NYC earlier today: Following yesterday's political-motivated indictment of Attorney General Letitia James by the fascist Trump regime, protesters in New York City rallied and chanted "Hands off Tish!" in support of her.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I am heartbroken that this is what our country has become. I’m aware we are not what I grew up thinking we are, but we are now definitely an authoritarian monstrous regime!

Crimes against humanity are being committed at these “detention facilities “ aka concentration camps. We need to continue to raise this issue. Share it with your friends and family. They need to know the truth!

Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 6h

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.
