Here’s a NFL player’s opinion of MAGA

Hello, my name is Chris Kluwe and I'm a 15 year HB resident here to speak out against the current city council.
As the community made clear at the Library commission meeting last Tuesday, everyone is in favor of a plaque to celebrate the library, but the vast, VAST majority are against including a MAGA acrostic as the centrally defining feature (I'm ignoring the general ugliness of the design itself).
Unfortunately, it is *also* clear that this council does not care what we as a community want, so I'd like to take my time to talk about what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks.
MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence.
https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-righ...tion-explained
MAGA stands for resegregation and racism.
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/...funds-over-dei
MAGA stands for censorship and book bans.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ibraries-trump
MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing.
https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-...ad8dcee31f3437
MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...ure-rcna192345
MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide, opioid addiction, and medical issues related to burn pits.
https://www.military.com/daily-news/...ker-purge.html
MAGA stands for cutting funds to education, including for disabled children.
https://www.al.com/news/2025/02/trum...cates-say.html
MAGA stands for a heroin-snorting junkie being placed in charge of the Department of Health; an abusive alcoholic Deus Vult wannabe crusader being put in charge of the Department of Defense; and a noted Putin apologist being confirmed to run our intelligence services. Mitch McConnell voted against her confirmation, by the way.
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/...h/78525188007/
https://www.reed.senate.gov/news/rel...t-pete-hegseth
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...bard-confirmed
MAGA stands for a ketamine-addled, unelected billionaire ransacking our private financial details with no oversight. He has access to his competitor's financial details, and the bulk of his fortune comes from lucrative government contracts. He's also trying to get his hands on NASA, one of the jewels of American public innovation - again, one of his competitors.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/0...e-irs-00204579
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...-privatization
MAGA stands for hate, and fear, and the idea that we should have a king instead of co-equal branches of government. MAGA stands for a version of America that would appall the founders of this country, because they explicitly warned about this exact situation in the Federalist papers, multiple times.
MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakeably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. They may have substituted a red hat for an armband with a swastika, but every single thing MAGA stands for is what the Nazis did. Eugenics. Racism. Blind loyalty to the leader over what benefits the community as a whole. Removal or destruction of knowledge deemed "unsavory." Removal of groups deemed "unsavory." Sustained assaults on science, reason, and logic. Ceaseless propaganda that has no basis in reality. The promotion of fools, imbeciles, and charlatans to positions of power.
The threat to take everything you have, unless you give it to them first.
If this council wants to have MAGA represent our community, as someone who actually believes in the Constitution, I can only have one response to Nazis.

I see this has struck a nerve.

I’ve travelled to Canada quite a bit, more eastern Canada really, and while I find Ontario to be nice Quebec is a lot more fun especially Quebec City if you’ve never been.

Several years ago I was driving with my kids in rural Quebec and stopped at a desperately needing to be updated McDonalds to satiate their hunger. The menu was entirely in French and my older son was a little panicked. Fortunately I speak a little French and was able to procure nourishment without any further issue.

We crossed the border into Maine and drove the 201 along the Kennebec River, an absolutely beautiful stretch of country.

From what I understand the older Mainers still speak some Quebecois to this day though I’m not sure the kids are really into it.

How was I incorrect? That spelling is still in use today.

Have you ever been to Quebec?

Actually if you’re an American, he’s the President and Americans owe no allegiance to any person.
There are no kings or tyrants allowed in America.
That’s the difference.

Even naturalized citizens learn that.

The Oath of Allegiance
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom
or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
…that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
…that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
…that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law;
…that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States
when required by the law;

On May 5, 1789, the Senate passed its first bill—the Oath Act. That first oath, for members and civil servants, was very simple: "I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States."

Each and every United States employee, Private, Airman, Sailor, Representative, Government Service Level 1, Government Service Level 18, Senator, Vice President, Supreme Court Justice, etc takes an oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution.

I personally believe the vast majority take this oath seriously. I believe only one former or current President considered it a mere formality.

Calling Nicolas Cage

Trump: "There's a map on the back of the Constitution. We're going to be looking at it very closely. We've been talking about it from the day I got in, and we're looking at that very, very strongly."

The secretary of agriculture canceled a meeting on biodiversity
The secretary of agriculture bragged about canceling a biodiversity conference because she thinks biodiversity is DEl-related. I wish this was a joke. It's just the level of stupidity and
"confidently incorrect" we're at right now.

I’m a more than a bit surprised you’d resort to consulting a dictionary created by the same BRITISH people we kicked out in 1783!

America is beautiful, so is Canada. Trump on the other hand is capitulating to Vladimir Putin which all of us should be abhorred by.

Wait until farmers can’t get proper climate data to maximize yields because it’s considered too woke.

Hegseth orders military to draw up plans for 40% total budget cuts over the next fives years, 8% per year. Exponentially worse than sequestration that crippled the military in 2011.


Don’t worry, General, we will form an alliance with Russia, China and North Korea. A tremendous alliance with my great friends, one like no one has ever seen. We will defeat all the woke countries, and people will say to Trump, in tears, “Sir, you are the greatest allier in the history of the world!”

Joe Biden took over when the US economy was wrecked from the pandemic, businesses shut down, schools closed, global inflation, etc. Our economic recovery was the envy of the world. Donald Trump took over during a booming economy BOTH TIMES, and he's going to wreck it even faster this time around without any outside catastrophic event.

I’m willing to wager we’re going to hear about a new US Russia agreement for total nuclear disarmament. Specific terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed but the general framework can be summed up with “Ok, The United States goes first”

“And then have your oligarchs call my oligarchs, I’ll be golfing…

But I’m getting more convinced that there will be a hot war very shortly, Russia has not been this weak for 80 years.
Europe knows it’s now or be attacked in a few years. Unless you’re just betting on Putin’s successor being a nice guy.

US President Donald Trump is "very frustrated" with the Ukrainian leader, his national security adviser Mike Waltz told a White House news briefing. but of course left out details

Z won't kiss his ring


Kyiv news conference with Zelensky and Trump's Ukraine envoy cancelled at last minute


Meanwhile, the Kremlin has hailed the US president's stance, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying Russia "absolutely" agreed with Trump after he urged Zelensky to "move fast" to end the conflict.

and some still think he isn't in bed with the Russians

Well, I’d certainly agree he was shot. Just a scratch but could have been deadly what with firing a military designed weapon at such a close range.

You want to say he was grazed . Ok but please stop with your hero worship . Of Trump..


Reagan was seriously wounded by a revolver bullet that ricocheted off the side of the presidential limousine and hit him in the left underarm, breaking a rib, puncturing a lung, and causing serious internal bleeding.

Still can’t tell the difference. Can you. Seek help and get out of the cult

Extraordinary story in the Wall Street Journal.

X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers.

That’s extortion.

A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call in December from a lawyer at X. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk's social-media platform, or else.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino has made comments that seemed like similar warnings in conversations with Interpublic executives, according to people with knowledge of those talks.
Interpublic leaders interpreted the communications from X as reminders that the recently announced $13 billion deal to merge Interpublic with rival Omnicom Group OMC -0.53%Y could be torpedoed, or at least slowed down, by the Trump administration, given Musk's powerful role in the federal government, some of the people said. They also had a front-row seat to Musk's continued criticism of advertisers that ditched X since he bought it in 2022, when it was known as Twitter.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.
