Ironic how the Epstein files were required to be released by law and the Trump admin just said "no thanks". What are we even doing here?

Greg Bovino is a nobody. Stephen Miller is a nobody. It doesn't matter how many people are fired and replaced as some kind of olive branch. 👉 You have to cut the head off the snake.

I have a personal story for you. In 2016, I was a big Sanders supporter in the primary. I volunteered for his campaign, went door to door, the works. When he lost, I had a hard time coming around on Clinton. I had spent months chastising her, viewing her as the enemy.

Authoritarian president sends federal troops to round people up and they kill a man legally armed and prevent any oversight of the event. Um, conservatives? Hello? Where are you? Oh right, you voted for this.

I too was hesitant before, I remember W being called a fascist every day. But this article breaks down in great detail the ways in which Trump is a fascist, and we should have no qualms stating as much.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

With the latest shooting in MN, it's a good reminder for us to pause and make sure we get the whole story. But what's not going to change is that someone died. I don't know how to make it stop. But it needs to stop.

REFORM voters turn up. They vote for authoritarianism. They vote for fascism. And they win — because you stayed home. Farage doesn’t rise on popularity. He rises on apathy. If fascists take power, don’t ask “how did this happen?” Ask who didn’t bother to vote. Vote. Or let them rule you.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Someone needs to make a meme of leftists being asked what happened on October 7th. Put a little stopwatch in the corner and see how long they last until they start talking about Israel again. 🤣

So many failures had to occur to enable Trump. From the electoral college, to the failure to impeach him, to the failure to indict and convict him... I'm just saying that of all the failures, the only one relevant to you and me is the people failing to vote for Democrats. Did you do your part?

The electoral college: intended to be the last check against 1) a demagogue who the people accidentally 2) majority vote for. For the electoral college to enable a demagogue who lost the popular vote is a pathetic perversion of the wisdom of the founding fathers.

Progressive policy is amazingly blind sometimes. "Calling to impoverish the white middle class" is not only surface level bad politics, but functionally and morally wrong. Race based policies intended to bring poverty? Are they trying to recreate Jim Crow in reverse? No wonder we lose all the time.

There is a non-zero chance that Trump flees to Russia after his term ends to avoid prosecution. His official reason would be that he tried his best and the evil Democrats just want revenge. But the optics would be oh so delicious. Was he actually a Russian agent who completed his mission? Oh boy.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Last year the US 🇺🇸 and EU 🇪🇺 agreed to a 15% tariff rate. People welcomed the certainty going forward. Now, Trump is threatening tariffs against EU countries again over Greenland. 🇬🇱 The rule of law means nothing to this president. The remedy has always been impeachment. ⚖️

Great title, great article.

Trump says Russia or China will take Greenland if the US doesn't. I don't even know how to respond to this level of ignorance. Does he know what NATO is? Hell, what an alliance is? The post-WWII lessons about changing borders by force?

One of the hard truths of this era is this: ⚖️ Our institutions eventually correct illegal behavior 🐢 But those corrections can take a long time ⏱️ The president can simply act faster than the system The remedy for a president who does not respect the law has always been impeachment.

How is a racist fascist pedophile not over the line for like 10 Republicans so that we can impeach him? Unless...

Posting this for posterity. The r/conservative subreddit seems to be sure that a Greenland invasion is off the table. Let's hope they're right.

"Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here" These people have no shame and they really should.

I think the ICE murder was premeditated. He switched the phone to his left hand, walked in front of the car, and shot her when she moved. I'm usually pretty pro-police, but this thug needs to be held accountable.

The price of eggs to fascism pipeline was a lot shorter than we expected.

If Trump gets regime change in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, screw it. Give him the Nobel peace prize.

Let’s call Trumps Administration a “Clictatorship” as they all are social Media Presidency with so many lies and misinformation.

The Venezuela and Greenland events are textbook narcissistic deflections from consequences (Epstein files). Be warned: 👉 This is a preview for when he is actually impeached If and when his impeachment finally comes, extreme caution needs to be taken to prevent the worst of his narcissistic rage.

Inside every conservative there are two wolves...

Mitch McConnell is a coward. He knew perfectly well what Trump represented and still voted to acquit after January 6th. They had a yes or no vote on allowing Trump to run again. They calculated that he was done and they turned their focus to the midterms. Absolutely pathetic.

Great article about the resurgence of war in this period. I swear, our failure to remember how horrible war can be is sad. Voters vote based on who they'd rather have a beer with instead of matters of life and death.

We failed as voters. We, as a people, came together and elected Trump again. That includes the Trump voters, the Harris voters, the third party voters, and the non voters. Next time you think about snubbing Democrats, think about how you're a part of something bigger. Go vote. For Democrats.

New Epstein photo released, it all makes sense now about Maduro...

🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪 Many thoughts about Maduro. 1) Can you imagine a covert operation to capture a head of state and hold them in prison? 2) It's so perfectly Trumpian: It's personal, limited in scope, 100% illegal, no plan or theory. 3) What happens next? They put Maduro on trial? 4) Venezuela is better off.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise. Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

Saw a conservative on twitter comparing this to Elon's nazi salute. Ahem. Elon Musk regularly posts racist commentary and has the sense of humor of a 15 year old. Elon's nazi salute was obviously intentional, combining an edgy joke and his actual white supremacist ideology.

Happy new year! 🎉 My wishes for this year are for the tides to finally turn against Trump, this administration, and this MAGA movement. Their detachment from reality can't continue for forever.

Great article. To hear the religious justifications behind decades of US policy is so strange to me. They're talking about the end of the world? Why is anyone listening to these people?

Dear Trump voters: #YouKnew You knew he was ignorant, you knew he was divisive, you knew he was a sexual assaulter, you knew he was a child predator, you knew he was a racist, you knew he's a con... So why did you vote for him?

First Romney says we should tax the rich, now MTG says Trump is needlessly divisive. What's next? They'll realize they're destroying the foundations of the country they supposedly love? Unserious clowns. 🤡

Conservatives are worse, but leftists are amazingly dumb sometimes.

The people are supposed to be the ultimate check in a democratic system. They are the one thing sitting above the president. The people failed when they elected Trump. We failed.

With the most recent strike against ISIS in Nigeria, the number of countries threatened or attacked by this admin increases yet again. How many now? Canada Mexico Greenland Panama Iran Syria Venezuela Nigeria The peace president is pretty bad at peace.

Modern Christmas is so quintessentially American. Combining Jesus with a consumer holiday and a mascot from Coca-Cola is just picture perfect. 🎄🎁🧑‍🎄

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise." I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Third-party voters fundamentally misunderstand that they can't exclude themselves from society. America elected Trump. We elected him. That includes the Trump voters, the Harris voters, the third-party voters, the non-voters, everyone. You didn't vote for him? That's right - but we did.

PSA: Every file we see about Trump and Epstein could have been leaked prior to the election. "Oh no, but we have to follow the law" Trump breaks the law every day. No one under the Biden administration had any balls. Not the FBI, Garland, the DOJ, Jack Smith, none. Not a single ball between them.

The modern Republican party is a clown show. 🤡 It's really astonishing how they could fuck up so bad. They cut taxes for rich people for 40 years which exploded the wealth gap, and then turned to hardcore racism once it obviously didn't work. The Republican party needs to be disbanded. 🚫🐘🚫

The Trump Kennedy center, Trump class battleships, the Trump ballroom... I feel like one of the defining lines between civil societies and deteriorating democracies is this: Monuments being named after living people. What a clown show this is.
