yes the problem with these murders that were captured on video from 15 different angles, including by the people killed and the people killing them, was that there weren't body cameras.

So I guess we are supposed to believe that Trump isn’t shutting down the Kennedy Center because pretty much every show and performer canceled on them and the facility would’ve been completely empty for the remainder of his term.

DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.

If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

The nexus between pedophilia and right wing authoritarianism seems to be based on the idea that there is a ruling class that gets to do what they want with no consequences.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Arresting journalists.

Fatally shooting protestors.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

From the moment he was sworn in a year ago, this President/administration have been at war with the First Amendment. In fact, this is the most anti-First Amendment President/administration in American history. There’s not even a close second.

The American state media attacked President Biden more fiercely over his age whilst he was doing good work than they have with orange felon murdering citizens, arresting journalists, terrorizing immigrants and robbing the country blind. They deliberately failed humanity.

I try not to think too hard or too often about how the president of the United States is a deranged idiot, because it's really just so g.d. depressing. And ridiculous. And embarrassing.

Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day:

-using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities

-seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties

-prosecuting 2020 enemies

-extorting states for sensitive voter data

From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s plans to interfere in the midterms are becoming more dangerous
The seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia follows the DOJ’s demands for voter data in Minnesota.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.
