The No Kings protests were fantastic

But we have to keep going

Because Trump’s fascism will never stop-as evidenced by the fact that his ICE thugs tear gassed protesters in Portland last night-and we can’t let him win

Stay engaged, my friends

We have a country to save

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

Trump is likely one of dozens if-not 100s of noteworthy names identified in the files. To answer your question: until their base begins to scream.

USACE shutdown hurts supporters, so I'm not sure how much political capital they're willing to blow. No 👑 rallies will cause concern among Republicans.

There is an identifiable pattern emerging here that cannot be overlooked.

PCUnited @pcunited.bsky.social · 9h

Trump appears to be convinced that a couple pro-Ukraine news cycles is enough to appease pro-Ukrainian Republicans, then almost immediately & quite schizophrenically, returns to pro-Putin talking point material to manipulate, intimidate and frustrate Ukraine's efforts to defend sovereign territory.

This video she sanctioned is fake.

Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.

Hundreds of new homes for veterans are coming to California through voter-approved Prop 1 funding.

707 permanent supportive homes — including 231 for veterans — will be built across the state through the Homekey+ program.

California stands with those who’ve served our country.

The possibilities are certainly narrowing at this point. It's becoming more reliably certain that hiding the Epstein files is central to the MAGA government shutdown. I would argue that the Homan file is also of great concern, given the potential corruptibility of a pivotal immigration czar.

World 'leaders' who Trump defends are either: despots/authoritarians themselves, giving him large sums of money/some form of enormous financial gain, named in the Epstein files, or in possession of the Epstein files and blackmailing him.

🧵Guarantee it's the Epstein money trail that's spooking Trump more than the child rape.

As soon as Trump took office, he immediately blocked the 4-year congressional investigation into Epstein's assets.

He also immediately revoked access to all sensitive docs.
