There's lots of reasons Trump will never win a Nobel Peace Prize and I don't see why reporters don't call him out. It's easy to ask something like: "Do you think sending people to a forced labor camp disqualified you?" Or "do you think blowing up an elementary school in Iran is peaceful?"

Pete Kegstand practically wet himself with joy over the prospect of livestreaming a public execution by firing squad. what the fuck is wrong with this broken-inside ghoul? Thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I attempt to figure it out. link is here: bit.ly/4AZ9Zvb

Did you notice how completely fucking excited Piss-Drunk Pete was, in that clip? He was absolutely giddy with glee as he burbled away at a mile a minute about how the military was going to publicly kill the shit out of someone. That’s insane.

last night eyewitnesses saw Oscar Belgal — the man shot by ICE with his 5 year old in the car — discharged from the hospital into ICE custody, with feds speeding off as NYPD cleared the roads for them of protesters. his attorneys don't know where he is; he's seemingly been taken out of NY state.

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.
