Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Martial law that's what Trump is talking about. Call it what it is.

"When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled ‘made in Germany’; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, ‘Americanism.'" Halford E. Luccock- 1938

There is no "rule of law" if people are above the law. It is by definition rule by those above the law.

It isn't just that less than 1% of the Epstein files have been released; it's what hasn't been released and why. Financial records are what make a majority of high level prosecutions stick. They are easily traceable and show patterns of behavior. SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Trump is starting wars to justify emergency powers, not for oil or resources. The media and Democrats are misunderstanding the endgame once again (or on purpose).

If supply and demand actually drove the economy, half of the Forbes list would be goth girls.

Nicki Minaj is actually a perfect MAGA woman. She's an illegal immigrant married to a sex offender.

Republicans in Indiana are not standing up to Trump they are protecting the party. The new map would have cost them more seats with the kind of big anti-Trump swing we will likely see.

Total mask off Nazi moment for the worlds richest man.

A Republican has just endorsed collective bargaining as a way for people to improve their lives.

It's hard to overstate just how much the Epstein fight and the economy derailed the Fascist coup happening in America. The momentum and support for ICE and the Trump agenda is very weak compared to the aftermath of the Kirk killing. As long as we keep fighting they will defeat themselves.

I just found out that quokkas exist. I am delighted to discover such a cute animal and surprised they aren't posted everywhere all the time.

It's funny how often being too stupid to realize you have been wronged is mistaken for bravery and determination. Just the way it goes.

Kristi Noem just thanked Trump "you kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that." I keep trying to fit my absolute bewilderment and anger into a single post and just can't. North Korean generals would be embarrassed about this level of boot licking.

I have never seen Trump in a turtle neck before. Newsome must have really hit a nerve with the nussy stuff.

Trump's hierarchy of needs 1. Praise/Ego 2. $$$$$ 3. Loyalty 4. Child victims 5. McDonalds

I'm so tired of feeling physically ill from watching the news. Just another day of our pedophile president paling around with men who order executions of US citizens and helped finance/plan 9/11.

Trumps the kind of guy who gets kicked out of the assisted living facility for abusing the staff

If today's email releases are true. Bill "Bubba" Clinton may have received on separate occasions years apart blow jobs that altered the course of American history. A fitting legacy.

If you are ever in a hostage situation better hope Chuck isn't the negotiator. Not only are you dead. Your killer is probably getting a medal.

It's wild that America is STILL failing an open book test. Project 2025 continues to be the playbook and legacy media continues to act shocked when Trump follows it.

Hey Dems if you want to protect things from the Orange Menace all you have to do is rename it. Trump and the GOP would happily cut Medicaid, they would never touch the PG Beauregard Poverty Assistance Program.

Essentially the GOP has 2 loaded guns pointed at the American population rn. One is SNAP the other ACA funding. They are screaming wildly that the Dems must disarm them of one weapon so they can merely wound the public with the other.

Wake up Americans. Trump's ultimate goal is martial law and a permanent police state. If he has to starve millions to achieve the chaos and fear necessary for that to happen he will.

40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. They are not freeloaders they cannot get a job or provide for themselves. This GOP shutdown is soon going to be causing American children to starve and Republicans still won't care if it doesn't affect them directly. Basket of deplorables doesn't go far enough

When are people going to realize that the GOP never intends to open the government again? They want Trump to assume full control and implement martial law. That's way easier if there isn't a congress to interfere. The funds will still flow for the violent masked men terrorizing the country.

An example of how far we've regressed. Fern Gully was not a controversial movie when it came out in 1992. Today saving the rainforest and demonizing pollution would be called woke garbage by 40% of the country.

If ANTIFA was a terrorist organization it would be extremely dumb to announce how you planned on infiltrating their network.

There is no "rule of law" if there are people above the law.

Calling Elon an asshole is a insult to assholes. They actually get rid of waste.

I've started seeing this messaging pop up in right wing circles the past week or so. It's as predictable as it is terrifying. Trump's goon squad stationed at every minority polling station is probably something they are going to try.

Trump has been running for or been President for almost a decade now. In that time he has never come close to a fix for our health care system. The legacy media is once again pushing Trump's narrative and allowing him to weaponize his own incompetence.

It's insane that the Trump regime indicted the former FBI director for lying to congress the same week their guy blatantly lied to congress.

When governments have cowed the press and flooded social platforms with viral propaganda, Wikipedia has become the next target, and a more stubborn one. Read more: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Them: Charlie Kirk wasn't racist Me: Every time he talked about race it was in the context of white people being disadvantaged or victims. His whole job was getting white kids interested in great replacement theory. Them: 🤬 I'm going to get you fired

Would love to know on Facebook specifically how much did reported harassment increase following the death of the "civil debate and free speech champion"

You know the strongest approval you can give people who want to commit political violence? Pardoning those who commit it in your name.

Watching the Epstein victims today I had an overwhelming sense of dread. Trump is a sociopath whose health is failing. He will absolutely try to start a civil war if that's what he thinks will keep the Epstein topic out of the headlines.

This exact thought that people are "born criminals" has been used to justify many atrocities and that's exactly why you've heard it from this regime repeatedly in recent weeks. They plan on escalating the cruelty.

What's better than guns in the classroom? Actual killing machines!! Coming soon to your neighborhood, powered by Grok AI and Palantir. All hail our AI overlords!

These two men have proven one thing without a doubt. If you are born wealthy in America no amount of stupidity, lies, or fraud will limit your opportunities. You can fail upwards to the very highest levels of power as long as you have no shame.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

I hadn't seen this until today. Opening a consumable product is agreeing to terms and conditions. WILD

When younger generations wonder why the Boomers and Gen-X seem so easily indoctrinated they are really underestimating the effects of mass lead exposure

We're so far into fascism that Trump announcing a social credit system for American corporations went largely unnoticed. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

Basically every day for the past month I have found myself thinking about 1984 or directly quoting it as the US slides further into that dystopian direction. Can we just collectively decide to recreate LoTR instead?

The upcoming Trump/Putin meeting is less of a peace summit, and more of a working group on continuing the fascist transformation of America into a Russian ally.
