Nah, that's not "our" government, that's "the" government. They do not represent me, and you shouldn't give them the indulgance of representing you either, Mike.
Red white and blue is much bigger, goes much deeper, and is far more meaningful than any paticular president, congress, senate, judiciary, or ephemeral policy.
We walked for an hour in sub zero temperatures in Minneapolis during the march. It was inspirational and moving. So many people came out, all different ages. So glad to have taken part.
Proud that so many Minnesotans are stepping up and out together to show the country and the rest of the world that we have open-hearted Americans — Thank you!
Bless you! Two year olds? Now they're taking TWO year olds and claiming they're "pro life" because they worship "babies"? Fuck that. Every child they take is a life destroyed by trauma. I've been having dreams about these thugs getting a taste of their own treatment.
That is amazing. You have more guts to brave the sub-zero weather than I would have. Then again, it's ill-advised for the elderly. Heartening to see so many people out there in solidarity.
Not just to everyone in America, he is an embarrassment to everyone worldwide. Heck, he's such an embarrassment even planets in the universe are blushing.
I think Trump is trying to gift Europe to Russia that is why it is this way. Like he backed away from the Ukraine. Letting Russia use the Ukraine as a stepping stone into the rest of Europe. Will he gift Taiwan to China. This is certainly taking heat off of the EPSTEIN FILES. Go Minnesota go. He is only being heavy on Democratic states. Maybe you can publish the Democrats that voted to fund ICE. Are they in Republican states? Remember Rene Good.
I belueve William Sascha Riley who has named trump as appearing to be the leader of their child sexual abuse ring. Also named as being at at least one party are Jim Jordan, Clarence Thomas, Lindsay Graham and Briggs. None of them are suing victims that name them likely due to discovery.
The reps who crossed and voted to fund ICE 10 BILLION MORE DOLLARS are: Henry Cueller (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Perez (Washington), Laura Gillen (NY), Don Davis (NC-My state and I’ve already been lighting his socials and office UP), Tom Suozzi (NY), and Vincent Gonzalez (TX).
Every single one needs to be voted out. No more cushy job with phenomenal healthcare benefits and dirty lobbyist money. They are doing the OPPOSITE of representing their constituents, so they need to go. Same goes for every Dem who voted against impeaching Trump both times last year, and the traitors who caved during the shutdown and allowed affordable healthcare to vanish. TIME TO GO.
I came up with a German style acronym that is pronounced as "ice" as in EISS which stands for Entfuhrung Intern Schutzstaffel which means Abduction Internal Secret Police (had to get the meaning of SS in there). Eiss is actually the German word for "pus". That agency is a pus on humanity.
Agree. Being free is part of our identity and why we’re standing up for each other. My daughter said she wants to be like Martin Luther King Junior and help people go to school. She’s very young so she doesn’t know about the current state of our country. I was so proud of her. She learned about him in school.
That's exactly what I did. I was against everything that had anything to do with Ronny and Nancy Reagan and now against trump and his regime. They do not represent me. What an embarrassment. He is not my president. I stand with the Europeans.. against trump.
Say what you will about Reagan, Deb, but I would take him back in a heartbeat if he were available instead of Trump. Reagan did bring down the Berlin Wall and convinced Gorbachev to dissolve the Soviet Union, all of which Putin, with Trump's acquiesence, is now trying to reassemble. Given what we're going through now with Trump, the Reagan years were years of wine and roses. Respectfully, Nick G.
This is an inspiring perspective. But this also means the US government is no longer of, by, and for the people. Or, it is, and we have a major problem that will repeat and get worse when this administration and Congress is gone. We have a lot of work to do.
You are correct, it is no longer for us. We are in a full-blown facist dictatorship. Complete with SS, Gestapo, and internment camps. We’re not trying to prevent it, we are deeply and fully enmeshed in one already, one year later. If Trump rigs Midterms, or declares a war to suspend elections, we are deeply and utterly fucked. For decades to come.
We have to go on offense. He WILL mess with the midterms. Whether trying to cancel them or seizing ballot boxes or demanding vote counts stop, he will do it. At minimum, contact your local and state reps, tell them this, and ask them their plan to counter. Contact Republican secretaries of state, attorney generals, and governors.
I have two questions I’m respectfully demanding they answer: how will you stop or bring ICE to account - and how are planning NOW to counter election meddling?
I agree 100%! trump is such an embarrassment and I feel like every time he opens his mouth, he talks like he's speaking for all of us. But I want it known that trump has never and will never speak for me. Ugh I can't stand him or any of the sycophants who are with him.
Stunningly wrong. Dude. 🙄 WE have done no such thing. The intelligent world sees us marching and sees us being assaulted and kidnapped and murdered by his Gestapo, simply for existing. And they know he is not our President and does not speak for US. Trump has always been and will only ever be for HIMSELF. Period. Fuck right off trying to provoke and shame people in here. Dude.
What I mean is that when your president is speaking on an international level :
When he is threatening other countries with ever changing tariffs
+
When he insults your longtime allies by trying to rewrite history and he belittles their contributions and sacrifice of soldiers on the battlefield (soldiers that came to your aide when asked)
+
When he invades a sovereign countriy and continues to threaten to invade other sovereign countries so that he can just steal whatever he wants …etc…etc…he is speaking for the American People.
His voice is yours no matter who you voted for.
Oh, and the rest of the world no longer trusts you.
It was rushed. And it was skewed, but only because too many US voters chose to believe the lies/propaganda about Harris. Dems still act like she was not a good candidate, which means that the repub/Russian propaganda worked even on non-repubs.
It's heartbreaking, especially since her policies would have helped the working and middle classes, small business owners, children, students, etc. and would have grown the already strong economy. It's also infuriating because she has been completely right about everything trump would do if elected.
I voted for Kamala. I was proud to do so. Those who did not bother to vote should feel so ashamed! We would not have all of this suffering if Kamala had become our president. It will take decades to restore our country to what it was before trump. President Biden did a great job of bringing us out of the COVID pandemic and getting people back to work. Our economy under President Biden was the envy of the Free World. Look at us now! I am ashamed to be an American.
