The arrest of Andrew is a bigger problem for the Epstein Class than can be seen now. My latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

"Pam Bondi and Kash Patel lied under oath." Rep. Ted Lieu 19 Feb. 2026

My lovely neighbors are leaving, moving to Spain, where they have family. They're tired of the fear and madness directed at family members here. A 2nd child is on the way, and she said they crave peace. I'll miss them, but can't blame them. America is a cruel embarrassment now.

We recently lost LaMonte McLemore, founder of the Fifth Dimension. So I wrote a thing. www.culturesonar.com/the-fifth-di...

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Been noodling on the reason Epstein attracted so many dark, damaged people. My latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

@mcrouton.bsky.social Beth, are you OK? Haven't seen you here in a bit. Please just drop a word if you can...

The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*! 45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein. They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Just had to take Olive June to the v-e-t for her annual check. She was so mad at me that she refused the spray cheese I offered her as distraction while the doc and tech gave her the once over. She holds a grudge like a Sicilian. Pray for me.

Pretty much sums up the state of things. youtu.be/m-H0uIH5HHQ?...

After a conversation about trump that was literally insane, I had the topic for my latest Substack. Pretty sure I'm not alone. Please read, comment, "like," and share. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

Been digesting an earlier, difficult convo w/my trump- loving sister. We don’t usually talk politics and now I know why: I love her but she’s a f’g dumbass. I hate this timeline.

What's disturbing re the demented things trump says/posts, is how some STILL excuse it: "having fun," "making a joke," etc. I just had THE most disturbing convo w/my sister who STILL buys his crap. I literally couldn't respond to some of her crazier "claims." She's educated. And in a cult. I'm sad.

With this corrupt admin, there's never a lack of topics to write about. But THIS one can't wait. My latest Substack; please read, comment, like, share. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

Can anyone help buy a bale of hay for @mcrouton.bsky.social’s sanctuary? ♥️🐮

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

Had a thought. It's women that will take this regime down. The voters, organizers, etc. Our power has been rising. But in a wierdly dark way, women like Renee Good, Virginia Giuffre, Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem will also play a prominent role in the end. 2 very different sides, same result.

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community. I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

I don’t want to fucking see outraged videos from politicians. I want to see people calling emergency meetings at Congress. I want to see members of Congress arriving at Congress in their Sunday casuals actually doing something.

After he's gone, the harder work will be figuring out how to deal with friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues who are still somehow on board with this filthy administration. My latest Substack (please like, comment, share). open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

From a family member in Mpls: "It took me over 3 hrs to go 1 mile w/all the people at the protest. In -7 degree weather. Volunteers were giving out handwarmers - a very Minnesotan thing to do."

I suspect ICE came down on Minneapolis because they thought it would be easy to provoke rioting there & declare martial law. That has not proved to be the case. ICE is further escalating now as a last ditch effort to incite civil unrest. Hang on, Minneapolis. It’s always darkest before the dawn.

You need to listen to this whole thing.

We're at the point where all the practicing Wiccans in the world need to focus their energy and do a massive "binding" ritual on trump and his goons so they'll stop hurting others. Also, all the voodoo priestesses should get busy and throw some bad juju on this m'fer. He's earned it.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

3 yrs ago, after losing my 3 beloved kitties, one after another, this wee girl put her tiny paw in mine at the shelter. Game over. Happy Gotcha Day to Miss Olive June! (sound up)

BREAKING: Jack Smith will testify publicly to the House Judiciary Committee on Jan. 22 at 10 am.

Impeachment won't stop him. DOJ won't stop him. You know what will put every bit of his criminality into sharp focus? The Epstein Files. If ever we need a Pentagon Papers moment, this is it. Leak them and watch the world coalesce against him. He'll have no cover -- none at all. #LeakTheFiles

When everything is awful, there is still Jimmy Page. Happy birthday. youtu.be/DoIHoDg-cqM?...

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

This is probably the best breakdown of the shooting that I've seen, because it also shows the traffic. The cars going by, Renee Good signaling to let them go, so she was clearly trying to move, then the ICE officer decides to kill her. Good breakdown of the videos. substack.com/@jennbudd/no...

Yesterday, MAGA rioters were at the Capitol, lionizing their violence on 1/6. Talking about "gulags" and the like. Today, MAGA is attacking Renee Good. Their ability to create myth around this fat, orange, sr. citizen is...bizarre. Everything violent and cruel is now "good." I hate this time.

This year is America's 250th birthday. I suspect some aspects of 1776 may make a reappearance before its over. My latest Substack (please read, like, share). open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

September 1, 1939: Using lies as justification, Hitler broke international law by invading Poland. February 24, 2022: Using lies as justification, Putin broke international law by invading Ukraine. January 3, 2026: Using lies as justification, Trump broke international law by invading Venezuela.

What a relief to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. Count me among those optimistic that 2026, America’s 250th anniversary year, will be the opportunity to prove that most Americans won’t let a depraved and malignant despot destroy our beloved country and end our democratic project. Happy New Year!

Just found and dabbed on an essential oil blend I forgot I had, heliotrope and water lotus. It is sending me...places. And I'm listening to some forgotten 80s tracks. It's like legit time traveling.

The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found. I also confirmed there are now 332.

Came to me in the shower just now. Maybe I'll sing it to my MAGA relatives at dinner today.. .🎶"I'm dreaming of a clot Christmas/because the Orange Turd has to go There are people missing/and teens he's kissing This crime and corruption really blows..."🎶

This is a hard night for a lot of folks. A better Xmas song. youtu.be/2y3J46DhoL0?...
