I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

President Trump’s sweeping national security memo directs feds to investigate and prosecute any person, non-profit, or entity displaying what Trump calls political violence: anti-capitalism, anti-Americanism, anti-Christianity, and “extremism” on race, gender, and migration.

I love this and the quote from Jane Goodall, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Listen to the Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein interview podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... then read this brilliant piece from @andreapitzer.bsky.social. This is the discussion we need to be having. Do we have to give up our values. I’m not. And I’m not supporting candidates or people who are.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Latinos are fundamental to California’s history, culture, and greatness.

Latino Heritage Month is a chance to acknowledge the fact that California’s story doesn’t exist without yours — and to celebrate the grit, joy, and dreams that Latinos contribute to our beautiful state.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

Jess Michaels, a survivor of 27 years, just spoke with unshakable courage before the world: for herself, for Virginia Giuffre, & for every survivor silenced for too long.

Her voice broke through decades of denial. The survivors will be silent no longer.

Jeffrey Epstein accusers urge Trump to release all the case files and rule out a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon Six women, along with relatives of prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, are speaking out as interest in the case returns to Capitol Hill.

Epstein survivors speak out. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

This is not a political issue. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. This can bring us together.

Why don’t we do something good for the country: stand with survivors and show the nation we’re still capable of coming together when it matters for truth and justice.

“There is something that is rotten in Washington.”

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) speaks with victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as bipartisan lawmakers press forward with their effort to force a House vote on the full release of the Epstein files.

Tune in to support them.

70 years ago today, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago, was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier. When you see “MAGA,” realize THAT was the America Trumpers are saying was “great.” I want a GREATER America than that. We all should.

New C.D.C. Director Is Fired, White House Says

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office.

The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.

Important.

Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social: A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.

8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.

And yet Trump is sending troops here.

I hope you are seeing the spread already
They will be coming for YOU soon

“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”

Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

If you’re in Austin, there is a current call to show up at the Capitol building 1100 Congress Ave. - tonight 08/17 at 7:00pm.

The Texas GOP is holding Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier hostage.

She refused to sign a “permission slip” that would require a police escort!

🔥 “If I’m willing to drive three hours to come here and talk, I’m gonna ask you to get off your phone and listen to what I have to say.”

On September 3rd at 10:30am ET, Rep. Massie and I are hosting a press conference joined by survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse — several of whom will be speaking out for the first time.

The survivors deserve justice and the public deserves transparency.

Now that his summit with Putin is a bust, could the media please stop calling Trump a master dealmaker? The only deal he’s made this entire presidency was with Ghislaine Maxwell
