The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous. It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

From 2022-2024, the right trolled, threatened, ran hit pieces on partisan media, filed lawsuits, & launched congressional investigations against researchers as they spun a conspiracy theory about a “censorship industrial complex”. Now they are weaponizing that narrative w/ the power of the U.S. gov.

After Jan 6, the U.S. far right had to find a frame that could distract and shift blame from their election fraud lies. They settled on “censorship” — which made their lying villains into “free speech” heroes, and allowed them to target all of the people and orgs that tried to hold them to account.

Nina Jankowicz: “They’re not doing this because they have any evidence of censorship — they lost a Supreme Court case that made those claims… They’re doing this because the group of researchers and advocates have stood up to liars like Donald Trump and the platforms that enable them.”

AP writer Mary Clare Jalonick has a book coming out next month about January 6th. There are interviews with myself and some of my colleagues you wouldn't have heard from before. apnews.com/article/capi...

Hang the plaque!!!! #J6Plaque

Nothing about this is fair, but the judge could help right the matter

In new court filing, officers Dan Hodges and Harry Dunn argue judge must "compel Defendants to follow the law and install the January 6 memorial plaque is about making sure that history is not rewritten, and that the horror—and heroism—of that day is not forgotten" (MORE)

NEW: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Danny Hodges have filed their response to the government's arguments against hanging the January 6th plaque in the Capitol pursuant to federal law. I'll post a link to the full filing once it's on the docket.

Remember: it is a LIE that immigration is associated with crime (on the contrary), including undocumented. This isn't said enough. Connecting immigrants to crime is a foundational LIE. Always be skeptical of a policy or action based on this spin. Eg: siepr.stanford.edu/news/mythica...

@maryltrump.bsky.social: “[Donald Trump] is terrified. He knows his poll numbers are terrible. He knows his policies are unpopular... He knows on some deep level he’s losing his cognitive abilities at an alarming rate”

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

It's a shame that—after Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment—tonight the public won't get to learn about the vital work that @hrcberkeley.bsky.social Investigations Lab students have done using OSINT research to document abuses suffered by migrants the U.S. government sent to CECOT.

They want you to only see their fascist aesthetic propaganda reel of the torture prison Not an investigative report on it

They are innovating ways to do bad stuff

The state AGs who helped with Jan 6 are still with us. Landry (#2) is trying to seize Greenland. Paxton (#1) is running for TX Senate. And Andrew Bailey, successor to MO AG Eric Schmitt (#3), who carried on Schmitt's work, is now Deputy Director of the FBI. God help us. 4/

Impeachment proceedings now

Oh there’s an explanation

Whoops, forgot to redact Ivanka

Someone let me know how to reach Elise Stefanik, I have just the thing for her in this moment of frustration

They were doing their job what was required of them... "at least 187 of the prosecutors have been targeted in hundreds of online attacks by rioters or their supporters, urging punishments ranging from disbarment and firing to criminal charges."

Tell candidates you won’t vote for them in the primary if they don’t promise this on Day One

Don’t need this many redactions unless you are protecting traffickers and their clients

Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!” Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Oh look, open flouting of the clear letter of law and Congress’s intent Impeach and remove DoJ leaders until it’s done.

Requesting this as well

Hey so, i would encourage my fellow performers to not do any shows at the Kennedy Center until it reverts to it’s original name Thank you for your attention to this matter (yes I’ve already performed there so it’s an easier decision for me)

don’t understand why Jim Jordan is so afraid to let Jack Smith testify in public before his committee. He supposedly WEAPONIZED the federal govt against Donald J. Trump and his allies. Why won’t they bring that scoundrel who abused his power before the American people?!?

De-Trumpification is going to be a chapter in the book of America’s history someday, and it’s going to be very cathartic for those of us witnessing it

When you want the midterms to be a referendum on you and the names of the things you have named after yourself

NEW: We've tracked at least 33 pardoned January 6th insurrectionists who have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since the attack on the capitol. Four of them allegedly reoffended after Trump's pardon.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Trump is a lame duck with bad energy open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“January 6 was an attack on the structure of our democracy in which over 100 heroic law enforcement officers were assaulted... Exploiting that violence, President Trump and his associates tried to call Members of Congress in furtherance of their criminal scheme..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I take comfort knowing I will long outlive these poor plaques

He only got away with it because the Supreme Court let him

Impeach him the second you get a majority, imo. Let this guy lay it all out.

Yes

Motion to vacate when

Bad people cherrypicked the intemperate tweets of anon accounts and turned it into the narrative Jack P. is alluding to effortlessly Meanwhile the literal President and leader of their movement said this… and what can we do but endure it?

Trump is losing his powers. Today’s evidence:

Throw this is the face of every clown online saying “TDS” after today, they deserve to be shamed

Why would anyone be surprised the pipe bomber was MAGA? Like, presumptively, the culprit always has been

DAY AHEAD: Jan 6 police hero emerges as public advocate combatting “whitewashing” of history ===> youtube.com/shorts/cjDjY...

Officer Hodges 🫡

Here’s my list - Lady Liberty symbolizes openness and welcoming, while DHS notably does not - that airship has a swastika on the tail (not pictured, but definitely there)

See if you can spot what’s wrong with this picture

Steve Bannon’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein deserves even more scrutiny. Every day. Bannon has manipulated press coverage for years, even while being a superspreader for rightwing extremism and idiotic conspiracy theories. Reporting every day. Bannon + Epstein.

Authoritarians in power are weak, actually.

He could die, and then who could stop me from being installed
