In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

This is what the 3rd term business is all about; he must stay in power at all costs or he risks his personal freedom & that of his children. He's constructing a golden cage for himself, with an iron wing for the rest of us, & is desperately trying to complete it & lock the door before we realize it.

And I cannot even get into how many people in our community are here because they or their parents or grandparents were being hunted and terrorized in Germany, Eastern Europe, Russia & the Soviet Union.

They know what this is. They know it's happening here.

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules.

Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs.

Archaeologists speak up against the Vice President's blatantly disinformative use of archaeology for spreading these harmful Christian nationalist narratives
🏺

Quote from article reading, "Vance then pivoted and made a historical argument, claiming early settlers to North America and ancient societies practiced forms of 'child sacrifice'. Historians have found no evidence of that."

Quote from article: "he went on to say archaeological sites associated with ancient brothels often include the remains of infants, calling it evidence that societies that 'discard innocent babies' also tend to mistreat women. 'There is a reason why Christian civilization ended the practice of child sacrifice all over the world,' he said. 'It's one of the great accomplishments of Christian civilization."

3/4 Vance groups "child sacrifice" and "brothels" to create a single, generalized moral monster. This is a racialized lie.

He invents the perfect "savage" (Pearce) to justify the "regeneration" (Slotkin). The lie sanctions the violence.

The generalization sanitizes colonialism.
