Q: Can you explain Tulsi Gabbard's role in DOJ activity regarding the Fulton County search?
BLANCHE: She happened to be present in Atlanta. I saw the same photo you did. She doesn't work for the DOJ or FBI.

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself…
But the public will not be gaslit.
We will continue to spread the truth…
Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Just a reminder the Pam Bondi's DOJ lies. That has been proven true in court.
So, when Bondi declares that she has now fully complied with the Epstein Transparency Act, don't believe her.
What aren't we seeing? Illegal redactions of Trump's name and those of his friends, "lost" documents?

I understand that all of us have to live our lives and therefore simply cannot think deeply about the fact that the current fascist President of the United States is deeply unwell.
I do think, however, that it is the JOB of CONGRESS and the CABINET to protect the country FROM HIM. NOW.
