The turnout for AOC & Bernie was absolutely insane in Folsom, CA We were in line for over 1.5 hrs and we still never got in!! People set up on the road above the arena just to get a view. Here are some photos from when we got close enough to see.

Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

Anthony Scaramucci: "I do think the Greenland thing is a distraction, and I think it really all does come down to the [Jeffrey] Epstein files. And remember, there could be immigration issues for the president's family inside the Epstein files, among other things.”

The legally-mandated release of the Epstein files is now more than one month overdue.

There are still MILLIONS of pages DOJ has yet to release.

What are Trump's personal lawyers at the DOJ trying to hide?

Trump couldn't even stand up at Davos.

"Straight out of makeup on the set of The Walking Dead”

“The commander in chief looks like a copper-toned corpse, like Frankenstein’s monster after a long weekend of boozing in Palm Springs.”

This is the rapist thug that Republicans are protecting.

Trump's physical 'decline' said to be made clear in Davos: 'Like Frankenstein's monster'
President Donald Trump made waves this week with his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he floated and later walked back threats to take over Greenland, but some eagle-ey...

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

the president slowly physically decaying and manifesting what appears to be some kind of stigmata on his hand while becoming more insane and evil would be dismissed as a hacky writing device

This is an important insight. Miller, Vance, and co see immigrants as the enemy, as the other. But they also see anyone siding with immigrants, citizen or not, as the enemy, too. And they want to make sure people see that aligning with immigrants makes you vulnerable to state violence.
The deeper issue is Miller and maybe Vance want people who are eager to show solidarity with immigrants to fear state violence.

They want us to fear Trump is capable of the worst.

I try to develop a theory of the moment here. 5/5

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."

Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Reminder: There are primaries coming up around May in many states. Then we have the November midterms.

These elections matter. A lot. Be prepared to vote. Don't let anyone tell you it won't make a difference. It will. It's your right and a privilege. Exercise it at every opportunity. 👊💪

#Vote

Jack Smith: "President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the very laws that he took an oath to uphold. Grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions, as alleged in the indictments they returned."

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Ryan: I think the clear thing is the president is failing and flailing all across the board. And this is another attempt. He can't even get the country's name right, for goodness sakes, which is just pathetic.

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?
