Would prefer to discuss life, books, kindness, wellness, wonder.
Instead I spend hours a day opposing a mad king.
But here we are.
RESIST!
Good Trouble!

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?
Murder. Shot in the back three times.

Don’t turn away. Please share.

Politico notes that Europe is holding people accountable for their chummy ties with Epstein, but the US is not.

The last two ¶¶ are about Bannon.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

“JD Vance fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never bring ICE to the Winter Olympics’”.

For everyone who thought this was far fetched even a week ago:

Hours before Maduro’s first court appearance on federal criminal charges, a senior Justice Department official amplified a post speculating that the Venezuelan dictator would try to plead to lesser charges by proffering “evidence” that the 2020 U.S. election was stolen.

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.

This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Easy to agree with Elie here. I don't think an "elections czar" will do it, but every state-level official who cares about democracy - and a battalion of lawyers - better buckle up for what's coming.
Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality.
Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar"

Democrats Need to Get Serious About Stopping Trump From Rigging the Midterms
Here’s one idea for a coordinated response to Trump’s coordinated attacks.
