Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

One of the things people will be protesting this Saturday at No Kings is Scott Bessent sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina while Trump plays golf and Congress says nothing.

That isn’t “hating America.”

That is America First.

Republicans want bailouts for oligarchs.

"I do think he needs help – and I don't think anybody around him, on a day-to-day basis, wants to get him any help, because they have more power based upon his diminished capacity."

““A fish rots from the head down” is a saying that deserves some reflection when reading this Politico story about the texts and emails between a group of young Republican leaders.”

The tip of the iceberg

Each day, I read the news and quickly find myself in a state of unsurprised disbelief.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

In July, a subcontractor died in a workplace accident.
In August, Fort Bliss began accepting immigrant detainees.
In September, ICE’s own inspectors found that conditions at the facility violated at least 60 federal standards for immigrant detention.

I was also glad to see today, the White supremacists, AKA, Young Republicans whose leaked texts were so vile, all ended up getting fired from their jobs. 🇺🇲 Enough with the hate already!

Are we going to keep pulling the military and National guard away from real jobs, leaving companies short handed while they get deployed to different cities to walk in herds and do absolutely nothing they were trained for, while not being paid and living off food bank donations? Truly moronic.

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

Let’s be clear: when ICE tackles people in Home Depot parking lots, it’s not just federal abuse—it’s corporate liability. Property owners owe a duty of care. If you let armed agents assault customers, you’re complicit. #AhujaCongress2026 #CA32 #AbolishICE

Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 1d

Imagine with us: A sea of people. A vast ocean of individuals standing up for democracy and demanding #NoKings in the United States.

That's Saturday.

Now, imagine this: What if everyone one of those people *also* called and emailed their representative and demanded impeachment and removal?

ICE is torturing detainees
While the acts themselves already constitute torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, the patterned, state-directed, and concealed nature of ICE’s restraint practices could — under international legal definitions — meet the threshold for crimes against humanity

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
