Week 6 ‘26:
- ICE/CBP deny cruelty & accountability
- rest of the world investigates Epstein RE: ties to Israel, Moussad, Russia, etc.; US DOJ = crickets; no apology, accountability
- No bill for “unlawful orders” reps
- GA voter roles affidavit had election deniers as witnesses & no probable cause
Because I ran out of characters, I wanted to addend this:
- 4 black journalists were arrested for reporting on a protest under the KKK act (1A violation)
- child used as bait for ICE
- Trump mentioned 30k+ times w/most of his regime (Epstein)
- establishment Dems STILL tone deaf to we, the people.
Week 5 of ‘26:
- Epstein files (still) only part. released
- CBP/ICE draws guns on observers (still)
- FBI takes 2020 voter rolls from Fulton Co.
- Trump mentioned 5k+ times, w/ Putin mentioned 1k+ times, in newest Ep. release
- DOJ doxxed Epstein survivors
- ICE spoliated Pretti evidence

Just gonna say it.

It should be illegal for there to be 80+ races on one ballot. My head is spinning from days of looking into candidates. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I’m putting so much time and effort into this that I KNOW most people don’t.
Full stop, if you want people to be engaged and vote, it can’t be like this.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Turns out EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) is a true story. Not idle speculation or merely Kubrickian paranoia. That movie is about the catastrophic damage that happens when one merely 'brushes up against' the powerful. It's a terrible and ugly truth and we must face it collectively and courageously.

If Jeffrey Epstein is dead, the question doesn’t disappear with him. Predatory appetites don’t retire because one middleman is removed. Power, money, and access have always found ways to protect themselves.
Until those structures are dismantled and accountability is done then nothing will change.

This is how you know we’re in an autocracy. In the America I was raised in, you can say “F◽️K the President,” and move along with your day. Now you have to praise “dear leader” or get sent to the gulag.

Federal prosecutors in Texas are seeking to convict protesters on "domestic terrorism"-related charges. The chilling implication: anything that feels "at odds with this administration’s policies could be considered domestic terrorism," says @rlevinsonwaldman.bsky.social.
Trump wants to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists. This Texas trial will test his power.
A July 4 shooting at an ICE detention center could change the way the federal government prosecutes activists.

Rev. Jesse Jackson pushed our country to be the very best version of itself.

He was a true trailblazer, and his legacy will continue to inspire folks for generations.

My thoughts go out to his family, friends, and all those he impacted. Keep Hope Alive.

CBS not airing James Talarico’s interview with Stephen Colbert because they were supposedly worried about FCC backlash is a really big deal. Stephen Colbert was told not to say anything and did so anyways. This man is not getting enough credit for standing up for free speech.

Remember when CBS refused to air a 60 Minutes segment regarding inhumane conditions in a Salvadoran prison where the U.S. was deporting migrants?

Why did CBS refuse to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas?

I've heard that he hates it when we call his The Epstein Presidency. Let's all not call it that, every day.

Thank you, @maddow.bsky.social , for spotlighting the opposition to Trump’s concentration camps being built around the country.

Many of these are for profit, profiting from cruelty and human suffering with our tax dollars.
