Right now it kind of feels like a wildfire just blazed through town and we are all standing in the wreckage—except without any B-roll of burned up trees to play. You don't even know how to make sense of it all because far too much still looks the same on the surface when it really shouldn't.

Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

He’s retiring after the midterms, he should leave now so Pritzker can put someone better in to handle the current political environment

Now do Durbin please

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

Ellis: The use of force during the Trump administration's Operation Midway Blitz "shocks the conscience."

Ellis: Federal agents described a number of protestors as "professional agitators" based on their use of whistles, in part.

"Describing neighborhood moms and rapid response groups as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are and how incredible their statements are."

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.

Democrats swept all 13.

That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).

They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

The fascism persists in Chicago this morning where Trump’s thugs followed a teacher into a daycare 5 mins from my home and dragged her out in front of children in her care. They kidnapped two teachers at the school my neighbor sends her children to.

Zohran Mamdani has won more votes than people who live in the following states:

South Dakota
North Dakota
Alaska
Vermont
Wyoming

He will soon pass Delaware.

Could also pass Montana and Rhode Island.

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

Has a single Republican won anything tonight?

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

The horror

This is state run human trafficking

What is the state waiting for? Genuinely baffling to me why pritzker isn’t sending the national guard to protect us from literal acts of war on the quiet streets of Chicago. And where is the police? Crimes everywhere.

“Making Sense of the Federal Forces on the Streets,” with photos of how they’re uniformed and equipped

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

If any other person or group was doing this to residential neighborhoods in Chicago, Chicago police would do something about it. But these thugs? Free to terrorize.

An actual terrorist would be thrilled to achieve this level of physical devastation of the White House

Border Patrol Agents Descend On Little Village, Sparking Fury, Fear In Neighborhood Federal agents detained at least four people — including two U.S. citizens — plus caused at least two car crashes and pepper-sprayed a man Wednesday near the border of Little Village and suburban Cice...

The feds driving around and terrorizing our neighborhoods like they're playing Grand Theft Auto is now a daily/regular occurrence and I keep wondering how we're supposed to live like this

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Normies are going to hate this so much. Vandalizing the beloved White House is hard to spin, even for these freaks

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

Photo from Chicago: DHS militarized agent holding a gun up directly in someone’s face as the victim has their hands up, pleading for them not to shoot.

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

every ruling out of chicago is like, "federal judge rules ICE agents cannot desecrate graves; must not deploy nuclear weapons against journalists and faith leaders."

It’s true, and it is one of the only channels left that we actually have some control over. May it inspire others!

None of them replied but I didn’t expect them to. I may keep writing to them anyways
