Every week it's something new. Epstein, ICE, grift, destroy another American institution. It's fukkin exhausting and it doesn't seem like anyone, R or D is doing a damn thing about it. I think we're gonna have to save ourselves, no one is coming to help. I'll never give up the fight, we can do this!

Wave goodbye to elections, America.

That's it for you.

March, kick and scream...
It's to no avail.
And you know it.

It's going to cost you, either way.

But the world will only watch as you plummet into the darkness, of a toppled empire.

We all tried to warn...
We fires hoping to motivate.

Hard to believe that this is coming up in the news again. Trump wants to disrupt the midterms because he knows he’s going to lose. There was nothing to find then and nothing today. Trump has unraveled. He is unstable. He is unfit. Miller is pulling the strings.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

For years, we have been lectured on the importance of major news outlets — about how their integrity prevents our democracy from dying in darkness. Yet Donald Trump just stood on a well-lit global stage and declared his intention to abuse the criminal justice system to destroy electoral democracy.
Donald Trump just announced breaking news. The legacy media ignored it.
Not only is Trump repeating a lie about the conduct of the 2020 election, but he is also announcing — at an international conference — that his administration will soon prosecute his political opponen...

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.

He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

Horrible.
Their 6 month old stopped breathing & lost consciousness after #ICE threw tear gas canisters & flashbangs into their car, deploying the airbags and flipping over a child's carseat.

Only 1 news outlet is covering this story of dangerous #ICELawlessness.

Please tag your local paper & media outlets.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.
