AOC to @premthakker.bsky.social: Pam Bondi was behaving so erratically at a hearing today because she knows she’s implicated in a cover-up to protect a pedophile ring by redacting perpetrators’ names, withholding files, and unexplainably transferring Ghislaine Maxwell to a cushy facility.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This has been my takeaway. What we witnessed is a fascist so confident in her power and immunity from accountability that she feels free to mock and flaunt the democratic process.
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This is the Republican party in a nutshell—they don’t give a damn about children who were raped by wealthy pedophiles. All they care about is helping their Epstein class donors (many of whom are in the Epstein Files themselves) get richer.
"He is the most transparent president in the nation's history!" -- Bondi is stammering as she attacks Democrats and tries to downplay Epstein as a distraction from the stock market

Pam Bondi needs to be impeached.
With the split in the House and Massie where he currently sits, it could pass the House, and trial in the Senate would be a necessary truth telling exercise.

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

There's an argument that Trump was constitutionally barred from holding federal office after Jan 6 and therefore all his public acts since then are void. He has spent the last year validating that notion every single day. Letting any of this stand and ~Moving On~ after it's over would be a mistake

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government
wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

If you thought this paradigm was going to last 30-90 days and then end and now, at day 72, you’re realizing the fallout is actually an indefinitely permanent paradigm, it makes sense you went super hard at a pace that is unsustainable.
Recalibrate now before you’re hurtling into the concrete floor.

I’m seeing more and more Minneapolis/Minnesota people naming that they are burned out and I just hope people allow themselves to change their pacing from sprint to marathon or better yet, a relay.
Slow down if the alternative is you crashing out and not being able to do anything.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

I really feel like: Donald Trump is building a prison camp system on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao … would be a good and true headline to run every day. Advertisements across media. Speeches on the Senate. Everywhere.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

-to not let the state disarm you (small arms genuinely matter even when artillery exists)
