My mother shared the spiritual abuse they suffered in residential schools. This is the same, a worship of something evil. There was no difference, just different children. They never believed our children were even human. Its a difficult time for many of us as the stories echo now.πŸͺΆ

The fact that an elected official and her spouse and dog were killed by a man impersonating law enforcement should have immediately resulted in enforcing rules against masks and for uniforms. These guys are indistinguishable from cosplayers with access to a local army surplus store.

Oh darn, jeez, if only there was a precedent for Trump screwing people on payments due... oh wait!

Are they hiding a Trump snuff film in those files?

I want to know.

No, I do not, in any way, put that beyond Trump.

A snuff film is premeditated 1st degree murder. Punishable by death in many states.

California’s minimum wage is $16.90, still too low but over twice the federal MW. The GOP screamed and wept that we were β€œdestroying the economy”, but since then we’ve gone from the 5th largest economy in the world to the 4th, and steaming ahead!

White people are putting Mexican flag stickers on their cars to get pulled over and waste ICE's time.
They call it "ICE fishing."

Just like Piggy did with Covid. Ignore it, let people die, and hope it goes away. That is not policy. That is stupidity.

The Predatory Hegemon Ever since Donald Trump first became U.S. president, in 2017, commentators have searched for an adequate label to describe his approach to U.S. foreign relations. Writing in these pages, the political...

β€œThe Trump administration appears to believe it can prey on other states forever, and that doing so will make the United States even stronger,” writes @stephenwalt.bsky.social. But β€œpredatory hegemony contains the seeds of its own destruction.”

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

How many boxes need to be checked for a banana republic dictator wannabe to actually gain the oligarch throne?

So far:

β€’ Became filthy rich robbing the US
β€’ Formed FΓΌhrer's 'police' force
β€’ Invaded states paramilitarily
β€’ Elections takeover begun
β€’ Unchecked power sought
β€’ Executions begun

A news article displays a photo of a person in a dark face covering and blue jeans being led away by two heavily armored officers in tactical gear, one wearing a gas mask, on a city street. The article's headline reads: "ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises," with the photo caption stating "ICE in action in Portland."

Employees of a system built on exploitation did not expect to be included in the exploitation.

Well well well. Looks like they were correct. They just lied about who it was.

Yep, that, too.

And fuck the DOJ sideways with a rusty pitchfork for releasing the names of a shit ton of the victims. They’re knowingly putting targets on these brave victim’s backs so a bunch of pardoned J6er/MAGA incel crazies will do their dirty work for them.

This is a huge coverup by our own administration…. They are doing everything they can to get rid of witnesses and at the same time- hiding the abusers. This is going to be the thing - that IF we can expose the perpetrators- it will change everything about how our society operates. It will lay bare-

So. If everything in the Epstein files is true. The president of the United States is a violent rapist. And a serial killer.

The overwhelming majority of Americans hate Trump's guts. Any normal person would react, well, normally. Not Trump. He has spent his entire life being hated and, as a result, has developed some really twisted and dangerous coping mechanisms. He'll burn down the country before he ever gives in.
