MAGA nation silent about latest Right Wing terror attack. Trumpster mass killer sets a church ablaze in Michigan and nary a word from MAGA nation, Bondi, Stephen Miller and the clown himself. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
This not the United States of America any longer. We have turned into something I do not recognize any longer.

Donald Trump is a petulant child. Instead of hanging a picture of his predecessor in the WH as every President before him has done he ordered a picture of an auto pen be hung in Joe Biden’s place. When will we be relieved of this imbecile?!

Even after the federal prosecutor who refused to charge Comey resigned the Justice Department will still indict Comey on trumped up charges. The witchhunts and purges have begun. This is what a dictatorship looks like. cnbc.com/2025/09/24/jam…
ICE agents in Chicago shoot and kill a man over a scrapped knee. WTF is going on w these goons! We need to be able to identify these agents and do background checks on them. How many are fired cops w histories of abuse? No one knows. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/…
Boycott Disney Now! Free speech matters in America.
It is most certainly “remarkable and different”. It’s a fascist state funeral for a man who espoused hate, bigotry and misogyny for the entirety of his short life. Trump nation has their martyr complete w a Nuremberg style rally. Where is Leni Riefenstahl when you need her?

'Trump’s merry team of Fascists are being thwarted in their attempts to capitalize on Kirk’s murder. No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
File this under, can’t make this shit up. Right Wing racist and provocateur Charlie Kirk may get a statue on every college campus in Oklahoma. For the love of God, when will this lunacy end?! e themirror.com/news/politics/…
The daily avalanche of shite from the Trump dictatorship is meant to distract from his pedophilia scandal and a government created recession. Wake the fuck up people!
This is beyond sickening. The government of the United States is declaring war on its own people. If you didn’t think this was real, it is. Prepare accordingly. Me and my family are. kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readies-…
Simone Biles details the living hell that Charlie Kirk put her through. Yep, a wonderful Christian husband and father. facebook.com/share/1BcQGae6…
As Kierkeggarrd once said, “The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins.” A very appropriate quote for our times. If only more tyrants were dying though.
Let me get this straight, it is ok for Fox News to suggest that homeless people be subject to involuntary lethal injection but Jimmy Kimmel can’t joke about Trump wanting to talk about his new ballroom instead of addressing Charlie Kirk’s murder. Got it. Fascism in full effect.

Never thought I would say this but thank you to the Cato Institute for publishing data that shows Right Wing terrorism accounts for six times more deaths in America than the Left Wing does. If Trump wants to crack down on terrorism in America he needs to start w his supporters.

Yes, Pastor. An awful and unjustifiable murder does not redeem how one lives their life.

Fox News anchor says involuntary lethal injection or something that just kills them as solution to the problem of mentally ill homelessness. This guy should be fired immediately. Where is the MAGA outrage?! Fuck these nutters.

Justifiable ICE killing? You decide. Doesn’t seem to jibe with the official story from what this footage shows. facebook.com/share/v/177492…