Same, same, same... I also felt such happiness and pride voting for Harris! I know our country is as misogynistic as it is racist (which is saying a great deal), but I had hope against hope that she would win. It felt possible... now things just keep getting more and more dreadful.
Oh it did translate. She won. But Elon and his best hacker, Ethan Shaotran, hacked voting machine code, which is how Trump won EVERY swing state. To make a lie work, it has to be believable, and they did not do that. They swung for the fences.
The so-called "mainstream" media kept people uninformed, fed them lies, claimed Harris had no "message" which she did but they refused to amplify it, demanding instead she respond to some thing that Trump had said. Yes, blaming it on her quality as a candidate was false, same thing they did with Hillary (who WON the popular vote) because if a woman isn't perfect she's no good.
I also blame Democrats and people on the left, all too eager to swallow the whole thing about her not being perfect and failing to vote to "teach Democrats a lesson," often over a fake issue like Paaaaaalestiiiiine. Were any of those "pro-Palestine" "activists" paying attention in 2024 when Jared Kushner promised to do in Gaza exactly what he presented this week in Davos with pretty pictures of giant gold buildings and the promise that some Palestinians could be slave labor, the way they are in places like Dubai and Doha? Their ignorance disgraces their alleged cause.
America had a clear moral choice in 2024, and enough chose the immoral white man because they just couldn't bear the thought of another black person, and a woman, even worse to be President. And many immigrant communities are racist and/or sexist. So they believed him when Trump said he only meant criminals. Such fools, and many are paying for their folly with their lives...dead, incarcerated without counsel, or deported.
Every progressive I’ve talked to says that they, like myself, voted democrat against Trump. The only exceptions appear to have been progressive Arab Americans who warned Kamala they would skip voting if she didn’t halt her pandering to Israel. Not fixing that was her fatal mistake.
No, it wasn't. This so-called "fix" would've lost her the election even bigger. She couldn't cave to the demand to abandon Israel without losing progressive Jews — a massively larger Democratic base group than progressive Arab Americans. She made the right choice — and so many of the so-called "pro-Palestinians" were just trendy cause jumpers looking for an excuse. Jews are one of the Democrats most faithful voter bases.
Then there's a situation like my congresswoman's. She is one of the most progressive congresspeople. She is not only on fire about ICE and murders in Minneapolis, but she's a great multitasker — in the last week she's taken on the anniversary of Roe and the shabby anti-woman tactics of the GOP and demanded the release of the Epstein files. But she got shit in her campaign from people who thought she was too cozy with Israel. Big problem: the district has about 4000 Palestinians — but it has 12,000 Orthodox Jews. (Overall nearly 100,000 Jews compared to 35,000 Arabs). You can't demand total capitulation to please the smaller side. The whole Israel/Palestine situation is way too complex anyway, and deeply misunderstood by most who haven't been into it for a while i.e. before October 7, 2023.
Elon and his award-winning hacker Ethan Shaotran tampered with voting machine code, which is how Trump magically won EVERY swing state by a landslide. And he can’t not brag, even of his own cheating, and said multiple times, afterwards on camera, that without Elon he never would have won. That’s EXACTLY what he was referring to. Without Elon helping him cheat, he would not be President right now, and we would not be in the middle of this brutality-drenched facist hellscape fever dream. Lie cheat and steal, then project and deflect. That is the Trump TM way.
No, they didn't. There's no "voting machine code" accessible to be tampered with; that's not how voting systems work (I've worked on four different ones.) This is pure conspiracy fiction and need to stop it. Trump won. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow, but he did. Any "rigging" was on the front end: voter suppression. The media's hostility to Harris' campaign, refusal to amplify her messages, its concealing of Trump's floundering, and the idiotic attitude of the so-called "pro-Palestinians" who didn't vote to "teach Democrats a lesson" were responsible. There's no credible evidence of machine hacking anywhere in the U.S.in any election.
the FACE ACT actually requires that any violence or disruption be "because of" the religion practiced in the church--to actually interfere with the worship because that is what is being protested. Under analogies with other statutes, the MOTIVE has to be interfering with the worship.
That's not what these protests were about. Not clear what other Federal laws apply. This appears to be the first time a DOJ has tried to prosecute the "church" part of the statute; thus there appears to be no case law.
Unreal … every time I hear Trump and his beyond criminal, stupid,duplicitous and insane cabal, all I want to do is scream SHUTUP, SHUTUP, SHUTUP! STFU!!!!
So do I! I no longer watch television because I would be screaming at the television all of the time! trump is the most disgusting human on the face of the earth!
Honestly! Complete embarrassment. NOT the first time this has happened to me. First time I visited Argentina was right after 9-11 & Bush was threatening war in Iraq. Each person around the lunch table asked me “Do you LIKE Bush?” Every person there asked me individually! I answered every person, “No.” I didn’t tell them the fucking Patriot Act and how intense boarding an airplane in the US, how long it look. So when I was leaving Buenos Aires, they didn’t believe me when I told them how EARLY I had to get there. SO I missed the flight & had to stay another full 24+ hours. Which I didn’t really mind! Traveling for even harder from US airports then soon international flights TO the US.
I vividly remember when Bush announced we were going to war in Iraq. My oldest son was in boot camp and I had been paying very close attention to the news coming out of other countries regarding Iraq and their nuclear program. Even back then I didn't trust our media. The UN inspectors had said Iraq was in compliance and had no WMD. I'm usually a very calm person. I had to be as a Firefighter/EMT/Nurse (plus I just am), but I was screaming at the TV, calling Bush all sorts of bad names, some I didn't even know I knew. I'm pretty sure I spent bit of time beating up my bed. My son had 3 long deployments to Iraq. He wanted a career in the Army. He made it 14 years, and was honerably discharged with an 80% disability rating. Fucking Bush.
So agree! Although we should place firm blame firmly on those who put donald trump in a high office for which he has never been fit, and blame directly on the GOP who have supported the illegal and immoral actions and full mishandling of our beautiful nation!! It’s not America’s fault she’s been pillaged, raped and plundered by bad sick People led by a sycophant.
