Here's the thing. The only thing keeping the oligarchs safe is the illusion that the law still matters. There's only so much they can do without convincing us of their lies.

If the laws don't work anymore, then no amount of money will protect them.

The people *always* have the power. Never forget.

"Don't be evil"

Remember that? I do.

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.

Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

Senate Democrats Block DHS Measure as Funding Deadline Approaches Lawmakers say they remain far apart on deal on Homeland Security to put new restrictions on immigration enforcement

NEW: Senate Democrats REJECT funding for DHS, which will lead to shutdown of the agency. Keep in mind, ICE and CBP are still funded by supplemental money in the BBB, but it's harder to spend and will deplete those funds. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

Since Pam Bondi is worse than useless, Epstein survivor @anniegrover.bsky.social has started a GoFundMe for Virginia Giuffre to help settle her estate and cover her legal fees. www.gofundme.com/f/help-virgi...

All the assault allegations against Donald Trump, recapped Their charges range from an unwanted touch from behind to aggressive, sudden kissing to fingers groping up their skirt and into their underwear. Donald Trump and his campaign insist all of the stories...

Just so we are all on the same page:

Probably sage advice regardless...

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Photo that captures this inglorious time. The Epstein regime- grossly indifferent to survivors while protecting the perpetrators

I've been thinking, and I think the problem we have there is abdication of responsibility by the owners of these platforms.

They shouldn't have to be told child porn is bad. Or fascism for that matter. I get the legalality, but if fear is what's chaining their hands, we need braver platform owners!

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Trump's Epstein confession revealed in newly surfaced FBI files: 'Everyone knows' An explosive new report has yet again undercut President Donald Trump's repeated denials that he knew of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's crimes against teen girls. According to an October 2019...

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

And...do I expect this incompetent government to actually produce said passports in a timely fashion?

And...since when is it the federal government's decision anyway?

even if ICE leaves Minnesota i wouldn’t celebrate because it means they’re going to terrorize other places in full force. we have begun to try to equip others but even then no one truly knows what this is like until they experience it. it’s abolish ICE or nothing. no one is safe if they’re around.

Deciding it’s too dangerous to reveal just how unpopular the current president is seems like the worst poll result ever.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

The USA now has CONCENTRATION CAMPS

The USA is torturing, starving, and killing adults and CHILDREN in these CONCENTRATION CAMPS

Sick
Disgusting
Abhorrent

WHAT HAPPENED TO NEVER AGAIN

photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Ireland announces scheme to provide basic income for artists The Basic Income for Artists (BIA) project is believed to be the first permanent one of its kind in the world.

After a trial over the last few years, Ireland has launched a permanent scheme giving a basic income of €325 a week for artists.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

Thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this". -President Donald Trump 2006

While the media uses Trump's 2006 statements in an attempt to exonerate him from raping little girls, which it doesn't. The media states he lied about what he knew and when he knew about it.

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now it turns out the whole thing is just election deniers telling the same old lies. Our democracy is in danger but I founded Democracy Docket to help keep you informed on the fight ahead. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Oct 2019 FBI interview w/ former Palm Beach Police Chief:
trump called him Jul 2006 with insider details about Epstein's activities

"Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone HAS KNOWN he’s been doing this”

tRumpstein:
Everyone knows now ... turn him in & have him killed before he turns me in

Exactly. If you're not giving an illegal order, you have nothing to worry about. Seriously.
