We’re Paying A Huge Price Because We’re Afraid To Call Trump What He Truly Is Oct 14, 2026 32:44 The media in this country goes out of their way to normalize him. They always have. And way too many Americans do the same. And way too many of our allies around the world have done the same. Because they’re all afraid. They’re all afraid to say the unthinkable about Donald Trump. And because they’ve been afraid, he’s gotten away with doing the unthinkable. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy f
ICE Cannot Be Fixed. It Can’t. It Must Be Abolished. We Must Start Over
ICE Cannot Be Fixed. It Can’t. It Must Be Abolished. We Must Start Over Oct 13, 2026 33:44 It is a government agency that cannot be fixed, and cannot be reformed. The rot runs too deep. They’ve hired too many agents who simply cannot be changed. They’ve developed a mindset immune from softening. The only solution to immigration enforcement is to start over. Abolish whatever ICE is and start over. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Does Fascism Look Like? This Is What Fascism Looks Like Oct 12, 2026 29:34 Federal agents raided MN Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC house earlier this morning, per the direction of the Department of Homeland Security. 22 days before the election. Why? No one knows what. The Justice Department signed off on it, but as we all know, the Justice Department is no longer an independent agency. This is Trump demanding the feds go after one of his political opponents. That’s fasci

Assume He’ll DO The Bad Shit Oct 7, 2026 37:35 We just found out that for the first time in over two decades, the United States won’t allow international observers to come watch our elections process.

Yes, Trump’s Brain Is Pudding, But He’s Also A Sociopath
Yes, Trump’s Brain Is Pudding, But He’s Also A Sociopath Oct 6, 2026 30:29 Did Trump just misspeak last night when he told Iran to go ahead and blow up Los Angeles and San Diego? No. He’s the most divisive president this country has ever had. And even though he’s rapidly losing his mind, he’d burn this entire country down if it would benefit him. Trump gets no benefit of the doubt. Never. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If It’s Possible, Trump Is Getting Worse Every Single Day Oct 5, 2026 30:07 He was in Ohio over the weekend, bribed voters with money if they voted Republican, threatened not to help people if they didn’t vote Republican. He’s attacking our elections most viciously every day. He’s getting nastier with his personal insults every single day. 30 days to go until the midterms. Hosted on Acast.

Vote Against Cruelty In November
Vote Against Cruelty In November Oct 1, 2026 29:03 58 people have died in ICE custody so far. Or at least, those are the 58 deaths we’re aware of. Probably more. And this administration’s answer to that number is - “this ain’t the Holiday Inn.” They don’t care and they’re purposely displaying cruelty. Because cruelty has always been the point.

Yesterday Was A Reminder That A Criminal/Traitor Is In The White House
Yesterday Was A Reminder That A Criminal/Traitor Is In The White House Sep 30, 2026 42:30 Yesterday, I was down. Jack Smith’s haunting words that the president of the United States refused to accept an election loss and committed crimes trying to overturn an election just took me back to how wrong this country is that we never held him accountable for his crimes. I don’t know that we’ll ever recover from that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
