LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president. RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

1. I hope you will read this thread to the end to understand why I’m sharing it. I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that Erika Kirk and Candace Owens are meeting today.

The message that Trump and Marco Rubio are sending is that America does not care about human rights and are all too happy to punish those who do. Even from a purely self-interested perspective, this makes no sense as it diminishes America's soft power in the world.

The reddest states have the highest levels of teenage pregnancy and the highest levels of sexually-transmitted disease

I didn’t think today could get worse.

NEW WORLD DISORDER

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit. Trump is endangering America.

This…

Teargassing journalists isn’t protecting our community. Shooting protestors in the face 3 times with “less lethal” munitions isn’t protecting our community. Standing guard over their concentration camps isn’t protecting our community. It’s collaboration with the American Gestapo.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Because it’s not getting reported on enough: Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun. He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

Crockett reminded them and stated the pure clear FACTS. This is who should run our country. The rest do not have the spine to fight like she does. Jasmine thank you for showing how it’s done. WHAT A BADASS. MEN this is how it’s done. Everyone learn from her. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrqP9DAH/

It is almost always a lot less costly to oppose an aggressor as soon as possible, than to appease an aggressor and hope that'll be the end of it.

ICE = terrorism

Of all the people who were murdered in order to protect powerful people, Epstein was one of the most murdered.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Listen, all I’m saying is that I’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein than I have of Donald Trump playing with his son Barron.

@brigittepellerin.bsky.social I want to travel to Hawaii to see friends and to be warm. I will suffer rather than give any money to the U.S. Locals wont rise up against Trump and fascism if it’s business as usual. It would be like visiting Nazi Germany while people are being rounded up. Can’t do it.

They want our kids dead. Brown University is the latest proof. After Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, and Uvalde, Trump and the GOP weakened gun laws and flooded the country with weapons. Most shooters used legal guns, under laws Republicans defend. This isn’t failure — it’s policy. READ MORE ⬇️

“As the deadly attack unfolded at Brown University, leaving students hiding under desks and reeling as gunshots rang out, the scene was eerily familiar for at least two students. Years earlier, Mia Tretta, 21, and Zoe Weissman, 20, had both survived school shootings.”

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Embracing Nazis is Republican "patriotism".🙄

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

💥🪧Huge protest tomorrow outside Viktor Orbán’s office after another week of damning evidence of sexual and physical abuse in child care and youth detention centers. It's Hungary’s own Epstein-style scandal, fueled by wild rumors. This new related video has already been seen by millions.

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

And the students are doing this while the murderer is on the loose, and their friends and neighbors have been ordered not to leave their rooms or homes. Even the local hospital is on lockdown right now. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

"The Trump Administration plans to abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions at the Dept of Veterans Affairs this month... "The cuts come after a reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 V.A. employees this year..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Beneath the way the Trump administration has spoken to Denmark and Greenland lies a threat,” says Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen, professor of political science at the University of Copenhagen. Greenland and Denmark could very well be next in line to come under intense military pressure from

Trump has long been surrounded by figures with deep financial ties to Russia.

ICE snatched a human rights hero. Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices. On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Trump DOS official Sarah Rogers seeks out and elevates German Neo Nazi identified in Russian documents as a reliable stooge of the Kremlin. This is a core objective of US foreign policy according to the National Security Strategy.

🚨SCOOP: Google gave lawmakers gifts up to $2,000 to attend a secret perk-filled summit touting AI & data centers as lawmakers consider AI dereg & data center subsidies, according to documents reviewed by @levernews.com. Lawmakers got hotel rooms costing up to $500 per night & a Wrigley Field party.

Remember, Trump tried to pick Matt Gaetz — widely suspected of raping underage girls — as AG. Then, Trump picked Pam Bondi — who reportedly killed Florida’s Trump University case in exchange for a $25,000 donation. All for PRECISELY this moment — to cover up the Epstein case.

i mean... uh... well... lordy. this defies summation. incredible story. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The heartbreaking tragedy of what this means for life… my dread is off the charts when I think about this.

www.selc.org/news/elon-mu... Memphians were left in the dark. Plans moved at speed w/o any public input. Councilmembers were surprised when it was announced in June. It began operations just weeks later. Community members are left wondering who is calling the shots here. AMANDA GARCIA, SR ATTY

There is bipartisan agreement that AI companies need regulations to address the risks to our communities, especially our children. This executive order would strip essential powers from states that protect their citizens. We’re reviewing all our options.

Gunshot/school shooting survivor @miatretta.bsky.social sent me this photo of us taken after the 13th national vigil for all victims of gun violence- just this morning. Now she is in lockdown at Brown University. Please 🙏 for her & commit to joining the fight to end this madness!

A mass shooting has occurred at Brown University. Students received a text message reminding them to “run, hide or fight”. This is America. Remember this when Erika Kirk cried crocodile tears on her CBS Town Hall. Remember Charlie saying children dying was an “acceptable price to pay”
