It's time to turn the page on drama & conflict, fear & division. It's time for new leadership in America! We know exactly what to do because we've done it before & we will do it again. We use our power. We organize, mobilize, we educate & we advocate. Time to roll up our sleeves & get busy!

Did Epstein, with their consent, use Major Universities as part of his plot to reward and punish his young girl prey in the child sex trafficking ring at the heart of the Trump Administration? Legal AF reports on new bombshell evidence about NYU and Columbia that will make your hair stand on end.

If you look at all the latest the ICE videos and recruitment imagery, it's clear they are attempting to recruit people for a campaign of redemptive fascist violence.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 7h

Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

“It’s an issue of who he’s become — a vain autocrat who's building himself a gilded ballroom and falling asleep. He’s implicated in the Epstein affair by Epstein himself. It’s just too much. It’s grotesque. He’s become a grotesque figure.”

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

Yes, the answer is yes. ICE is completely out of control. Their actions in Minneapolis prove that.
