They’re press, they’re in the same danger as everyone else. Imagine one sentence in that article being used to Devine is insufficiently loyal to Maga because that how it works in dictatorships. Franco and Mussolini disappeared their friends, too.

That’s an hilarious article but the “research” is weak to say the least. He confuses John of Patmos with (possibly) “John the divine” It’s a stretch to argue John would have been more influenced by an alleged passage in The Republic, than the brutal oppression of Christian communities.

@nypost.com You guys are going to be victims of this administration sooner or later. Publishing garbage like this is not going to save you from the crackdown & collapse that’s already started.

We’re working to shut down DC. Millions on the streets. We’d like to do it right after the Epstein files are released.

I’m watching Season 9 episode 12 of South Park Maga boy CArtman. Tries to round up and deport hippies from his town. I’m thinking this is possible now.

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

The President of the United States just threatened to arrest Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. We can't stay silent in the face of this dangerous, anti-democratic rhetoric.

What’s Pam Bondi hiding behind her tired lies? The Epstein Pedo files

Bart Stratton @bartfree.bsky.social · 10h

Pam Bondi doesn’t represent We, the People and she scared of answering our Senators’ questions.

Bart Stratton @bartfree.bsky.social · 10h

Pam Bondi struck out at the Senate hearing yesterday. Took the 5th & remained silent when asked if there were photos of Trump with underage, topless kids. Couldn’t provide a legal theory for why Nat. Guard or troops should be in Il.
Couldn’t provide facts that “the left” had interfered In Vermont

Republicans fought immigration reform for years. I thought it was to exploit labor, turns out it was racism.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Imagine looking 15 million Americans in the eye and saying, “Sorry! I simply must fuck your life up totally because billionaires aren’t rich enough and our cult leader is a child rapist.”

That is everyone in the #GOP Congress.

Call them.
Everyday.
