There are places in this country that serve as tactial testing grounds, places where you can see the future before it arrives. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before Today, men without badges detained a woman for speaking during a town hall

BREAKING: Columbian President Gustavo Petro just released the following condemnation of President Trump: "Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country I don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom...." --->>> Continued You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisors, Jason Miller, says a future Trump Administration would allow states to monitor women’s pregnancies. Retweet so all Americans know to vote against this creepy behavior.

BREAKING: In a shocking leak, Donald Trump just told the leaders of Project 2025 that his most exciting work with them lies ahead. Donald Trump is openly admitting he will implement Project 2025. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Here it comes! @GeorgeTakei nails it

BREAKING: In a stunning new leak, JD Vance completely endorses Project 2025. Donald Trump can’t run from this now. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Holy shit! This journalist (who is a Venezuelan immigrant) just caused Stephen Miller to have a full blown meltdown after busting him for using fake crime data!

Harris should just cut this into an ad. No commentary needed. Although since Trump claims to not know the Project 2025 authors (even though McEntee was his body man), she might question whether dementia is kicking in for the old man.

🔥🔥🔥

Can't wait to watch MAGA twist themselves into a pretzel trying to convince America this guy is evil.

"Tim Walz is wonderful, and she had many good choices — I know [Walz] very well... and to characterize him as left is just so unreal. He's right down the middle. He's a heartland of America Democrat." — @SpeakerPelosi on Tim Walz as Harris's VP pick

Walz was a football coach, but also the faculty advisor for a gay-straight alliance in **rural Minnesota in the 1990s** 🥹🥹 startribune.com/tim-walz-s-c…

I thought I could, but I can’t. I don’t know what’s worse. The lies. THE LIES. The octogenarian who is just that. The constant BLAMING IMMIGRANTS. Or the fact that my colleagues are allowing ALL of this to happen without a challenge. It’s horrific. I’m turning it off.
