None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

Yes, this is a bipartisan tragedy and long-time coverup. No matter. Release the Epstein files. Stop protecting wealthy pedophiles and rapists. Expose them all; then put them in prison.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

Secretary Kristi Noem on X: "Chicago, we’re here for you. https://t.co/BZdLgNfiqu" / X Chicago, we’re here for you. https://t.co/BZdLgNfiqu

This dystopian video is previewing a violent takeover, not a targeted law enforcement action. It's insane.

Trump is militarizing our cities to STOKE violence. Not to reduce it. These are the tried and true tactics of authoritarians - plain and simple.

NYC: ICE is unwelcome in the city. Citizens have surrounded them and forced them to leave.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

Here are the details and our methodology. Judge for yourself: www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

Absurd. Peaceful opposition is not insurrection.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

As Trump ramps up National Guard threats, what’s crime really like in Portland and Seattle? Donald Trump has often name-checked both cities, describing them as dangerous. Here's what the numbers show.

I really wish media covering Trump's invasion of US cities would step away from this "Trump wants to fight crime, but how bad is it really?" framing. They obviously don't give a shit about local crime, but this manufactured narrative dominates all the coverage.

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

My quote of the day

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

Eleanor Roosevelt

It just occured to me that the people with money and power are freaking out because they know there's going to be a third Luigi

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023

Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

How JPMorgan Enabled the Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein

NEW: JPMorgan, the largest US bank, enabled the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.

The bank lent him money, created accounts for his victims, disregarded suspicious transactions and overruled employees who raised concerns.

Trump: “Invest in 🇺🇸!”

Also Trump:

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Your neighbor is not your enemy.

The billionaires are lying. Because it’s easier to pick our pockets when we’re fighting each other.

This is the second day in a row he’s said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.
