And now they're learning that Trump directed Bondi to go to court and get a list of gun owners so his tech operatives can formulate a gun registry. They want to know where the armed opposition will be when Trump implements his permanent takeover of the country.

His granddaughter is using this video to market her clothing line. It's just another Trump grift financed by the same American taxpayer who's not allowed to have healthcare, affordable groceries, green energy, education, childcare...

Del has some thoughts and says The Dementor In Chief is already talking about invoking the Insurrection Act ahead of the Oct 18 “No Kings” rally. The guy who tried to overthrow democracy now wants legal cover to crush peaceful protests!

Nope, that's too far! The Tide has turned against you.

Susan Ovans @susanovans.bsky.social · 12h

Anything to Tide them over 'til the next delivery.
(Gawd, someone stop us...)

Susan Ovans @susanovans.bsky.social · 12h

Yep, but an army of Americans already hate him and, as far as anyone can tell, there are few who would slavishly support him as they do Trump.
I do fear the moneyed cartel that put Vance in the VP slot and are actively scheming to disable the legal guardrails that underpin our nation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

I finished King of Ashes last night. Totally agree with you about the ending. I loved every bit of this book until the last chapter, where Roman morphs into the black Michael Corleone and Jae into Kay.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.