He is a worthless POS as evidenced by by all of Europe and all the Nato alliances. We are so so sorry to be associated with this asshole.
Please forgive us as we navigate how to deal with his stupidity and separate ourselves from his ignorance. His minions certainly make it more difficult to get beyond his satanic wishes, behavior and his demons that control all of them ..
He knows He is not stupid. So everyone else is stupid. He’s not even good at being a con man. Wonder what group is pouring money into this puppet? I mean WHO has all the money in the world to pour into this soon to be scapegoat?
Are you serious? If you are, please make sure you take your medicines today as something is not well with you at the moment. Inflation under Biden averaged 8%; current inflation is now 3%, just one of many statistics out there.
I never in a million years I could hate someone more than Trump. But that Nazi copy cat tiny man is top of the heap currently. Just gross. I’m forever mad, disgusted, and embarrassed.
It's a common thing for men's height to be rounded way up for the sake of vanity. I have read both that he is 5'7" and that he is 5'4". I believe the latter.
Height is unimportant. Everyone is unique. But Bovino’s soul is twisted; he has no loyalty to the people of the US or to the Constitution. He is criminally negligent and inhumane.
DHS' own “worst of the worst” website indicates only 490 people listed with violent crimes. ICE’s website states there have been 1,141,047 detentions and 527,459 arrests between 2021 and 2025 and DHS has stated that there has been another 10,000 arrested this month. Most, according to their website, are for immigration violations. Almost all immigration violations are legally considered to be misdemeanors.
It is obvious: MOST of the people being detained and deported are not murderers, rapists and child molesters. They are good, hard working people trying to create a better life for their kids. They are our valued co-workers and neighbours. Oh, and most of them just happen to be brown.
Two points: 1] Get rid of the criminals, period. 2]Go to https://www.dhs.gov/wow and see the list of these worst of the worst.
If you are illegally in the US, you have to go; if you are defrauding the US, you have to go.
The majority are brown because they come from Mexico and nations around the world where the majority is brown, and thus reflected in the numbers.
They are NOT our valued co-workers and neighbours; they have stolen American jobs, medical benefits, and services because they are ILLEGAL. I am NOT referring to those who did it legally, they are welcome and are or in the process of being Americans.
DHS *is* deporting people who are in the process of being Americans- the ones you say are welcome. DHS is rounding those folks up even though they have done and are doing everything legally. These people are getting kidnapped at immigration hearings in courts and at DHS offices. This is happening constantly. These people ARE valued co-workers and neighbours, and they are doing everything correctly.
Also, immigrants have never been able to access federally funded medical services aside from emergency treatment at hospitals, who do not make the distinction between human beings in need of emergency care. An immigrant, even one who is here legally, and even one holding a green card, is not permitted to receive federally funded help of any sort (with the exception of servicemen and women who may be immigrants but are covered because of being in the armed services). These people are not stealing anything!
Trump is NOW insulting and ridiculing our ALLIES and the people in those countries who FOUGHT and DIED supporting us..... ANOTHER example of what a DISGUSTING human being he is. He is sawing off the limb of support of our allies support every single day. And if THAT is not bad enough NOW he and Kristi and Greg are Kidnapping Children as young as 2, just before it was 5 years old, THIS in addition to FLASH BANGING and TEAR GASSING CHILDREN and BABIES and KILLING people. And the ICE agent bragging about someone being a Domestic Terrorist for LEGALLY filming them, better pay attention because HE and his buddies are going to be in court very very soon when all this comes to an end and HE and they will NOT escape their accountability! He can hide behind his mask but that is not going to protect him. And NEVER forget that Trump and his Criminal DOJ have STILL not released the Epstein Files!!!!!!!!
Can those kidnappers who are holding offices or appointments being impeached or removed immediately? They have no right to take children. They have no right to do some other things they were doing either, but particularly taking children is an immediate concern that deserves an immediate action thoroughly. All of the wrongs deserve immediate action for that matter, and thoroughly!
I just don't know how much more it's going to take for Americans to say "get rid of Trump & Co." If a sweet 5 year old in a bunny hat didn't do it, a 2 year old girl in a pink furry jacket smiling into the camera?
The irony? Both of these children looked white to me. If they're after brown people, they are out of their lane, even though they shouldn't be doing any of it. That sheriff in Maine was right: totally bush league.
We have to remember that these creeps have caught the Trump virus. Trump doesn't know how to back down. He just pounds harder, even if it's self-destructive as hell. ICE is showing the same pathology. Kristi Noem Syndrome.
The ICE agent who shot an unarmed man for not “being white”, must be arrested and charged with murder.
As Trump’s administration is complicit in this murder, they should be removed from office and further investigated to determine what their their real goal may be.
It seems that their motivation is a power grab to keep their “puppet king” in office and thereby keep on “milking” the public purse indefinitely.
It’s not dementia that leads him to say disrespectful things about allies and soldiers. He doesn’t value allies, doesn’t see any soldiers as his equals, and he never did.
OMG!!! Seriously? He is the most insulting, exasperating man, EVER!! I apologize UK. You have always been there for us. I cannot apologize enough to those beautiful families who lost a loved one . I would hug everyone one of you. I just want him gone already. 😪😪😪
Here's my question - DHS say that these very young children were deported with their fathers. However, how does anyone know if the children aren't separated from their fathers as soon as they get there? They lie continually and there is ZERO transparency with these centers.
I have been a pediatric NP for 20 years and I cannot begin to express the distress I feel as this administration continues to undermine public health. Nobody has ever forced any person in this country to get a vaccine. The pediatric vaccine schedule represents the best practices based on years of evidence based research and medicine to keep our children and adults from dying or becoming disabled from preventable disease. Because these people are too dumb, too blind, or they have massive personality disorders, they don’t see the big picture and they are setting us back decades. Completely inconsiderate of babies, the elderly, and those who may be immune compromised for a myriad of reasons.
These morons are skipping the Polio and Measles vaccinations. They ought to be locked up for child abuse. Of course, they are so ignorant they believe whatever the internet has been saying about vaccines.
