Every accusation is a false accusation and a confession.

Drugs treating cancer, epilepsy, & HIV were developed thanks to millions in federal funding for universities.

What lifesaving drugs are future patients missing out on due to Trump’s attacks?

A mass shooting in Alabama, but no, send troops to Portland. A democratic judge and senator's house gets burned down, but no, it's the left that's violent. Sickening.

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

Just like during the 2020 BLM protests, far right wing agitators are pretending to be ANTIFA demonstrators, in order to start trouble & make the peaceful protests look bad.

Here's far right 'Patriot Prayer' founder Joey Gibson and his girlfriend in Portland, OR yesterday:

A Word About the Most Important Voting Bloc in America Meet the self-interested majority (who know "a man is not a piece of fruit")

The fact that a vast majority of Americans agree on a wide array of issues and yet our political leaders advance none of them illustrates just how broken our system is. Power has shifted from the majority to a monied-few. How do we win it back? I have some thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

It's a feature, not a bug. They seem to apply it to everything. There's no moral center to anchor to. The disinformation campaigns have created a whole lexicon of trigger words like leftist that cause mindless outrage & hate. They just bounce from one lie to the next, each laced with trigger words.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

If this place goes to shit, I’ll meet you all in the Costco product reviews.

SHERMAN: Who will own the political impact if health insurance does go up 200 percent?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's putting the cart like a mile in front of the horse.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

“This is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.” That is a quote from the temporary restraining order issued by District Judge Karin Immergut blocking President Donald Trump from federalizing and deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Following plans laid down in the Heritage Foundation in “Project 2025,” Trump is inventing a war that does not exist in order to carry out repression using federalized state National Guard soldiers.

As we in Portland contend with the regime’s efforts to invade us (now w/ National Guard soldiers from California and Texas) and stoke violence to support their own false narrative, we need to stay calm & peaceful. Don’t go to their party. Protest elsewhere instead of the federal facility; be smart.

imagining the headlines if Biden collaborated with Pritzker to federalize Illinois' National Guard and send it to Texas. We wouldn't be having a delicate debate about whether it's true authoritarianism or not

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.
