Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children.

The Congressional GOP is unified behind him.

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.

HEY! If you really want to crack down on criminals in D.C., start with the kingpin running the White House.

A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away. The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.

The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota.

But after the state passed a measure preventing transgender young people like their daughter from using girls’ bathrooms, they sold it and moved away.

Agreed, it was terrifying and enraging. It was at the ice facility in Portland Oregon last night. They’ve been terrorizing protesters and poisoning their neighbors for two months now.

No truer words have been spoken. 😳👇

"...even the warrants that they put out for (Texas legislature Dems), they are signed by the speaker of the [Texas] House. This is not a law enforcement official. This is not a judge. This is not a prosecutor. This is no one who would normally sign off on a warrant."

On Wednesday, ICE GOONS arrested a mother in the school drop-off line at Inzunza Camarina Elementary in Chula Vista, leaving her two children in the car.

ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

“Attacks on ICE agents are up 1,000%” Tony Gonzales (TX-R)

Bullsh*t

HOW do we know there is any increase (of any %) when their “data” is not presented with a “baseline” of assaults?

ICE began 2003
ICE is safer than Policing

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🤔Seems like every US city with a significant Black population will get its own very expensive and completely unnecessary martial law occupation under this administration.

LA was first. DC is next.

I'm not even going to do another thread about how this doesn't decrease crime. You already know.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:

*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

It’s coming up on the anniversary of the August 12, 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally, when James Fields drove his car through a crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens. I was a medic that day on a unit that cared for and transported several people, including Ms. Heyer.

Kelly: "I had another situation here with a kid who was on his little league trip in a baseball tournament.

On this day in 1988, the Civil Liberties Act was signed into law—issuing a formal apology and reparations to Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated during WWII.

Yet nearly 40 years later, our government is once again incarcerating individuals without due process.

i didn't get into it in my essay on this speech, but beyond the basic incoherence of vance's assorted grievances, i'm struck by how ungrateful *he* is, a man who owes his fame and fortune to the open, cosmopolitan society he is trying to destroy for the sake of power
