Six days until the release of the Epstein files. He'll be using cruise missiles by Sunday.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Halloween is going to be weird now that there are scary masked people on the streets all year long.

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.

Support and protect this man, Chicago. ICE is vindictive.

I also think he was a hate monger in the name of his religious fanaticism, and a corrosive public force, and a grifter. And I think the first thing to do with such a person is protect their safety, and then argue against their ideas.

I have always supported stricter gun laws because I want to protect human lives. Including Charlie Kirk’s life. I did my best to protect him, because to me that is the only moral choice.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

This is heavy.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Well then, I guess we all better hope the two million people with assault rifles, tanks, drones, cruise missiles, artillery, and warplanes are fully prepared to disobey unlawful orders.

On a personal note — thanks, Trump voters.

Barbara Gomes Marques is documentary filmmaker who risks imminent deportation to Brazil. Loud voices in the film community could be especially helpful right now.

I fully support your telling them next time you have the opportunity.

I understand that American whiteness creates incentives for Irish Americans to not understand this but every racist mythos also casts the Irish as a uniquely violent and stupid people.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Democracy may be on the decline here in the US, but thankfully there are a bunch of countries stepping up and advancing democracy worldwide.

Holy shit I miss the old Republicans, who were at least prudish and buttoned-up so we didn’t have to hear creepy stuff like this!

One legal victory at a time people.

You know we’re gonna find out that Amelia Earhart’s plane crashed on Epstein’s island, right?

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

ICE is abusing/torturing/disappearing/killing people using our tax dollars and in our name.
