The "steal the election insurrection" started well before J6th w/Trump's fake elector scheme, his find the votes call, rallies repeating the big lie & Roger Stone organizing w/fake militias. Technically the insurrection never ended bcz no legal remedy for inciters/aiders/comforters has been found.

Trump "unilaterally" "declaring" "war" on peaceful Portland. Treason is never in season. What in the Epstein files is wrong with this illegitimate regime? "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against the[ United States] is guilty of treason…”

There’s a reason I focused on Portland when I reported a big story on political violence two years ago. (1/4)

Trump sentences himself and Stephen Miller to face federal capital punishment charges with new trumped up executive order signed yesterday.

ICE is abusing/torturing/disappearing/killing people using our tax dollars and in our name.

Trump to face death penalty charges under executive order he just signed.

really wish more people read/ engage with this book www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/elain...

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

I'm sorry but I refuse to Ask Jeeves what a groyper is

So the political red hat party is no longer the party of hat-red, intolerance, & division after decades of only sowing hatred, intolerance, & division? Instead they're somehow the woke party fighting for veterans, equity, inclusion, diversity, & accessibility? How willfully ignorant can people get?

the cover up(s)

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

The proper and literally only remedy for the scale of illegality, constitutional violation, & grand corruption engaged in every day, day in and day out, by the Trump regime is their removal from power

An independent judiciary provides an essential check on abuse of power. If Trump were to successfully cow courts, our entire system of government would be undermined, and our rights would be forever less secure.

Boooooooooo

/4 SCOTUS has lost the presumption of regularity -- the mandate of the legal heavens -- through its shadow docket actions, which by invoking SCOTUS' equitable discretionary powers have obliterated the pretext that SCOTUS is merely calling balls and strikes, merely calling lines where they see them.

#SCOTUS all-but overruled a unanimous, 90-year-old precedent through an unexplained "administrative" stay this morning, and that's only the second-most-problematic thing it did before lunchtime.

New numbers show ICE is devouring US law enforcement: 1 in 5 US marshals, 1 in 5 FBI agents, half of all DEA agents, and over two-thirds of all ATF agents are now assigned to ICE enforcement. These are agencies with critical jobs they're now NOT doing. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-is-eat...

Bless the Epstein survivors who are speaking out. That level of bravery is something Coward McBone Spurs will never have.

Liz Stein, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, gave some important and powerful advice to other survivors of abuse - tell someone, if they don't listen tell someone else, do not remain silent. Her courage is incredible.

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

you really have to step back and admire it: they just released a winking SIGNED love note from the sitting US president to the most notorious pedophile sex trafficker in history, and nothing much is happening

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

No one believes that Trump didn't write that card and that isn't his signature. Why are we participating in this charade?

Donald Trump decried the Wall Street Journal's report of a letter he wrote to Jeffrey Epstein as "malicious and defamatory"—conceding that, if it were real, it would be pretty bad. "Guess what? It's real. And it's bad," @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

This happened yesterday as well. We can all agree, no matter who is in it- #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Senate Republicans just voted to block an amendment to release the Epstein files. What are they trying to hide and why?

If Charlie Kirk is a martyr then he died for Trump’s sins because nobody is talking about Jeffrey Epstein right now.

A fact.

"The logical endpoint of 21st-century America: An influencer shot to death at a school in front of a crowd of smartphones." Ryan is very good at his job. An excellent summary and analysis of the last 24 hours.

I’ve posted this before, but the GOP-led US senate report shows the core allegations of russiagate are fundamentally true, and the right wing has been working for years to obfuscate that in the public eye www.intelligence.senate.gov/2020/08/18/p...

The NIJ page on domestic terrorism research was removed today, now there's a notice on the main page reading: The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance.

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Throw the book at whoever killed Charlie Kirk—no matter who it is. And throw the book at whoever helped enable what Jeffrey Epstein was doing or profited from it personally, professionally, or financially—no matter who it is. I’m a rule of law guy, like any responsible citizen.

Remember the man by his words.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

anyone else thinking about Horst Wessel ?