Maybe the people saying these things are too young to have had family members and people they went to school with die from polio, to be aware of the recent deaths from measles and the severity of them, and maybe they themselves did not suffer from measles, mumps, chickenpox, and debilitating disease diseases. Even so, we need some medical protection.
You are very sweet! I don't believe that they are anti-vaxx because they lack the experience of these diseases. They lump all this sort of thing into the "guvmnt trying to fool them." If they had any imagination at all, they could imagine a child of theirs suffering from measles or polio, and that they would do anything to help that child.
I think it is time for the mean old guvmnt to force them to vaccinate their children, to protect them and the rest of us. As it already does, for new recruits to the military. Can you imagine deploying troops who can pass measles around? Or suddenly having polio?
Very well said. An extremely disturbing turn of events. And such ignorance about how immunization actually works. Lots of people will die and/or become disabled.
How effing embarrassing to be an American now on the world stage. But we are rising up at home!
Nah, that's not "our" government, that's "the" government. They do not represent me, and you shouldn't give them the indulgance of representing you either, Mike.
Red white and blue is much bigger, goes much deeper, and is far more meaningful than any paticular president, congress, senate, judiciary, or ephemeral policy.
We walked for an hour in sub zero temperatures in Minneapolis during the march. It was inspirational and moving. So many people came out, all different ages. So glad to have taken part.
Michelle: my hat is off to you
Thank you so much. That means a lot to us. 💜
You are the heroes that we'll remember! Cannot thank you enough for keeping the flame.
Wow. Thank you. What an inspirational comment. We need to stick together and stick up for each other. 💜
I'll say.
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING
I SALUTE YOU
Aw. I love these positive comments. Warms my heart. Thank you.
You deserve more than my compliments!
National Wisconsin Day of Heroes.
Thank you. 🙏 It was great to march today.
It's warming to see this, but we need much more.
Great job Michelle-so proud of you! (Toronto)
Aw. Thank you so much.
Chgo loves you guys and we are with you. We just had a Governor that out maneuvered Trump. That's why he said he should be in jail.
Agree. :) Thank you!
Good for you! My hope and prayer is that this will spread nationwide. And soon.
Thank you so much. I'm hoping that the world sees that Minnesota is standing up to the bullies.
We see you!
Thank you!! That means a lot.
Thank you from "Red" Missouri.
I live in an area of St. Louis County that is home to hundreds of South Asians. I am hoping nothing will happen here.
I thank my fellow citizens for standing up to this insanity.
Thank you. ❤️
Proud that so many Minnesotans are stepping up and out together to show the country and the rest of the world that we have open-hearted Americans — Thank you!
Yes!! We feel so supported on Substack. Thank you!
Thank you for standing up for all of us. I see and appreciate you in Seattle.
Thank you so much. 🙏
Thank you for standing up peacefully.
It was such a moving experience. There were soooooo many people. The chanting was also electric. We loved being there even though it was freezing.
I would stand with you if I could. We are so proud of all of you!
Thank you. Brings tears to my eyes knowing how many of you support us here.
I live in a red state so they will bow to ice. I just hurt for you all. It is horrible to watch how violent they are😢
Thank you... We are hurting too, as we hear more stories from the people here.
Bless you! Two year olds? Now they're taking TWO year olds and claiming they're "pro life" because they worship "babies"? Fuck that. Every child they take is a life destroyed by trauma. I've been having dreams about these thugs getting a taste of their own treatment.
This ol’ gal wishes she could be there next to you. The trouble is, I can't stand/walk for an hour, and I'm in Missouri. But my heart is with you all.
Thank you. We marched for everyone today, not only those in Minnesota. We are all in this together.
That is amazing. You have more guts to brave the sub-zero weather than I would have. Then again, it's ill-advised for the elderly. Heartening to see so many people out there in solidarity.
We marched with you in spirit. Those near and far were in our hearts today, and you all were with us.
Thank you and the people of Minnesota. You're showing the rest of the country and the world how to stand up to tyranny.
Thank you - we feel seen here.
Hopefully this will ignite a nationwide strike and show up and fight!! God Bless Minnesota
We would LOVE that!!!!
Thank you!
Sending ❤️ in support and solidarity for peace
Thank you, means a lot.
What a huge embarrassment he is to everyone in America.
and in the Universe!! Biggest embarrassment in all of history and since the beginning of time! (that would flatter him)
Not just to everyone in America, he is an embarrassment to everyone worldwide. Heck, he's such an embarrassment even planets in the universe are blushing.
Yes! :)
He is so pathetically delusional that he doesn’t even realize how the major leaders of the world see him!
He is so stuck in his sick mind
,
I think Trump is trying to gift Europe to Russia that is why it is this way. Like he backed away from the Ukraine. Letting Russia use the Ukraine as a stepping stone into the rest of Europe. Will he gift Taiwan to China. This is certainly taking heat off of the EPSTEIN FILES. Go Minnesota go. He is only being heavy on Democratic states. Maybe you can publish the Democrats that voted to fund ICE. Are they in Republican states? Remember Rene Good.
That is the plan-
President Epsstein rules over the entire west hemisphere
Putin over Europe
Xi over Asia
I belueve William Sascha Riley who has named trump as appearing to be the leader of their child sexual abuse ring. Also named as being at at least one party are Jim Jordan, Clarence Thomas, Lindsay Graham and Briggs. None of them are suing victims that name them likely due to discovery.
100%
Sounds like that is their plan.
Trump is Putin’s poodle.
The reps who crossed and voted to fund ICE 10 BILLION MORE DOLLARS are: Henry Cueller (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Perez (Washington), Laura Gillen (NY), Don Davis (NC-My state and I’ve already been lighting his socials and office UP), Tom Suozzi (NY), and Vincent Gonzalez (TX).
Every single one needs to be voted out. No more cushy job with phenomenal healthcare benefits and dirty lobbyist money. They are doing the OPPOSITE of representing their constituents, so they need to go. Same goes for every Dem who voted against impeaching Trump both times last year, and the traitors who caved during the shutdown and allowed affordable healthcare to vanish. TIME TO GO.
