Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

military occupation of American cities
Use of military war tactics to besiege & terrorize tenants in an apartment building in Chicago, detaining them for hours without charge or due process
Use of the “justice” dept to go after his perceived enemies

None of this is normal.

Next: martial law!

trump’s retribution on full display. trump is a thug who’s using the “justice” department to go after all those who held him to account for all of his criminality.

The Nobel Committee should just give the peace prize to the big “id “. If he doesn’t get it, he will be so enraged that he might actually go to NYC & shoot someone on 5th Avenue! He might drone strike Norway! He might grab more women by the…!

People who are against fascism are ANTI-FASCISTS!

Anti-fascists who protest PEACEFULLY against fascism are not radical terrorists.

An academic who TEACHES A COURSE about fascism is NOT a threat to America.

So glad we don’t live in Florida anymore. I used to love shopping at Publix. Why are the gop so fixated on guns? Why are they always so full of fear, when they are the ones who threaten & hurt others?

crochic99.bsky.social @crochic99.bsky.social · 19h

trump proves he deserves to be a laughing stock! He’s desperate to prove he can measure up to President Obama when it’s obvious to everyone, that next to Obama, trump will always be inadequate & insignificant.

Trump has gotten away with violently trying to overthrow the government. Whatever Epstein and his accomplices had on him must be far worse than what we already know and what's in the Epstein files. Trump has gotten away with so much yet he's terrified of Epstein. The truth will come out eventually.

At what point does the threat of a permanent occupying military force in American cities go beyond what is legal? The only “insurrection” that has been committed by anyone, happed on Jan 6, 2021 and that was by a murderous throng of maga cultists who were invited to such action by trump!

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.
