This hits at multiple levels. One is, wouldn't books about cats and squirrels actually be very popular with dogs? But then you realize, humans only ban books that other humans want to read. Which points out that banning books is really about thought control.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

White-collar crime (fraud, insider trading, etc) is now legal in America. Wall Street has captured the Department of Justice and as long as you pay off the Trump family, you can now steal as much as you want from the American people.

“Say what you will about Grima Wyrmtongue, but he’s always willing to whisper in your ear.”

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

This is all just so stupid. There will NEVER be any sort of "deal" or "agreement" with Iran on anything. They know Trump can never be trusted to hold up his end of ANY deal. And that's never going to change. Trump has no credibility left with anyone anymore.

If you’re still asking why Eric Swalwell got exposed now please read this.

I actually think they should try to pass articles of impeachment on a daily basis for literally everything he does that breaks that law. Like, instead of pretending it's not political, use it as a vehicle to make it clear just how extraordinarily corrupt this asshole is.

Days after threatening to wipe out an entire civilization the President is now using this unconstitutional war to hock stocks on social media. Someone in his Administration is profiting off this abuse of power.

Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.

Ask him if he's this fucking dumb at work.

He said the quiet part out loud. You work for us, not him, Blanche.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Set aside for the moment that non-citizen voting is neither an actual problem nor something almost anyone supports. This is the MAGA worldview in a nutshell: “If the people I don’t like get what I have, I won’t be special anymore.” We should all be better than this.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

2024 was the most bizarre fucking election in history cause 90% of what I heard from swing voters wasn’t at all the shit he was talking about (tariffs!!!), instead they were talking like they came out of a time warp from 2015 “Durr he a businessman he gon run duhh country like a business!🤤”

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

Isn’t it interesting how Random Capitalism can actually have its intended effect of making the message seem important? I think it works because it seems like it must be written by a child or illiterate person, so you can imagine how much effort it must have taken them, hunting and pecking.

Evergreen headline

I'm expecting a wheelbarrow-full of pardons for insider trading on January 19, 2029. Note that the prospect of those pardons helps to keep subordinates in line. Corrupt-cop style, make sure that lots of people get a little taste, then make clear that the pardon depends on continued loyalty.

Trump just said the quiet part out loud. He told Republicans to block a deal that would pay TSA agents, so he could force the SAVE Act through. I hope TSA workers realize Trump is holding their paychecks hostage.

I think we should offer Trump exactly as much grace as he offers everyone else

So their big plan is to increase the birth rate by threatening women with a literal knife, because that is going to want to make them have more kids? SMDH

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Trump: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

I was thinking about this photo when a horrific realization hit me. Which is that some rich parents actually choose private school because they want their money to give them power over the school, allowing their hellspawn to escape accountability for ongoing lawlessness, as is their birthright.

After the midterms, a lot of people are thinking about impeachment, but I think it could be heart warming to think further ahead than that. After all these war crimes, doesn't it seem like the only way to make up to Iran and the world is to let Trump stand trial in an Iranian court?

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

They should just go ahead and rename it the Department of War Crimes.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

I have a really great and YUGE reason for attacking Iran and I'll tell you what the reason is in two weeks, per usual. ~ Donald Trump, pedophile and idiot Thank you, sir. That is most generous. Sorry we bothered you with such a silly question. We should be ashamed of ourselves. ~ @cbsnews.com

I tweeted this out... *last decade*. Go back and look at your copy of Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan, 2019) to see how what is happening today came to pass.

Kinda funny how "genocide" was important enough that it's all we were allowed to talk about for 2 years, important enough to tank a US presidential election & doom the country to fascism, but now there are "other battles to fight"

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

When Pam Bondi was Florida's Attorney General, and was busy ignoring Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, much like now, she took a $25,000 bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into consumer fraud at Trump University. Donald knew she'd be a corrupt US AG and do as she was told.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

Project 2025 at work. Bury Black farmers with tariffs, force them to sell everything off, and have them get bought up by the oligarchs. It's why Vance and his buddies built an app to make it easier to buy up those family farms for pennies on the dollar.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

ICYMI: Child Abducted By Donald Trump Found in Cage in Texas

How is anything the orange skid mark says breaking news? If you didn’t already know he was racist, I’d recommend listening to him speak for just five minutes and you will no longer be confused.

A lot of our problems stem from Republican politicians publicly saying things they know are untrue, and we know they know they are untrue. Maybe politicians should always be “under oath” while in office, so that they can be liable for perjury, at least when they are speaking to a crowd or online.

NO TAXPAYER BAILOUTS FOR THE CRYPTO SPECULATORS AND CON ARTISTS. If you gambled and lost, don’t ask the American people to bail you out. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I was just randomly looking up a guy I used to work with, and the first link I clicked was to a charity/foundation in his name, and I thought, LOL, I wonder if that means he's in the Epstein files. Then I move on, and the next link is an article about him being in the Epstein files...

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

They literally threatened to arrest me yesterday and literally backed down instantly.
