(1,2) I have often stated my belief that the Current Occupant of the White House lies about everything. Last night he posted this. He is either knowingly lying, senile, or both. HE WAS THE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 6TH. Biden was still a private citizen.

Hey MTG, Mike Johnson just told you to go get your shine box. That means you’re doing the right thing, btw.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Donald Trump just made clear that Russ Vought’s illegal “reductions in force” are targeted at Democrats, which means he is targeting their constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of association. Blatantly illegal actions.

Trump is using presidential power and his platform to do a giant pump and dump- hollowing out our country and taking its wealth.
Bond villain level stuff.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

The fact that scholars of fascism and anti-fascism have been leaving the country -- now including Mark Bray fleeing death threats -- should be a huge wake up call to the American public. They more than anyone know the warning signs and the direction we seem to be headed.
