‘This isn’t what I voted for’ Oh, Hell yeah you did! You should have stopped playing Candy Crush and updating Facebook every 3 minutes and paid more attention to who you were voting for. The writing was on the wall the whole time. #MAGA #gop #republicans #democracy #politics #trump #scotus #dictatorship #constitution #epstein #EpsteinFiles #iran #middleeast #Israel #news #worldnews

Will 2026 finally be the year of third parties in the United States, the year when voters are fed up with our political duopoly? https://www.cfr.org/articles/the-u-s-economy-was-shaky-before-the-iran-war-now-its-in-real-trouble #elections #democracy #duopoly #elections2026 #DemocraticParty #GOP #midtermElections #politicalParties #USElections #USPolitics

Donald Tantrump has spent around 2,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars buying back U.S. offshore wind leases and directing 'investment' (effectively subsidies) to #FossilFuels instead. Because delivery of fossil fuels through the Hormuz Strait is definitely reliable and in no way intermittent... #USpol #FossilFools #MAGA #GOP #TyrantTrump #NoKings #Corruption #IranWar #Trump https://apnews.com/article/trump-offshore-wind-energy-climate-interior-02a1fa04b750809bbe035a70256c734d

BREAKING Erin Burnett/CNN: word is that an arrest warrant has been issued for James Comey. Un-effing real. What a travesty of justice. Esp, as Erin Burnett points out, during the Biden administration, "8646" was a #GOP thing, even appearing on tshirts & hats still for sale on Amazon. Y'all gonna arrest & prosecute those folks for calling for Biden's assassination? Still waiting...

is no compelling argument, legal or otherwise. English is an imprecise language: the same word can have diff meanings. Like "killing" a bill - that doesn't mean killing the ppl who proposed or supported it. Or is that what you actually mean, Speaker Mike Johnson? And this archaic reference to the origin of the term "86" as meaning "8 miles out & 6 feet deep" is not, as the #GOP spokeswoman who dredged it up, common knowledge. Never heard it myself before. Plus that's urban myth, not its 2

As well as spending millions of dollars to defeat progressive candidates, and spinning off a spiderweb of sub pacs, #AIPAC has gone full scorched earth to elect republicans in midterms by talking about how Dems take money from aipac. Easy problem to solve y’all. Don’t take money from foreign terrorists, it’s not hard. If you have taken their money, be public about giving it back and why. Other countries are not supposed to be allowed to meddle in our elections. Why is it ok when it’s #Israel? https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/aipac-3rd-congressional-district-314-action-fund-united-democracy-project-20260424.html #uspol #gop #dems #pacs #illegalcampaignspending

#Trump has been very vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in #US #history & saying a ruling against him would be an economic body blow to the country. But #legal opposition crossed the political spectrum, including #libertarian & pro-#business groups that are typically aligned with the #GOP. Polling has found tariffs are NOT broadly popular with the public, amid wider voter concern about #affordability. #law #economy #geopolitics #SCOTUS #inflation #CostOfLiving

Morning, all, this is of course an (alleged) abuse of official position, 'insider trading', a breach of OPSEC and morally wrong, but one has to conclude that the real crime committed by Van Dyke was not being a member of Don Trumpeone's #Trump crime family... #USpol #GOP #MAGA #NoKings #TyrantTrump #TrumpCrimeFamily #Corruption #DOJ #CorruptDOJ #GodFatherTrump #DonTheCon https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20832yg5p2o

The most dangerous of RFK Junior's many crazy beliefs is his opinion that germs are not the primary causes of disease. Instead, he believes in a completely unproven notion called "terrain theory." He was finally asked about terrain theory by Bernie Sanders yesterday: https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/04/rfk-jr-s-rejection-of-germ-theory-debunked-in-senate-hearing/

Good Morning(ish), all, With the deluge of Bad US News, I thought I'd post some Good News; I searched my playlist for the report on how the nerves of the clitoris have been mapped for the first time (30 years after mapping the penile nerves). But I couldn't find it... So here instead: some Good #EU News on unfreezing a €90B loan to Ukraine after the electoral defeat of Viktor Orbán (and thus Vlad Putin & Don Trumpeone). #EUpol #USpol #SlavaUkrayini #GOP #MAGA #Trump https://youtu.be/DtcJdHA8pMg?si=zE7lOJhqSDwRL51-