Thank you I will start flooding Laura GILLEN from New York.
He's not that smart. His ONLY goal is to line his own pockets and stroke his own ego.
True, but also - see our new National Security strategy that proposes the spheres of influence.
And stay out of jail
And Putin made a deal with Trump and “gave” him Venezuela as long as Trump doesn’t interfere and takes his (Putin) side against Ukraine.
Thank you! I remind myself every day that Hawley in not my Senator. Trump is not my president. I am adopting Canada's PM.
Me too!
Greg Bovinon is lying.
The person in an SS uniform, he would like to behave as one
Beware
He truly looks like an SS Storm Trooper. That is what he emulates.
Cosplaying a-hole in a Matrix overcoat.
It would be funny, if it were in the theater.
But this is real life, therefore quite sad
It’s intentional. He’s actively cosplaying Hitler and the SS. They show us who they really are every single day
I came up with a German style acronym that is pronounced as "ice" as in EISS which stands for Entfuhrung Intern Schutzstaffel which means Abduction Internal Secret Police (had to get the meaning of SS in there). Eiss is actually the German word for "pus". That agency is a pus on humanity.
Diane that is PERFECT. Absolutely PERFECT
Agree. Being free is part of our identity and why we’re standing up for each other. My daughter said she wants to be like Martin Luther King Junior and help people go to school. She’s very young so she doesn’t know about the current state of our country. I was so proud of her. She learned about him in school.
It's not MY government. I haven't felt this disconnected from it since I repudiated it in the Reagan era.
That's exactly what I did. I was against everything that had anything to do with Ronny and Nancy Reagan and now against trump and his regime. They do not represent me. What an embarrassment. He is not my president. I stand with the Europeans.. against trump.
Say what you will about Reagan, Deb, but I would take him back in a heartbeat if he were available instead of Trump. Reagan did bring down the Berlin Wall and convinced Gorbachev to dissolve the Soviet Union, all of which Putin, with Trump's acquiesence, is now trying to reassemble. Given what we're going through now with Trump, the Reagan years were years of wine and roses. Respectfully, Nick G.
How dare him!!! Mr. Bone Spurs! What an f-ing coward!!
Trump is an ignorant, stupid man
This is an inspiring perspective. But this also means the US government is no longer of, by, and for the people. Or, it is, and we have a major problem that will repeat and get worse when this administration and Congress is gone. We have a lot of work to do.
You are correct, it is no longer for us. We are in a full-blown facist dictatorship. Complete with SS, Gestapo, and internment camps. We’re not trying to prevent it, we are deeply and fully enmeshed in one already, one year later. If Trump rigs Midterms, or declares a war to suspend elections, we are deeply and utterly fucked. For decades to come.
We have to go on offense. He WILL mess with the midterms. Whether trying to cancel them or seizing ballot boxes or demanding vote counts stop, he will do it. At minimum, contact your local and state reps, tell them this, and ask them their plan to counter. Contact Republican secretaries of state, attorney generals, and governors.
I have two questions I’m respectfully demanding they answer: how will you stop or bring ICE to account - and how are planning NOW to counter election meddling?
AGREE COMPLETELY
I agree 100%! trump is such an embarrassment and I feel like every time he opens his mouth, he talks like he's speaking for all of us. But I want it known that trump has never and will never speak for me. Ugh I can't stand him or any of the sycophants who are with him.
Doesn't work that way, dude.
Every time that Evil Imbecile opens his mouth he is speaking for you, that's his job, and you have just disrespected All of your allies.
I did not vote for trump in 2016, 2020, or in 2024. He does not speak for me. I speak for myself.
Stunningly wrong. Dude. 🙄 WE have done no such thing. The intelligent world sees us marching and sees us being assaulted and kidnapped and murdered by his Gestapo, simply for existing. And they know he is not our President and does not speak for US. Trump has always been and will only ever be for HIMSELF. Period. Fuck right off trying to provoke and shame people in here. Dude.
I'm not sure what you're saying but trump does not speak for me. I am against this entire admin. They're evil and I am against them.
What I mean is that when your president is speaking on an international level :
When he is threatening other countries with ever changing tariffs
+
When he insults your longtime allies by trying to rewrite history and he belittles their contributions and sacrifice of soldiers on the battlefield (soldiers that came to your aide when asked)
+
When he invades a sovereign countriy and continues to threaten to invade other sovereign countries so that he can just steal whatever he wants …etc…etc…he is speaking for the American People.
His voice is yours no matter who you voted for.
Oh, and the rest of the world no longer trusts you.
Let's not forget, over 165M Americans did not vote for Donald Trump…
Approximately 90M Americans didn't vote at all and over 75M voted for Kamala in a rather rushed and skewed election.
It was rushed. And it was skewed, but only because too many US voters chose to believe the lies/propaganda about Harris. Dems still act like she was not a good candidate, which means that the repub/Russian propaganda worked even on non-repubs.
It's heartbreaking, especially since her policies would have helped the working and middle classes, small business owners, children, students, etc. and would have grown the already strong economy. It's also infuriating because she has been completely right about everything trump would do if elected.
I voted for Kamala. I was proud to do so. Those who did not bother to vote should feel so ashamed! We would not have all of this suffering if Kamala had become our president. It will take decades to restore our country to what it was before trump. President Biden did a great job of bringing us out of the COVID pandemic and getting people back to work. Our economy under President Biden was the envy of the Free World. Look at us now! I am ashamed to be an American.
Same, same, same... I also felt such happiness and pride voting for Harris! I know our country is as misogynistic as it is racist (which is saying a great deal), but I had hope against hope that she would win. It felt possible... now things just keep getting more and more dreadful.
After seeing the huge crowds at her rallies it was hard to believe that did translate into vitres
Oh it did translate. She won. But Elon and his best hacker, Ethan Shaotran, hacked voting machine code, which is how Trump won EVERY swing state. To make a lie work, it has to be believable, and they did not do that. They swung for the fences.
I hope we eventually learn whether or not the 2024 election was fraudulent. I thought she had the numbers and the momentum.
Me too. So horrible what's happening now.
