Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

SO. MUCH. WINNING. 🧹🧹🧹

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

MAJOR BREAKING: California’s redistricting measure, Prop 50, has PASSED — a major win for Governor Gavin Newsom.

The Blue Tsunami is complete.

Trump and MAGA have been forcefully REJECTED by the American people.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Updating my LEGO White House

Each of these corporations has big federal contracts, is currently doing business with the Trump family, or has active antirust cases before the courts.

Everything is for sale.

"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both"

Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

US Senate fails to pass bill to pay federal essential workers and troops through shutdown - NewsBreak Shutdown Fairness Act, introduced by Ron Johnson, a Republican senator of Wisconsin, failed in a 54-45 vote

I’m confused. They need legislation (FAILED) to pay essential workers & our troops during their self-created #GOPShutdown, but no legislation/accountability to bulldoze the East Wing for a privately funded Epstein Ballroom or send $40B to bail out Argentina.. 😣😡

Lankford: "I think now history has proven that Russiagate was a hoax. It was actually formed by James Coney and Brennan and others that were behind the scenes to push a narrative they knew at the time was false." (This is a lie -- would've been nice for Kasie Hunt to point that out.)

To those who told me I was overreacting in 2016: 🖕🏻!

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market.

Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army.

Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

💪♥️

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Silence Is Not an Option But you can still speak out and stay safe.

These days it can be scary to stand up and speak out publicly, but it is vital that everyone plays a role in saving democracy. Here are some ways to speak out and stay safe.

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

Trump's Plan To invoke the Insurrection Act

Trump's Plan
open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Today I did something incredibly empowering, SUPER fun...thrilling actually.

It was 100% free & made me feel like a hero. I did it right from my computer & maintained total privacy.

You can do it, too!

I called voters & convinced 11 people who knew nothing or were confused to vote YES ON PROP 50.

Docs Show MAGA Stars Appearing on Epstein’s Daily Schedule The documents show Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel had scheduled meetings with Epstein, while Elon Musk may have visited his island.

Docs Show MAGA Stars Bannon, Thiel & Musk on Epstein’s Schedule
www.thedailybeast.com/docs-show-ma... FYI: aside from the dates in the docs, this has been public info for years.

Also not news: Musk, Thiel & Zuck (& Reid Hoffman) had dinner with Epstein shortly before the 2016 election.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Kimmel won, kind of makes me think the pushback works, just like it did in 2016

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.
