Remember the summer Olympics in Barcelona where the archer lit the torch with a flaming arrow?

Just a random memory. 🔥🏹

Arresting a former prince sends a message. And if a former president can testify on Capitol Hill, there’s no reason the current one can’t too—unless this is all about protecting Donald Trump. Insist that your representatives in Congress make that happen. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Mind-boggling that the same day South Korea's former leader is sentenced to life in prison for leading an insurrection

—and the same day British police arrest a prominent royal over allegations of sick Epstein predation

—our own insurrectionist-leading predator is thus mocking the rule of law:

Over in the Bad Place, people keep trying to get Grok to disagree with my summary of the Save America Act, but Grok keeps telling them I’m right. #NoOnSave #ProtectOurData 1/

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company $500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

In the days before the presidential inauguration, an Emirati sheikh paid $187 million to entities controlled by Donald Trump’s family to take a major stake in one of the president’s crypto companies, World Liberty Financial.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

This is truly sickening. I weep for his victims. Imagine seeing your rapist’s face on the actual Department of Justice.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

I'm sorry but my entire "following" feed right now is one ridiculously corrupt or awful thing after another to the point where I'm laughing instead of wondering somewhat tragically why my country can't do better.

Time to stop calling them concentration camps and start calling them torture camps.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I am completely convinced MAGAt men are all secretly homosexual (but in desperate denial) and that is the root of their many MANY problems—psychological and otherwise. THAT is why they all come across as phonies, cosplaying in various ways.

ALSO…
astounding stupidity.

Today Rep Ted Lieu stated after reviewing Epstein files: "In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations, allegations of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.” Hours later we see news reports Trump is on verge of bombing Iran. This is 2 + 2 = 4 stuff.

A detainee died in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in Indiana on Monday, with the cause of death under investigation, ICE said, marking at least the seventh death in 2026 in federal immigration custody reut.rs/4aY1wgH

I don't much believe in sudden conversions, but I imagine the trauma they're inflicting will not affect every ICE agent or subcontractor the same way. I imagine soon, we're going to get some real horror stories from the people whose livelihoods depend on implementing this hate.

James Talarico: There is a backlash growing across Texas to the extremism and the corruption in our politics. We have a people powered movement to take take back our country — and clearly Donald Trump has taken note.

We're building something really special in Texas.

Guards at an ICE detention facility in Texas raided the dorms of immigrant families Tuesday, in order to destroy children’s letters that threatened to shed light on the horrific living conditions. trib.al/tDaTXGT

Raping and pillaging is his entire life

Same eerie feeling of Elon gleefully sending millions to their death and just getting richer.

We need to start paying stricter attention to RI leadership and begin more actively communicating with legislators

yikes what ignorant boors
