The Constitution is not self-enforcing.

The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.

And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.

No one is coming to save us.

It's entirely up to us.

Trump: “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be nearby, but not touching it, and it pays full respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite place, and I love it.”

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

POS lying Kleptocrat.

Grifters gonna GRIFTER.

THIS.

Agreed-although, as a Japaneses person, I admit that when my mom ate natto, I thought it was gross 😂

More people in high places need to be saying this.

US only makes deals with CHILD sex traffickers, not ones who catch fake charges because this administration got in trouble for sending him somewhere he didn't belong.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been taken back into ICE custody and could possibly be facing exile to Uganda or Sudan.

A photo of area residents standing near the entrance to Tweed New Haven Airport to protest Avelo Airlines in New Haven, Conn., on April 9, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "ICE Deportation Airline Avelo Relies on Blue-State Subsidies. Will Dem Governors Do Anything About It?"

Since mid-May when it began flying for ICE Air, Avelo operated 10% of the agency’s deportation flights and 20% of ICE flights overall, according to aviation researcher Tom Cartwright. interc.pt/45AGDUY

The LAPD attacked reporters, despite a court order. Then it lied about it Reporting on the force’s press freedom violations requires more than uncritically repeating the LAPD’s statements

The LAPD lived up to its atrocious press freedom record by beating, detaining, and jailing journalists covering a protest last week.

Journalists must cover these First Amendment violations, and the public must speak out against them.

That’s an insult to pigs. Pus filled diarrhea is what they are.

He has already consolidated power due to the machinations of Thiel, Vought, Yarvin, and Miller and the cowardice of the GOP.

From Twitter: David Oscar Markus & @domarkus X.com Dear @MuellerSheWrote : There is no such thing as work release in federal prison, so your reporting is false. All you had to do was ask any criminal law practitioner, and they would have explained this to you. I wish we had work release in federal prison — and I wish we treated people behind bars better than we do. How about you? I'm surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine's transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee. The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal. But it's still prison. And despite the soundbites, prison is a truly awful place.

My response on Twitter: Hello, Mr. Markus. Here is the BOP policy that says Out Custody is eligible for work details outside prison. Will you go on record that she will not be allowed outside despite her waiver? Also, who authorized the waiver, and in exchange for what? The BOP policy reads: ₽5100.08 9/12/2006 Chapter 2, Page 4 OUT CUSTODY. The second lowest custody level assigned to an inmate requiring the second lowest level of security and staff supervision. An inmate who has OUT custody may be assigned to less secure housing and may be eligible for work details outside the institution's secure perimeter with a minimum of two-hour intermittent staff supervision.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

Surprise surprise.

Wow. It really takes more than 5 “officers” to detain someone—that’s some fraud and waste going on right there.

Power is police meth and the Trump administration has opened up an unlimited free supply.

Illinois stands up for the hard-won advances made for workers.

The Pullman Strikes. The Haymarket Affair. It has been the people of this state who have led the charge for progress, not just for Illinois, but for the nation.

We are ready to do it again — whatever it takes.

Don't let Republicans tell you that Trump's big beautiful bill won't hurt you. Hospitals are already warning that closures are coming.

But Jeff Bezos will get a tax handout to buy another yacht.

Jeffrey Epstein raped children regularly. Donald Trump was his closest friend. Draw your own conclusions.

She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.

And this scenario is right around the corner.

EXACTLY.

He’s not the one calling the shots, Thiel, Yarvin, Vought, and Miller are.
