Acting AG Todd Blanche says he's working to install "roadblocks" to prevent Democrats from prosecuting Trump and his associates in the future

Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion.

Breonna Taylor would have been 33 years old today..... If she hadn't been murdered by Louisville police officers.

"The study found that resettled refugees contribute $6 billion more to the U.S. economy than they take out. Per year. The Trump administration did exactly what you’d expect: They suppressed the study, and then they lied about it."

"Because I know, as a historian, we have done it in the past, and what has made the difference between doing it and not doing it, is having people like me, and probably all of you, committed to getting up the next day..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytlm... @hcrichardson.bsky.social @hcrhq.bsky.social

Trump celebrates pride month 🌈

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

Sleepy Joe Biden would like a word…

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

This Republican ad attacking Ken Paxton for using secret Uber alias “Dave P.” to hide his affair is still up on YouTube.

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

The GOP is a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Trae Crowder nailed it! Texas voters now have a clear choice between James Talarico & Ken Paxton. One is talking about service, integrity & the future. The other comes with years of controversy & scandal! Texas deserves better! #TurnTexasBlue #JamesTalarico #TraeCrowder #TexasPolitics #SheShed

Wow

In 32 days he becomes 1st American man facing court over Epstein files, not because he’s in them but because of "crime" of organizing an Epstein Files Egg Hunt in Manhattan, NY to expose Epstein class. Follow his Insta @disrupt politics so u don't miss a name n demand justice 4 victims #epsteinfiles

Ken Paxton is heading back to the same courthouse where he was caught pocketing a $1,000 pen from a security checkpoint this time for his divorce trial. This is the man who is asking Texans for their vote for a Senate seat! #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AtSGhW5QuTy6...

😂🤪

Painfully obvious, learn from history, it will save lives.

It's still a thing and it isn't going away #EpsteinFiles

A dozen Canadian aid workers were kidnapped and tortured by Israel and not a single government official has called on them or inquired about the abuse that they suffered. Meanwhile the Israeli lobby are welcome insiders on parliament hill. Israel is a terrorist state.

This Sunday marks the 105th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Imagine the terror as a mob of more than 10,000 white people descended on this thriving Black community in a “coordinated, military-style attack.” 300 murdered. A town in ruins. Justice still denied. abcnews.com/US/fight-jus...

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

Since they tried to bury it, you know what to do. Video: xcancel.com/patriottakes...

#KenPaxton The GOP is trying to scrub this from the web, you know what to do. @dcombes.bsky.social @psychopete.bsky.social @malena.bsky.social @catdamama.bsky.social @jaybird54.bsky.social meidasnews.com/news/6-minute-crooked-ken-paxton-republican-attack-video-resurfaces

Always remember, Fox News paid out $787 million for spreading lies about the 2020 election.

The Republican Party wants to redefine manhood as cheating on your spouse and giving leniency to pedophiles.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

URGENT

ICE was "supposedly" created to protect the country from terrorism, and it turns out that ICE is the terrorists. Foreign interference, and ICE must end. It's a corrupt institution.

Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

Urgent. Please repost.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

In this newsletter I outline important actions to take. 1. Submit a comment opposing the rule change. 2. Contact state legislators to ensure states are engaged with the impact at the state and local level. 3. Contact members of Congress. 4. Spread awareness. This rundown is a great source:

Big courtroom win for Rep. Joyce Beatty, reversing Trump's renaming of the Kennedy Center and halting Board plans to shut it down for two years, with the Court holding that the Board failed in its fiduciary duty to look out for the Center's best interests. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This scene of #ICELawlessness is terrifying.Trump's ICE savages are brutalizing American citizens & torturing detainees. Our neighbors are being disappeared. Trump's thugs are putting people in conditions so bad that they are willing to starve to death in protest. This is our country. Speak out.

Hate, racism, corruption, stupidity... The greatest danger lies in their ability to work together #MAGACULT Ex-MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair explains why she was offered a "substantial" sum to "not speak" about her time in the MAGA "cult." Thread 1/5🧵

AI sucks

i have nothing but spitting contempt for people who look at this political movement and downplay or deny its open and explicit white nationalist

Ken Paxton is a cheat, a narcissist, a bigot, and a bully. He’s emblematic of the Trumpian turn in our politics. And we’re going to get a lot more like him. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/hell-is-empt...