I had a Kamala yard sign. It was pulled out twice, I live in a red neighborhood. I just replaced them
The so-called "mainstream" media kept people uninformed, fed them lies, claimed Harris had no "message" which she did but they refused to amplify it, demanding instead she respond to some thing that Trump had said. Yes, blaming it on her quality as a candidate was false, same thing they did with Hillary (who WON the popular vote) because if a woman isn't perfect she's no good.
I also blame Democrats and people on the left, all too eager to swallow the whole thing about her not being perfect and failing to vote to "teach Democrats a lesson," often over a fake issue like Paaaaaalestiiiiine. Were any of those "pro-Palestine" "activists" paying attention in 2024 when Jared Kushner promised to do in Gaza exactly what he presented this week in Davos with pretty pictures of giant gold buildings and the promise that some Palestinians could be slave labor, the way they are in places like Dubai and Doha? Their ignorance disgraces their alleged cause.
America had a clear moral choice in 2024, and enough chose the immoral white man because they just couldn't bear the thought of another black person, and a woman, even worse to be President. And many immigrant communities are racist and/or sexist. So they believed him when Trump said he only meant criminals. Such fools, and many are paying for their folly with their lives...dead, incarcerated without counsel, or deported.
Every progressive I’ve talked to says that they, like myself, voted democrat against Trump. The only exceptions appear to have been progressive Arab Americans who warned Kamala they would skip voting if she didn’t halt her pandering to Israel. Not fixing that was her fatal mistake.
No, it wasn't. This so-called "fix" would've lost her the election even bigger. She couldn't cave to the demand to abandon Israel without losing progressive Jews — a massively larger Democratic base group than progressive Arab Americans. She made the right choice — and so many of the so-called "pro-Palestinians" were just trendy cause jumpers looking for an excuse. Jews are one of the Democrats most faithful voter bases.
Then there's a situation like my congresswoman's. She is one of the most progressive congresspeople. She is not only on fire about ICE and murders in Minneapolis, but she's a great multitasker — in the last week she's taken on the anniversary of Roe and the shabby anti-woman tactics of the GOP and demanded the release of the Epstein files. But she got shit in her campaign from people who thought she was too cozy with Israel. Big problem: the district has about 4000 Palestinians — but it has 12,000 Orthodox Jews. (Overall nearly 100,000 Jews compared to 35,000 Arabs). You can't demand total capitulation to please the smaller side. The whole Israel/Palestine situation is way too complex anyway, and deeply misunderstood by most who haven't been into it for a while i.e. before October 7, 2023.
EVERYTHING you wrote!! 100%!
And also help Ukraine
Elon and his award-winning hacker Ethan Shaotran tampered with voting machine code, which is how Trump magically won EVERY swing state by a landslide. And he can’t not brag, even of his own cheating, and said multiple times, afterwards on camera, that without Elon he never would have won. That’s EXACTLY what he was referring to. Without Elon helping him cheat, he would not be President right now, and we would not be in the middle of this brutality-drenched facist hellscape fever dream. Lie cheat and steal, then project and deflect. That is the Trump TM way.
No, they didn't. There's no "voting machine code" accessible to be tampered with; that's not how voting systems work (I've worked on four different ones.) This is pure conspiracy fiction and need to stop it. Trump won. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow, but he did. Any "rigging" was on the front end: voter suppression. The media's hostility to Harris' campaign, refusal to amplify her messages, its concealing of Trump's floundering, and the idiotic attitude of the so-called "pro-Palestinians" who didn't vote to "teach Democrats a lesson" were responsible. There's no credible evidence of machine hacking anywhere in the U.S.in any election.
Jesus would have done what Don Lemon did. We should keep protesting in the streets and churches against Christofascism. I wrote a poem for Don as a tribute to his bravery: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/don-lemon-poem
You bet He would!!
the FACE ACT actually requires that any violence or disruption be "because of" the religion practiced in the church--to actually interfere with the worship because that is what is being protested. Under analogies with other statutes, the MOTIVE has to be interfering with the worship.
That's not what these protests were about. Not clear what other Federal laws apply. This appears to be the first time a DOJ has tried to prosecute the "church" part of the statute; thus there appears to be no case law.
Yes Trumps such a negative influence on the United States
The world
Unreal … every time I hear Trump and his beyond criminal, stupid,duplicitous and insane cabal, all I want to do is scream SHUTUP, SHUTUP, SHUTUP! STFU!!!!
So do I! I no longer watch television because I would be screaming at the television all of the time! trump is the most disgusting human on the face of the earth!
I can’t stand to watch Trump or hear his voice.
Honestly! Complete embarrassment. NOT the first time this has happened to me. First time I visited Argentina was right after 9-11 & Bush was threatening war in Iraq. Each person around the lunch table asked me “Do you LIKE Bush?” Every person there asked me individually! I answered every person, “No.” I didn’t tell them the fucking Patriot Act and how intense boarding an airplane in the US, how long it look. So when I was leaving Buenos Aires, they didn’t believe me when I told them how EARLY I had to get there. SO I missed the flight & had to stay another full 24+ hours. Which I didn’t really mind! Traveling for even harder from US airports then soon international flights TO the US.
I vividly remember when Bush announced we were going to war in Iraq. My oldest son was in boot camp and I had been paying very close attention to the news coming out of other countries regarding Iraq and their nuclear program. Even back then I didn't trust our media. The UN inspectors had said Iraq was in compliance and had no WMD. I'm usually a very calm person. I had to be as a Firefighter/EMT/Nurse (plus I just am), but I was screaming at the TV, calling Bush all sorts of bad names, some I didn't even know I knew. I'm pretty sure I spent bit of time beating up my bed. My son had 3 long deployments to Iraq. He wanted a career in the Army. He made it 14 years, and was honerably discharged with an 80% disability rating. Fucking Bush.
So agree! Although we should place firm blame firmly on those who put donald trump in a high office for which he has never been fit, and blame directly on the GOP who have supported the illegal and immoral actions and full mishandling of our beautiful nation!! It’s not America’s fault she’s been pillaged, raped and plundered by bad sick People led by a sycophant.
