiring spree. I expect its ranks to be filled up with Proud Boys types. ICE will become Trump’s personal police force to go after not just immigrants, but Trump’s political opponents. America is about to have its very own Stasi.

A very unserious country put very unserious people in power.

This is what fascism looks like. Arresting elected officials because they oppose him.

Life comes at you fast. 12 hours ago; now.

It's interesting how Trump offers nothing but lies and childish antagonism, and yet somehow that appeals to a third of voting-age adults. Spiritually and psychologically, our country is in a dark place.

Because America under Trump is Hell.

🤬 This is what "Russian World" looks like…

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Jacob deGrom's Mechanics from all 6 of his Strikeouts (Overlay).

no pitcher in mlb history had ever given up 5 home runs and walked 5 batters in a game without facing at least 35 batters nestor cortes today did it while facing only 17 batters

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

Truer words were never spoken.

It’s been an awful long time since I’ve seen a man less made for a moment than @SenSchumer.

Are we witnessing the final collapse of Musk's Twitter? We can only hope.

Do you see these comments often on social media? Google "Internet Research Agency."

This is a difficult time for tankies. They have to pretend US planning regime change so they can steal a country's mineral wealth is now a good thing.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

I love my country. And I agree with the Kyiv Independent. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

If MAGAs had one ounce of self-awareness, this is the question they'd be asking themselves after that Zelensky-Trump meeting.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

We've reached the point where MAGA Congresspeople just blatantly and unabashedly lie to their constituents.

Liz Cheney condemns Trump and his Republican enablers

1. Rubio will get owned by Lavrov. 2. He will come out with some shitty deal that nobody would accept. 3. Trump & Putin will blame Ukraine when it’s rejected (“they don’t want peace, etc”). 4. Pro-Ukraine Rs in Congress will say nothing.

There are two main reason why the American far right wants to whitewash German history with regard to the Holocaust. 1) The American far right wants to whitewash our own history with regard to slavery, Indian removal, and Jim Crow. 2) The American far right thinks Hitler was a good guy.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

Some of you hate Democrats more than you love the Constitution and it shows.

Expect this to get a lot worse. The American people voted to make it worse.

Every time Trump or Vance speaks, I feel the need to remind everyone of these basic truths.👇 Putin is bad. Ukraine is good. Any alliance of dictators is bad. NATO is good. Christian nationalism & authoritarianism are bad. America is good. Oh…and one more: Allies are good.

It clear that Trump wants to keep the threat of prosecution alive to keep Adams in line. Which rules out a pardon. But, at the end of the day, a pardon may be necessary.

In short, Hagan Scotten said, I will not be part of your attempt to weaponize the Justice Department.

Help people learn about their rights. It makes fascist scum angry.

The homoerotic statements coming from MAGA are amazing.

So many words come to mind. So many words.

It’s definitely not bothering him

Out: Vaccines. In: Brain worms. Well done, America.

Yes, hard power is important. But, soft power can be very effective to preventing the use of hard power. USAID has saved the United States and our allies from engaging in war. And at a fraction of the cost.

See this for what it is (and call it out), another formal boost from Team Trump for the AFD.

OTD in 1990 the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany was drafted Despite how massively important NATO's promise was, and how it *totally* was made, the treaty makes NO mention of NATO allowing new eastern members. The USSR didn’t even ask for it to be.
