Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border chief, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later closed by Trump administration officials.

🧵 THREAD: Draw The Line - National Day of Action happening RIGHT NOW across Canada ✊ Today, communities from coast to coast are standing united for people, for peace, and for the planet. Here's what's happening on the ground... #DrawTheLine @350canada.bsky.social 📍Toronto

"Since Donald Trump returned to office, I have noticed a phenomenon at my high school that I call the 'new chill girl'," writes high school student Naomi Beinart for the Guardian US. "The girls I talked to say it’s riskier to be outspokenly blue."

Welcome to the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧 Never before in U.S. History has a President been acknowledged by another country in this unique way! 🇺🇸 At Windsor Castle, in London & all across the land, people are United! ✊ They all want to see the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles, ASAP! 👀

I refused to placate the bully. Then I refused to placate the institutions who placated the bully. Then I refused to placate the shills who placate the institutions who placate the bully. I'm still standing; the rest are down. Never placate the bully.

Many Republicans agree there is a pedophile cabal; what they disagree on is who is involved. Horror at Epstein/Maxwell is one of few points of shared agreement across the political spectrum. That's one reason so many officials from both parties worked to suppress the story and prevent justice.

The media did listen to me. They went out of their way to suppress parts of what I said, and I wrote four bestsellers anyway. But with this threat, it's not a matter of listening -- it's a matter of people who had power acting on what they heard. They refused to do their jobs. That's the problem.

Yes, I don't think that'll work, because the oligarchs leading the worst political initiatives have finances that exist outside the normal economy and even outside the economy of the 1%. Boycotts won't work as well when they WANT to destroy everything. Building new things is a better strategy now.

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

They are anti-facts. If an inconvenient fact is found, they bury it in a chorus of lies. They’re propagandists — and judging by their unhinged reaction to Lorenz’s straightforward article, there’s likely a worse story in terms of their payoffs

"FBI informant" is a euphemistic way to say "collaborator with corrupt US government institutions to streamline organized crime"

Extra ironic when so many Texans are punching up at their own officials at great risk to their safety. Where's the solidarity and recognition of that?!

New article! On the authoritarian attack on higher education and the exploitative practices that preceded it: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-end-ti...

There is no reason to believe I'm prone to overreaction when my analyses have borne out for decades. Sometimes misogyny and a perception of female scholars as "hysterical" prompts these misguided insults.

"'Red' and 'blue' states were manufactured to create monocultures out of a multifaceted nation in which most people belong to neither party." -- THEY KNEW (2022)

These people are interesting. You know exactly where they would have stood during slavery -- "Oh it's fine, as long as it happens over *there*, where I can't see it. Why aren't the slaves running away? How lazy." Also note their "let them all die" doesn't apply to NYC giving Trump, Giuliani etc...

There’s a huge undercurrent of racism in liberal “abandon the red states” rhetoric because what they call “red states” are GOP hostage states with large Black populations. That’s who Dems really want abandoned. This is how they hurt people while faking morality. Blue Sky often mirrors this dynamic.

"It has long been obvious that the fossil fuel lobby has a powerful influence on the Liberal Party of Canada. However, it is truly amazing to see how quickly they have gained influence over this new Prime Minister." - @drlorileeoates.bsky.social niche-canada.org/2025/07/04/t...

They haven’t gone silent though! That’s my point. Some left Trump/QAnon altogether. Others are calling him out and are very angry. Others are, as you note, hypocritical lackeys who deny the facts. It’s not a monolithic movement, because it was a contrived one that then took on a life of its own.

I wrote about this in my book THEY KNEW. While preemptive narrative inversion was a topdown operation, after I published HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, I heard from Trump voters — largely in QAnon — who abandoned Trump after they read the Epstein docs and mafia info in my book. They hadn’t known about it.

It’s everyone’s fault. This information has been out there for decades, and politicians ignored it or used it — and are using it — opportunistically, with the victims’ pain irrelevant to them.
