This is a government of the absolute worst people.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Finland's Mika Aaltola of the European People's Party claimed that the U.S. "has given us three weeks to agree on terms for Ukraine's surrender," referring to a proposed peace deal aimed at ending the war.
"If we don't, the United States will withdraw from Europe," Aaltola added.
Trump is demanding that Europe hand Ukraine to Russia, or he will hand Europe to Russia. This man is not working for the good of the USA or its traditional allies. He is working against them, destroying Europe, NATO and the USA for the sake of himself, Vladimir Putin and a few Nazi billionaires.
And clearly when he threatens Europe like that they should not for a minute believe that he will not hand them over to Russia if they do what he says. Given that, Europe should tell him to get lost.
And when the police arrived they started questioning him about whether he agreed with Trump on deportations and Gaza. The police questioning people on their political views seems to be becoming standard in the USA.
“Why are they saying you pushed a priest?”
“They were trying to pull me away from the pulpit. I grabbed the pulpit and just held on. I didn’t push anyone. They had four guys grabbing me and dragging me off there.”
“What made you want to preach today?” “I’m worried about human beings, our brothers and sisters who live within our midst and are being targeted by the government.”
“What do you consider to be targeted by the government? What class of people are you …”
“Undocumented immigrants.”
“So you don’t agree with deportations and things like that?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Did you say anything like that?”
“I didn’t even get there.”
Looking at a copy of Gillcrist’s prepared remarks, the officer said, “So I see you mention Gaza and Ukraine in here. What’s your message with that?”
“They’re our brothers and sisters. When we stop seeing people that way it’s so easy to start making laws or enacting policies that harm them.”
I guess her crime was to try to employ more people who weren't cishet white men. Unforgivable to the fascists in charge. And anyway, they just get off on cruelty because it distracts them from the emptiness inside.
It's a good point about not taking the bait of debating with the far right about their nonsense, but I'm not convinced it quite counts as trolling when, being a proud Nazi, you get up in front of a bunch of Nazis and do Nazi salute to show them you are a Nazi. I guess the trolling is what he did afterwards.
So within two weeks of Trump coming to power, the climate for LGBTQ+ people at the DOJ has become so unsafe that they are having to hide their activities and wish they were back in the closet. I'm really starting to dislike Nazis.
Is this the whole "Nazis were socialists because it's in the name" thing again? The far right love to pull this point out, ignoring the fact that as soon as he had power, Hitler had anyone remotely socialist in the Nazi party murdered so he could get on with the fascism. The name "National Socialist" was a trick to get people on board. Anyway, it figures that Musk thinks Hitler was too left wing, since Musk thinks the whole universe is too left wing. And it's characteristic of Musk that being to the right of Hitler doesn't even give him pause.
If you're in the USA don't you dare say abducting medics, handcuffing them, executing them and dumping their bodies in a mass grave is bad, or you'll be abducted, tortured and disappeared to permanent prison in a random country. This is called free speech.
It's a part of the wider right-wing war on empathy. They see it as a weakness, not as fundamental to what we are.
Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy
Yes, Musk said 'The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.' Here's context
What a well-chosen photo at the top of this article. Two utterly uninspiring men with no ability or will to relate to ordinary people and their problems.
"We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights," Schumer toldThe New York Times earlier this month.
That's a more accurate metaphor than he intended. The fascist train will not even slow down as it runs over him.
Jon Stewart had an hour-long interview with Hakeem Jeffries the other day, and it's just painful to watch. Jeffries resolutely refuses to offer even a single hint of anything the Democrats intend to do beyond expressing vague sympathetic feelings towards unhappy voters. It becomes quite clear the Democratic leadership has no intention of even trying to take part in the resistance the USA needs, and would rather drain the energy of any such movement into their morass of vapid messaging, meandering non-promises and wearying inaction.
The senior Democrats have no intention of fighting for the people. Any effective resistance will have to come from elsewhere.
In response to an emailed series of questions, a spokesperson for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the agency still deems the risk to human health for the general public to be low.
For how much longer can we trust their pronouncements? All the US government departments are under the control of compulsively lying anti-science Nazis.
It's real Nazi science, this identification of criminals by skin colour, tattoos, and gestures. Perhaps they should study head shape too. Anyway, trigger their Nazi spidey sense and you'll be kidnapped and trafficked into permanent imprisonment and slavery in a foreign country where you have no legal rights. They don't have to prove you did anything. And half the US population will cheer because they can't imagine it will ever happen to them.
