Assessments in indicate that the Americans are preparing for the largest war in the history of the against This war will be very short and very deadly.

I am sure tRump will attack Iran, and the entire western world will stand firmly behind him.

The law of jungle is openly and shamelessly seen daily and nothing going to change it.

CNN video of ICE overtly detaining someone at their own home on their own property specifically because they decided their accent makes them suspicious.

The ICE agent has a similar accent (tho' less of one) which is a terribly great example of something which wouldn't make it past a fiction editor at any level, and also a good example of how non-whites will cooperate with white supremacy thinking that it will protect them.

They are wrong about that, but do not learn that before it is too late.

CNN video as described in video.

Here's a CWed version for the small number of you who prefer those.


Why don't we talk about how one way Trump and the fascist MAGA movement could overturn this year's elections, because I'm quite confident they'll try.

We also talk about how to prep and what to do if they try it, so:

"Repositioning of two Bahrain Royal Flight aircraft from Sheikh Isa Air Base, a host to US Central Command forces, to Awaki Sakhir Air Base, a Bahraini military base with no US presence."

They are leaving American bases in expectation of possible Iranian retaliation against US bases there.

Is Trump really that stupid & desperate to attack Iran now?

We live in a twilight zone.

A convicted felon, living the white house, with deeply rooted connection with a pedophile network just ordered the military of the strongest army in the world to kidnap the elected president of a sovereign country.

And The "world" is kind of silent!

WTAF!

Just finished watching Leeja Miller's latest video on new anti-trans rules in the US 🥺

Leeja referenced a Trans Relocation Guide, so we wanted to share this here for any US folks affected by this :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:

Additionally, in case you're not already aware of it, there's a global, umbrella organisation called ILGA World that we recommend checking out. It's sub-divided into regional network organisations and has over 2000 member organisations.

The regional networks are:

ILGA-Europe produces a yearly Rainbow Map to rank European (and some adjacent) countries by LGBTQIA+ rights and equality.

If you are affected by the recent anti-trans rights actions taken in the US or elsewhere, please, please make a note of the above organisations, as well as the below websites about gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT):

Suffice to say, boosts very much welcome and appreciated :BoostsOKPrideSymbol:

Like preteens making a list of children they think are "dumb", Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is now in charge of updating Trump's list of "stupid" reporters.

Would you believe, they held a meeting and agreed that this was a mature idea?

Trump may only have destroyed The East Wing, but he has demolished all international respect for the entire White House.

A lengthy posting on President Trunp’s primary social account this morning furiously reacts to a NYT story documenting a president showing signs of aging. A co-author of the piece, Katie Rogers, is attacked as “a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/us/politics/trump-age-health.html?unlocked_article_code=1.4E8.pyBu.1tYM3DsO1LTX&smid=nytcore-ios-share

I don't need a band of corrupt Nazi thugs to tell me who's an American or not.

If you live and work here, if you've put your faith in America and tied yourself to our fortunes, you're an American.

Trump is not an American. He works for Putin. He swore an oath to the Constitution and now levies war against Americans.

Trump is a traitor. Immigrants are more American than Trump can ever be.

The FOTUS is a complete twatwaffle. There. I’ve been looking for an excuse to use that word all damn day and by God, there it is! Of course, the young lady’s fellow reporters shoulda stepped in. I would have. I have a … history of doing shit like that when a woman I was deployed to U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay with was once berated in similar fashion by a New York Times reporter. Just not the type of bullshit I’d put up with.

Wait, let me get this straight. The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief wants to sell us on the idea that individual Americans would be able to negotiate for better and more affordable healthcare one-on-one from the “money sucking insurance companies” than the combined bargaining powers of the United States of America?!? Sounds like “Art of the Bait and Switch“ to me.

"I’ll tell you right, as God as my witness, if we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison,” Bannon told the crowd Wednesday at an awards event hosted by the Conservative Partnership Academy."

I disbelieve. But I'm open to being wrong.

Also, fuck you Steve. You deserve a lot worse than prison.

Well, many people associated with the Orange Shit Stain and/or his Administration certainly deserve to go to prison, but I will believe it when it happens!