And SCOTUS gave him complete immunity. I wonder if they even have any regrets.
Did Trump really just use the word “we” when talking about our military??? Hey draft dodger, not your lane. Get out!! FFS read the room…. 🤦♀️
Amen Mike!!
Embarrassed and ashamed
My thinking as well. Rising steadily, consistently, permanently.
Mr. Bone Spurs is accusing someone else of not fighting in the war? That’s rich.
Isn’t it?!?!? Ha ha 🤣
Yup! Couldn't tell the difference between a tank and a Hummer, even with his advanced grade 3 education!!
That's how "stable geniuses" roll......
.....right over people, places, and things......like the Constitution. (And he worries if he'll get into Heaven???? Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Yes, that is a funny one!
Yeah, he’ll be in Dante’s lowest level of hell: treachery - frozen in ice. That will be his Greenland!
Don’t forget he aces every test he’s given.
It is the utmost RICH.
Shameless draft dodger
He is a worthless POS as evidenced by by all of Europe and all the Nato alliances. We are so so sorry to be associated with this asshole.
Please forgive us as we navigate how to deal with his stupidity and separate ourselves from his ignorance. His minions certainly make it more difficult to get beyond his satanic wishes, behavior and his demons that control all of them ..
I think the world is getting it now. I hope so!
I know!!! So critical of something he never had the courage to do.
He knows He is not stupid. So everyone else is stupid. He’s not even good at being a con man. Wonder what group is pouring money into this puppet? I mean WHO has all the money in the world to pour into this soon to be scapegoat?
He is sick in many ways. I wish the Republicans would wake up. They live in the country the orange menace is destroying.
IMPEACH REMOVE CONVICT INCARCERATE
Then INCINERATE
And CASTRATE
That's before INCINERATE
Are you threatening the life of the President? Last time I checked, that is a federal crime.
True. And in tRump's tiny 'shroom 🍄 case it would take no time at all.
Does it go with his tiny hands and fingers ?
Ha ha, they're a fairly close match but his tiny hands and fingers are bigger. Much, much, MUCH bigger.
YES !! All of them
Then put his ashes into one of Elon's rockets and send it off into space.
Are you threatening the life of the President? Last time I checked, that is a federal crime.
Absolutely not! The refers to the disposition of Trump's remains after he dies.
Haha....good one
Hahaha
Are you threatening the life of the President? Last time I checked, that is a federal crime.
This whole regime!!
Firing squad
Too late, Joe's gone!
President Biden was one of our best presidents
Are you serious? If you are, please make sure you take your medicines today as something is not well with you at the moment. Inflation under Biden averaged 8%; current inflation is now 3%, just one of many statistics out there.
I never in a million years I could hate someone more than Trump. But that Nazi copy cat tiny man is top of the heap currently. Just gross. I’m forever mad, disgusted, and embarrassed.
Tiny is right. Apparently Bovino is 5'7'', however, I prefer when people refer to him as "our four foot tall friend Gregory Bovino."
There is no way he is 5 foot 7! Unless he is always surrounded by agents who are 6 foot 6.
It's a common thing for men's height to be rounded way up for the sake of vanity. I have read both that he is 5'7" and that he is 5'4". I believe the latter.
And Stephen Miller is....what? 3'10", is my estimate of the miniNazi....
A miniNazi body...but a maxiNazi soul
Absolutely!! Even his family can't stand him!
I am a huge PeeWee Herman fan, but the actor could always take a joke about himself, so I will invoke the most popular nickname:
S Miller = PeeWee German.
Well, I Googled it! Maybe he IS closer to 4 feet.
If he's five seven, I'm Julia Roberts.
Sorry Tiny man Sad Sack.
Yet here you are talking about it, now that's sad!
Height is unimportant. Everyone is unique. But Bovino’s soul is twisted; he has no loyalty to the people of the US or to the Constitution. He is criminally negligent and inhumane.
As he removes murderers, rapists, and child molesters. Sad man, why wouldn't you want these people living next door to you?
DHS' own “worst of the worst” website indicates only 490 people listed with violent crimes. ICE’s website states there have been 1,141,047 detentions and 527,459 arrests between 2021 and 2025 and DHS has stated that there has been another 10,000 arrested this month. Most, according to their website, are for immigration violations. Almost all immigration violations are legally considered to be misdemeanors.
It is obvious: MOST of the people being detained and deported are not murderers, rapists and child molesters. They are good, hard working people trying to create a better life for their kids. They are our valued co-workers and neighbours. Oh, and most of them just happen to be brown.
Two points: 1] Get rid of the criminals, period. 2]Go to https://www.dhs.gov/wow and see the list of these worst of the worst.
If you are illegally in the US, you have to go; if you are defrauding the US, you have to go.
The majority are brown because they come from Mexico and nations around the world where the majority is brown, and thus reflected in the numbers.
They are NOT our valued co-workers and neighbours; they have stolen American jobs, medical benefits, and services because they are ILLEGAL. I am NOT referring to those who did it legally, they are welcome and are or in the process of being Americans.
DHS *is* deporting people who are in the process of being Americans- the ones you say are welcome. DHS is rounding those folks up even though they have done and are doing everything legally. These people are getting kidnapped at immigration hearings in courts and at DHS offices. This is happening constantly. These people ARE valued co-workers and neighbours, and they are doing everything correctly.
Also, immigrants have never been able to access federally funded medical services aside from emergency treatment at hospitals, who do not make the distinction between human beings in need of emergency care. An immigrant, even one who is here legally, and even one holding a green card, is not permitted to receive federally funded help of any sort (with the exception of servicemen and women who may be immigrants but are covered because of being in the armed services). These people are not stealing anything!
So glad you turned up, Sad Sack, so I can block you.
Micey mike ,Miller JD Mario Cruz,basset, noem ,karoline,bundi they all are in first place
Exactly!!!!
How funny he says when he retires he is going back to raising apples. That will be difficult to do from prison.
Life must be really sad and lonely for you.
I believe he LOVES negative attention.
I deleted TikTok when I opened it and got the alert about the new geolocation tracking that can’t be turned off.
