The President of the United States is a child rapist & batshit crazy malignant narcissist…

He doesn’t want to go to jail so he never wants to leave office…

He is trying to foment civil war so he can evolve a police state & forego elections…

BECAUSE. HE. IS. A. CHILD. RAPIST.

since state police were arresting Protesters at Broadview earlier it prolly wont be them. the lack of any accountability or law enforcement to actually make these ppl follow the laws and or charge them, is shameful. this video was a hit and run. that is manditory arrest. this is all bs.

This is a direct violation of a federal judge's order yesterday not to arrest press. They are also violating orders that they must identify themselves. Time for contempt. If the US Marshals won't do it, the Illinois State Police or Chicago cops should.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
