I guess we'll see if WGN & #Corpomedia repeat the DHS lies, or take the word of their own people.

And prosecute its agents, supervisors & leaders by tribunal.

Trump Regime officials hear their sentences after conviction of conspiracy, sedition, manslaughter, and serial violation of human rights.

Former Trump Regime DHS agents in the Defendants Dock at the American People's Tribunal. Most later served decades in the Tribunal Prison established at the former DHS detention camp at Ft Bliss in the state of Apache (formerly known as Texas).

#GuardiansOfPedophiles are really, really good at collective forgettery.

So are the #CorporateMedia.

A version of #ChildrenOfKali are also needed.

Wise words.
They bring to mind how I felt after completing #KimStanleyRobinsons The Ministry For The Future.

Its not about what was. Its about what can be.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Yep. How long are they going to tolerate this chickensh!t?

No. Just his attitude towards the largest federal employer & employees in his state. He could give a sh!t. Completely unsurprising.

The Posse Comitatus Act began as a reactionary move against Reconstruction, blocking the Army from protecting newly freed citizens.

Now, in a bitter twist, it’s one of the few guardrails left to defend democracy. Our new episode is up.

I argued yesterday that, by lowering the bar to indicting a former FBI director to "make shit up," Kash and Pam Bondi signed their own arrest warrants.

Either they keep ratcheting up their own abuse, or they'll meet the same fate as Comey.

By indicting the first of Trump's FBI Directors and preparing to frame the second, Kash Patel may have signed his own arrest warrant.
