Today Trump called a female reporter a stupid person.
Yesterday he called a female reporter ugly on the outside and the inside.
Last week he called a female reporter piggy.
This is unacceptable behavior.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE EXCEPT THE SERIOUSLY DEMENTED PIGGIE WHO TURNED THE OVAL OFFICE INTO A REVOLVING DOOR FOR “GRIFTERS & CROOKS,” A TRUE DISCOUNT BIN ADMINISTRATION, DIVIDING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WHILE SHREDDING THE CONSTITUTION IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. THIS CLOWN SLAPPED TARIFFS (A TAX!!!) ON THE WORKING MAN & THE WORKING WOMAN, COZIED UP TO DICTATORS LIKE THEY WERE PART OF HIS MAR-A-LAGO REWARDS PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP, AND SOMEHOW MADE AMERICA WEAK AND MORE IN DEBT. SICK! HE AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY ARE A WELFARE FAMILY FOR FOREIGN GRIFT, CRYPTO SCAMS, TAX BREAKS (YOUR MONEY!), AND GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS. THEY ARE LITTLE PIGLETS SUCKING ON THE PUBLIC TROUGH, MILKING WORKING PEOPLE (YOU!) FOR EVERY PENNY. AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON HIS DIMWIT AVENGERS, INCLUDING KASH “MONEY” PATEL, DUMB DUMB PETE, KOSPLAY KRISTI (THE FAKE HORSE RIDER WHO MANY SAY SENT $200 MILLION TAX DOLLARS TO HER FRIENDS), AND THE WHOLE GANG OF DOZY DON’S SICKOS COVERING UP FOR CREEPS LIKE EPSTEIN. WE CAN’T EVEN USE THE 25TH AMENDMENT BECAUSE JD “JUST DANCE” VANCE IS TOO BUSY WITH “THE COUCH” AND WOULD PROBABLY BE WORSE. DON’T WORRY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE CALIFORNIA, UNDER THE GREAT GAVIN C. NEWSOM (ME!!) WILL RESCUE AMERICA FROM THIS SICK, SICK SCUM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN
Cataclysmic global warming is accelerating and will keep getting worse according to scientists with something like 2.5-4°C baked in and very likely by 2050-2070 or soon after. Abrupt changes in the capitalist era mean 30-70% of species will likely suffer extinction. Rethink. 🧵
🔥LARSEN, JAYAPAL, DELBENE, STRICKLAND, RANDALL, SMITH AND SCHRIER DEMAND ANSWERS FROM ICE ON BELLINGHAM RAID
@RepRickLarsen (WA-02), along with @RepJayapal (WA-07), @RepDelBene (WA-01), @RepStricklandWA (WA-10), @RepEmilyRandall (WA-06), Rep. @RepAdamSmith (WA-09) and @RepKimSchrier (WA-08) have sent the following letter to ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons and DHS @Sec_Noem :
Dear Secretary Noem and Acting Director Lyons:
We write to express our deep concerns over the recent actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across Washington State. We are especially alarmed at the recent ICE raid that took place in Bellingham, Washington. Raids like this have devastating consequences for our communities.
On Wednesday in Bellingham, ICE officers entered a workplace, pointed guns at employees, and took away 37 community members in unmarked vans. For months, the Trump administration has insisted that their deportation efforts are focused on “the worst of the worst” and true public safety threats. In reality, there is no indication that the people detained this week are anything other than dedicated parents working hard to support their families and positive contributors to their communities.
Because of this raid and other detainments across the country, the fear of being taken away at gunpoint in unmarked vans is becoming widespread. This fear leaves students and employees scared to go to class and to go to work. It cripples our small businesses and local economies. And critically, it makes it more difficult for state and local law enforcement to build and maintain trust with the communities they serve. ICE actions like the raid that took place in Bellingham are making our communities less safe.
Every individual detained has a right to due process, including the right to speak to an attorney. We will be closely monitoring these cases to ensure that ICE is following the law.
To that end, we request that you immediately provide the following information:
1. Details on individuals ICE encountered during the enforcement action, including the number of people who were taken into custody, broken down by gender, age, nationality, immigration status, and rationale for targeting them in a raid.
2. Information on how many of those arrested had previously received a stay of removal, order of supervision or other form of prosecutorial discretion pursuant to prosecutorial discretion guidelines in place prior to January 2017.
3. Information on how many of those arrested have pending asylum claims.
4. The manner in which ICE may or may not have collaborated with state and local law enforcement agencies.
This is sickeningly chilling:
Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was marked by a systematic campaign to dismantle democratic institutions, suppress dissent, and undermined democratic elections, while dehumanizing minority groups.
Shortly after taking power in 1933, Hitler’s regime began reshaping how German history and culture were presented to the public while demanding loyalty instead of institutional allegiance. The Nazis purged museums, universities, libraries, and cultural institutions of anything that contradicted their ideology. School curricula and museum exhibits were rewritten to glorify the Aryan race and erase Germany’s responsibility for World War I. Any content deemed "degenerate" or "un-German" was removed.
Hitler then undermined judicial independence by pressuring judges to conform to Nazi ideology and calling for the expulsion of those judges who did not. Hitler and his propaganda machine frequently claimed that protesters and political opponents were not genuine, but rather paid agitators working for foreign interests—especially Communists and Jews. This narrative helped justify violent crackdowns and mass arrests.
His regime also crushed independent journalism, replacing it with tightly controlled propaganda that manipulated public opinion. Hitler sent thousands of people who were perceived threats to concentration camps without trials or due process.
Most significantly, he cast aside the constitutional limits of the Weimar Republic, which destroyed any remaining constitutional limits on his rule.
🇨🇦🧵1/ Something big just happened.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney cut off economic and security ties with Trump’s America—no warning, no negotiation. Just a clear message: Canada won’t be part of MAGA’s world.
Hey @elonmusk - well yay on SpaceX mission. Now, why don’t you just leave us Earthlings ALONE. We were (mostly) doing fine until you came in with your S.A. racist, white supremacist, incompetent, dumb as dirt actions. Stick to space, buddy. You clearly know nothing else.
This is Rachel Maddow….
She has been a big voice against TrXmp and his policies. TrXmp now wants her removed. Do YOU support Rachel against him?
YES or NO
