Voters Have Good “Bullsh*t Detectors.” Stop using language that trips their “jargon” alarms.

NEW POST: I don’t want to think about the State of the Union, so here’s something completely different. Stop using language that trips voters’ “jargon” alarms. When we use words in unusual ways, we signal inauthenticity which is political poison. Here are some words we need to stop using and why.

Why is Trump so Desperate to Keep Us From Voting?” How to reset the agenda of the election debate.

Our mission is to make the election debate about the Epstein files, and make American citizens so angry about Trump’s placing hurdles in between them and their ballot box that they will march through hell or high water to vote!

Live Updates: Millions of Pages of Epstein Documents Released

Disgusting.

In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”

Americans and all who love our country and know the evil treachery that is happening here should be aware of this...we're being overtaken by not only the oligarchs, corrupt regime, but by corporations we've come to rely on in our everyday lives.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship.

We good with that, America?

I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

Congressman Ted Lieu, a former Air Force veteran, issued a stark warning to U.S. military members, that military action against Greenland without explicit congressional authorization would constitute following illegal orders. He reminded service members they swear an oath to the Constitution, not 🤡…

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.

Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.

Why is any of this necessary?

I swear DHS recruited a bunch of frustrated former high school bullies as ICE agents. And they really had to explain to them that hurt feelings don’t justify brute force.

LEAKED: After the ICE shooting of Renee Good, agents received a mandatory “legal refresher” on civil rights and use of force.

It could happen to ANYONE. And absolutely EVERYONE should be outraged by the abuse and cruelty we’re watching play out in our names. Our tax dollars are funding this.

ICE is storming through our neighborhoods. “Shoot first and cover up later” is unacceptable. Until there is accountability and limits on use of force, they need to STOP. The bigger story: Trump is cornered and lashing out at everyone, here and abroad. reframingamerica.substack.com/p/a-call-to-...

The Walton Family is worth $483 billion.

The Mars family is worth $120 billion.

The Koch family is worth $154.8 billion.

They told us tax breaks for the rich would make the economy better for everyone else.

Instead, they just created full-on American dynasties.

Tax the rich.

This was not self-defense. This was murder.

ICE says their agent feared the woman he shot was going to run him over. Except both of his feet were clearly on the SIDE of the car with her driving in the other direction BEFORE he started shooting.

This was not self-defense. This was murder.

Slingshot News: Trump bragged that he's exploiting the war in Ukraine by making money off equipment sales to NATO. "We have a great situation going over there," Trump callously remarked, using war as a means to make money.

This new video angle 100% does not support the claims of ICE and Noem. This is murder and the chief of police should arrest the federal officer as such.

Every democracy-loving American should be out protesting #ICE like the good folks of Minneapolis.

This holiday season, take time to talk to your friends & family about what's going on so that no American can claim ignorance.

If they don't believe #ICELawlessness, ask them what if questions.
