America is now Germany 1933 and President Hindenburg has just let Hitler become Chancellor.

Yesterday saw:

Pam Bondi stopped the release of a D o J study that showed violent and extremist attacks in America overwhelmingly come from right wing/racist groups.

In a war on the 1st Amendment and the Freedom of Speech with the firing of Jimmy Kimmel by
Disney/ABC in what can only be called a capitulation to fascism. America has lost its way.

A Texas Republican in Congress said that the late hate talker Charlie Kirk if he was alive would
have been one of Jesus’ Apostles in now a naked in your face campaign to make Kirk a saint
who died because of liberal’s free speech so now A.G. Bondi has promised to prosecute anyone
who speaks out against Trump and our now Fascist National agenda.

Stephen Miller.

Every Republican Senator voted to protect a child raping, child sex trafficking monster, and
a money laundering criminal who is now back in the White House because of a dirty election.

Trump pulled billions of dollars that were to be used for cancer research and treatment. The
rich and powerful want people to die and suffer for some reason or another. And these deaths
and sufferings will come from other factors then just cancer. Got to clean out all of us useless
eaters? My guess.

Trump declared war on a non existent organization called ANTIFA in a straight up
overthrow of the rule of law and America’s Constitutionally protected democracy.

The Trump administration demanding voter information and data from individual states
in an effort to rig future elections. Also Trump’s attack on mail in voting because he and
others can’t control those votes as much but in 2024 attacks on those votes cost Harris
@ least 3 million votes.

Film of ICE agents assaulting an 80 year old man who owned a car wash in California because
he wanted to talk to them about his employees they were arresting because they had their
documentation on the premises. With a big masked ICE agent reportedly sayin “Don’t fuck with
ICE” and the SCOTUS had just ruled that what they did to that 80 year old man was legal.

Kash Patel proving that he has no business being in charge of the FBI. The day before he tried
to take credit for the arrest of the alleged shooter of Kirk by saying that he had ordered local
law enforcement to release the videos of the shooter to the media. Which was a lie. Yesterday
morning NBC reported this story about Patel and by the afternoon that web page was gone.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. having anything to do with science, medicines, and vaccines is just wrong.
The man has made millions of dollars in fees by selling complete gibberish about vaccines from
a law firm that sues vaccine manufacturers.

Trump acting like a complete ass in England @ a formal ceremony @ Buckingham Palace.

And in an ongoing nightmare after Trump and Musk’s stopping of USAID help to some of the
poorest people in the World > 500,000 people have died in Africa over half of them are children.
Reason why? They are both racists and the people dying and suffering are just n*****s who
with Musk being an Afrikaner sees as the enemy a view that he shares with Trump to them
they are not even human. We are looking @ Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao type of numbers
of deaths from the pulling of USAID over the next few years.

I have to take a break from DU and politics for a while now. I just can’t stomach what is happening.

We’ve seen a great deal of damage to the democratic institutions we’re relied on to preserve our rights, and too many of them have simply been damaged beyond repair or, like the Supreme Court, actively supported Trump’s agenda. Considering Trump’s authoritarian takeover in only months, I shudder to think where we will be in another 3+ years of his police state tactics.

Thinking everyone on our side of the fence needs to be thinking of ways to outsmart the right.
And yes the deck is stacked against us, Fascism is gaining ground and we need to stop it.

Is there any way to prove the shooter was a R and not "left leaning", or expose their other lies?

Anyone who believes America is freedom is upset.

People have come here to escape horrors in their homeland while many Black Americans were experiencing horrors right here. Our history is full of horrors and suffering. I honestly wonder how they got through it and rose to getting this stupid racist country to elect a Black President only to see it snap back to its hideous racist roots.

I do feel like we’re fighting a losing battle but I’m not quite ready to surrender.

ignoring everything for over 45+ years, starting with HWBush's Treason to get "front man" Reagan installed in the White House

The perfect title for a book about the past 45+ years would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT

They were all walking down the Jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and were oblivious to the herd of charging elephants....Pun Intended....

And yes, please take care of yourself.

Things have been and are happening on a much faster timeline now than in the late twenties and thirties. They know they have until next summer at the latest.

It is at a horrific level already, and accelerating more with every day that passes.........

Steven Miller and the 2025 Fascists have an extremely long 'to do' list, and release a steady number of them each and every day.....It's like Chinese Water Torture, drip, drip, drip......

And it came directly from the 2025 crew and Steven Miller Inc............like everything else raining down on a daily basis.....
A diversion from Trump/Epstein, ......AND .......a whole brand new platform to blitz the radical dems......

.........Just wait until they go to work here in the U.S. like England did to the people that hung the Trump/Epstein Banners from buildings......
They arrested them, and charged them with ***Malicious Communications*** ????!!!!!! Now, the MAGAot crowd can make the same law here, and justify it by saying OTHER countries do it......

Can you just imagine the damage the MAGAots can do with a law against Malicious Communications???????????

And exactly the same outcome. 0% they can do when they (the institutions) are dead, or captured. Our Constitution won't save us. We have to re-remember WE are the Constitution and take that power back.

and beg them to tell me they have a plan to stop him. They are all Republicans, but I still don't believe anyone same would want this to continue. He has to be stopped! Pam Bondi had to be stopped. Stevie boy miller needs to be stopped. Our first amendment rights are dead. I thank Jimmy Kimmel for pushing the agenda, but also taking care of himself first by getting citizenship in another country.
