If now is not the time for tens of millions in the streets, for a unified call for the removal of an entire regime, for ICE to be disbanded, for Nuremberg-like tribunals, for a nationwide strike, for boycotting ALL businesses that enable this regime, for Congress to do its job, when the FUCK is?

Ramble On: There Is No Santa Claus
Morning thoughts on how Epstein & his rich & powerful accomplices want us to believe a lie, while Europe's response to the revelations in the files helps us ward off the gaslighting and see the truth.

This is no longer about politics.
It is about good vs evil.
Remember this. You have not got hate so deep in your soul it makes you evil.
You still have your moral code, and don’t have to pretend to be religious for pseudo righteousness.

Seriously. I don’t know why anyone looked at this chowderhead and thought “He looks like a leader.”
He is a slimy snollygoster. He makes my skin crawl.
And why does he always look like he’s storing nuts for winter?
What a jam roll.

Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe -
choosing regularisation instead of MAGA mass deportations!!
Two reasons: morality & pragmatism.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Though it is undeniable that something is deeply awry with a nation that can give a popular vote majority to a moral degenerate who did not hide his authoritarian plans, we shouldn’t act as though public opinion hasn’t shifted since the 2024 election.
How Big Is MAGA, Really?
Trump is governing like he has a huge mandate. The numbers disagree.

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...
Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.