That will get used against people at some point.
I’m glad I never opened a TikTok account.
The Ellisons play dirty.
Larry is a Netanyahu lover
I never had TickTok and I'm glad I never did. They already listen and track us through phones TVs watches and Alexa type devices
Oh, I see now why this whole Tik-Tok business happened. Very scary. I will make sure anyone who is on Tik Tok knows this.
I deleted TT immediately this morning. I couldn't agree to their new TOS and especially their new privacy policy.
We are an embarrassment on the world stage. I'm so proud of so many people and our youth. Look what we are doing to fight back.
Yep, they are voting for Trump in record numbers. Fight back, people!
HE HAS TO GO
Please
yeah ask the families of the Canadians who were killed by the Americans in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan. fucking trigger happy idiots
Yup!!
I am disgusted with my race and horrified by my government.
Fuck white supremacy
Fuck ice
All the power to the people
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Trump is NOW insulting and ridiculing our ALLIES and the people in those countries who FOUGHT and DIED supporting us..... ANOTHER example of what a DISGUSTING human being he is. He is sawing off the limb of support of our allies support every single day. And if THAT is not bad enough NOW he and Kristi and Greg are Kidnapping Children as young as 2, just before it was 5 years old, THIS in addition to FLASH BANGING and TEAR GASSING CHILDREN and BABIES and KILLING people. And the ICE agent bragging about someone being a Domestic Terrorist for LEGALLY filming them, better pay attention because HE and his buddies are going to be in court very very soon when all this comes to an end and HE and they will NOT escape their accountability! He can hide behind his mask but that is not going to protect him. And NEVER forget that Trump and his Criminal DOJ have STILL not released the Epstein Files!!!!!!!!
Can those kidnappers who are holding offices or appointments being impeached or removed immediately? They have no right to take children. They have no right to do some other things they were doing either, but particularly taking children is an immediate concern that deserves an immediate action thoroughly. All of the wrongs deserve immediate action for that matter, and thoroughly!
I just don't know how much more it's going to take for Americans to say "get rid of Trump & Co." If a sweet 5 year old in a bunny hat didn't do it, a 2 year old girl in a pink furry jacket smiling into the camera?
The irony? Both of these children looked white to me. If they're after brown people, they are out of their lane, even though they shouldn't be doing any of it. That sheriff in Maine was right: totally bush league.
We have to remember that these creeps have caught the Trump virus. Trump doesn't know how to back down. He just pounds harder, even if it's self-destructive as hell. ICE is showing the same pathology. Kristi Noem Syndrome.
That girl is going down.
The ICE agent who shot an unarmed man for not “being white”, must be arrested and charged with murder.
As Trump’s administration is complicit in this murder, they should be removed from office and further investigated to determine what their their real goal may be.
It seems that their motivation is a power grab to keep their “puppet king” in office and thereby keep on “milking” the public purse indefinitely.
I made it, I was in the protest video, AWESOME
Wow, you are INDEED AWESOME
Hopefully you were there as a protest against this governments actions, rather than to simply be seen!
Why doesn't anyone try and stop trump from speaking? His dementia is showing and someone needs to shut him up.
It’s not dementia that leads him to say disrespectful things about allies and soldiers. He doesn’t value allies, doesn’t see any soldiers as his equals, and he never did.
OMG!!! Seriously? He is the most insulting, exasperating man, EVER!! I apologize UK. You have always been there for us. I cannot apologize enough to those beautiful families who lost a loved one . I would hug everyone one of you. I just want him gone already. 😪😪😪
Absolutely, and I know people among the ones they lost while helping us!
He believes only the USA won World War II. Also World War I.
He knows nothing about American history. Only that he wants to erase the huge stain of slavery to make America look better.
HE is the stain that will never be erased.
Maybe if he injects some bleach the stain will go away.
Haha good one! 🤣 *remembering his idiotic advice to the public to drink bleach to get rid of Covid during psndemic*
To erase that stain he’s adding kidnapping and murder? How do his actions erase ANYTHING? Didn’t slavery also include those offenses?
Just the white people, whom he tries to elevate
Here's my question - DHS say that these very young children were deported with their fathers. However, how does anyone know if the children aren't separated from their fathers as soon as they get there? They lie continually and there is ZERO transparency with these centers.
I wouldn’t be surprised
I have been a pediatric NP for 20 years and I cannot begin to express the distress I feel as this administration continues to undermine public health. Nobody has ever forced any person in this country to get a vaccine. The pediatric vaccine schedule represents the best practices based on years of evidence based research and medicine to keep our children and adults from dying or becoming disabled from preventable disease. Because these people are too dumb, too blind, or they have massive personality disorders, they don’t see the big picture and they are setting us back decades. Completely inconsiderate of babies, the elderly, and those who may be immune compromised for a myriad of reasons.
These morons are skipping the Polio and Measles vaccinations. They ought to be locked up for child abuse. Of course, they are so ignorant they believe whatever the internet has been saying about vaccines.
Maybe the people saying these things are too young to have had family members and people they went to school with die from polio, to be aware of the recent deaths from measles and the severity of them, and maybe they themselves did not suffer from measles, mumps, chickenpox, and debilitating disease diseases. Even so, we need some medical protection.
You are very sweet! I don't believe that they are anti-vaxx because they lack the experience of these diseases. They lump all this sort of thing into the "guvmnt trying to fool them." If they had any imagination at all, they could imagine a child of theirs suffering from measles or polio, and that they would do anything to help that child.
I think it is time for the mean old guvmnt to force them to vaccinate their children, to protect them and the rest of us. As it already does, for new recruits to the military. Can you imagine deploying troops who can pass measles around? Or suddenly having polio?
Or if that ignorant Dr. had read history! Anyone can read history. I wonder too if they believe it is a cost-saving measure.
And we have already experienced measles outbreaks bc of this lax vaccine protocol. 😖
Very well said. An extremely disturbing turn of events. And such ignorance about how immunization actually works. Lots of people will die and/or become disabled.
Measles causes blindness or/and deafness if they recover.
And it cancels all your immunities -- you have to be re-immunized to have protection.
