Nonprofits are the janitors of capitalism.

We literally exist to clean up the messes created by greed and rugged individualism.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

She alleged in the past that it was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak but we can’t know that for sure because Trump, Bondi, Patel and Johnson are hiding this person’s identity from the public by blocking release of the Epstein files.

Whoever it is.

For some reason.

Mike Johnson’s not a Speaker; he’s a spokesman. The House doesn’t move until Trump says fetch.

Johnson won’t bring the House back until Trump wants them back.

“The great irony is, of course, that 🦆 is the son of an immigrant, the grandson of an immigrant, & married to an immigrant...

In fact, two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.”

No Kings 2 was a huge success. 7M strong. Zero arrests. If you invoiced in advance payments post Monday at the start of banking hours in the location of your respective Antifa chapter HQ. Billing deadline is 10/31 (paganism) same for reimbursements—don’t forget to attach receipts! See y’all for NK3!

I know we've gotten jaded to this, but his utter lack of empathy still shocks. 50,000 people is mentioned only in comparison to 1,200 and is written off because they will be replaced with younger people? He talks about people they way a beef processor talks about cattle.

Trump: "Israel can say that 'we killed 50,000' and so you'd say it's a whole net set of people. And it is. They get replaced by other people. Young people."

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

When you compare the signs at No Kings to the signs at Trump rallies, it's almost unfair how much cleverer witty Antifa is compared to tiring MAGA.

Maduro accuses WH of seeking regime change, stating the U.S. has sent in covert operations via the CIA under the guise of fighting drugs. He's declared “maximum preparedness” in response to the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, and warned of serious national mobilization if attacked.

TODAY: Democrats are proudly linking arms with communists and Soros-funded activists, demanding more money for illegals and left-wing pet projects. Meanwhile, they’ve voted 11 times to shut down the government.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.

Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.