I don't think this horrifying January 20th article on Popular Information broke into the mainstream media much at the time, but given the news that the Trump regime is turbocharging its efforts to build concentration camps out of warehouses and military bases all around the country, it probably should have. In the simplest possible terms, ICE is now denying medical coverage to thousands of detainees, and regardless of the reasons why that is happening (more below) this depraved indifference to human life inside what we have already established are concentration camps, is eerily reminiscent of the process that lead the actual Nazi Reich in Germany to conduct the Holocaust. https://popular.info/p/ice-has-stopped-paying-for-detainee ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment "Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for this population. While ICE employs some of its own medical staff, it often uses third-party providers. ICE’s Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, for example, houses over 500 detainees and has no doctor or dentist on staff. ICE, however, has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025. Last week, ICE posted a notice on an obscure government website announcing it will not begin processing such claims until at least April 30, 2026. Until then, medical providers are instructed “to hold all claims submissions.” ICE’s failure to pay its bills for months has caused some medical providers to deny services to ICE detainees, an administration source, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, told Popular Information. In other cases, detainees have allegedly been denied essential medical care by ICE." If you read the entire story, you'll discover that this situation likely arose out of another manufactured outrage promoted by fascists both inside and outside the GOP; specifically the idea that having Veteran Affairs process medical services claims for ICE (which ICE paid them for in full) amounted to "robbing veterans to pay off" migrants. That is however not exculpatory for either ICE or the larger Trump administration, because deciding to stuff people into concentration camps and then refusing to provide them necessary, in some cases even life-saving medical care, because of a manufactured political scandal, is still deciding to lock people in concentration camps and let them fucking die. To paraphrase Toni Morrison, the reason the Nazis called what we now know as the Holocaust, the "final solution" is because they tried a bunch of other things before that to solve the "problem" of Jewish people existing inside Nazi-controlled territory. One of those "solutions" was absolutely purposely making life in the concentration and labor camps impossible to sustain - in other words, murdering Jewish people and other folks inside the camps through intentional neglect. I'm pretty sure it's not any sort of accident at all, that Trump, Miller, Noem and other assorted literal fucking white supremacist nazis in this administration and the larger Homeland Security aparatus, are copying from Hitler and Himmler's most evil playbook. #Fascism #ConcentrationCamps #ICE #Murder #Trump #GOP #KristiNoem #StephenMiller #FinalSolution #MurderByNeglect

Naturally, if you're going to start sprouting up concentration camps all over the country, while mass arresting more migrants and your political opponents to fill them, you're going to need Gestapo forces and administrators all over the United States of America too; and the buildings to house them. So I guess you won't be shocked to learn that the Trump administration, DHS, and ICE are currently going about acquiring space all over the country to do just that, right? https://www.commondreams.org/news/ice-dhs-expansion-plans Amid Secretive Expansion, Leaked Docs Reveal Locations of New ICE Facilities Nationwide "Overall, Wired reported on Tuesday, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—has been aggressively expanding its footprint across the country, with “more than 150 leases and office expansions” that “have or would place new facilities in nearly every state, many of them in or just outside of the country’s largest metropolitan areas.” Quite frankly, I could have put this store in our "DHS is doing ethnic cleansing" thread, because as the article goes on to note, these new ICE facilities are being embedded directly in major metropolitan areas, and next to locations the Gestapo is already targeting - like schools, mosques, and hospitals or childcare facilities. As the author of the original Wired report noted: “The leasing plans give a clear picture of where ICE is going next in the US: Everywhere,” the report concluded." I chose to put it here in the concentration camp thread however, because I think when taken together with ICE's plans to build a nation-wide gulag system for migrants and dissenters they call "terrorists," a very clear picture of how exactly the Trumpenreich fascist dictatorship will be created is emerging. A while back I wrote an article on NIDC predicting that the massive DHS and ICE funding in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill would facilitate the transformation of those agencies from Trump's Gestapo, into his Schutzstaffel, or SS because the militarization of these forces would allow the Swine Emperor to effectively occupy the United States militarily under a semi-permanent state of martial law. (You can find that article here, if you care: https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/07/28/a-schutzstaffel-of-his-own/ ) Taken together, this massive influx of funding to build concentration camps all around the country, combined with ICE's intention to embed itself directly in our urban areas nationwide, sure do look an awful lot like a permanent fascist military occupation of America to me. #ICE #DHS #Gestapo #MartialLaw #Trump #PorkReich #Schutzstaffel #MilitaryOccupation #OccupiedAmerica #GOP #USPol

Donald Tantrump is talking (again) about pulling out of #NATO. Don Trumpeone's Mafia protection racket: 'Nice democracies you have there - it'd be a real shame if they burnt down...' President Trump might want to consider why the UK and other European countries would want to allow the United States of Trump to retain its bases here if no longer part of NATO. #USpol #GOP #MAGA #Trump #TyrantTrump #EmperorTrump #NoKings https://youtu.be/8EjIMyxdXt4?si=l7yaZcvCy4LICQ-S
