It needs to all come out. Republicans, Democrats, men, women. Who was involved? And why weren’t they thrown in jail 20 yrs ago?

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone:

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.

DHS is buying massive warehouses across the country designed to imprison ~100K people. Documents show they include mass shower facilities, incinerators for medical and death waste, hardened structures, defensive barriers, and eight-foot walls. What does that sound like to you?

The thing that makes the most sense at the moment is that the President‘s organization overthrew Epstein with Netanyahu’s blessing and is now in control of that network. That’s how he can shake down the nation’s most prestigious institutions.

“They should have just complied” “They shouldn’t have resisted arrest” “They shouldn’t have impeded law enforcement”. Here’s a video of someone calmly putting both their hands in the air and complying. They get pistol whipped in the head. Do you get it yet? You can’t comply with fascists.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Just days after tear gassing a six month old baby and putting him in the hospital, ICE agents abandoned a six year old child in the streets of New Jersey. They kidnapped her father and left her wandering the neighborhood asking “Where’s Papi?” This is beyond cruel. It’s child abuse.
