When Trump first got elected in 2016 I felt the corporate media was totally missing the plot and the danger a fascist like Trump represented. So much so, I started a word press blog and recorded my thoughts for posterity. Boy did I get it right. theamericanantagonist.wordpress.com/2016/11/28/d...
Did we really just get a Sieg Hail up in this?
These are strange times friends. During the National Policy Institutes yearly cross burning we got a little taste of how NOT about race this election was. Richard Spencer, the NPI’s President…

The people of Minnesota, and Minneapolis especially, have set the blueprint for our resistance.

They were tough, determined, disciplined, peaceful and kind. They remained united throughout the ICE occupation.

Thank you, Minneapolis, for leading the way.
Please support Haven Watch.🙏💙
There are kind volunteers of the grassroots organization called Haven Watch who support released detainees in MN. They often don’t have a phone, money or clothes for the weather.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Because none of that stuff -- other than voting -- is a right guaranteed to all citizens in the United States Constitution.

You useless, hollow shitheel hack of a lying politician.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

Rep. Raskin: “Epstein’s lawyers quoted Trump as saying Jeffrey Epstein was not a member of Mar-a-Lago, but he was a guest at Mar-a-Lago, but had never been asked to leave. That was redacted for some indeterminate, inscrutable reason.”

Next Democrat to run for President should remind everyone that Trump and the GOP elevated the President to the level of king and that they will use said powers to bring equity and just to the People. Tax these companies out of business, the convict their leaders for fraud and abuse. Make examples.
Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

A fair & reasonable way to address @odnigov.bsky.social's one sided criticisms is to have @wbaidlaw.bsky.social's client meet w/ Congress & provide greater details abt serious concerns.

There is nothing partisan or politicized abt lawful whistleblower process so long as truth is ultimate objective
Our whistleblower client is willing to speak, w/appropriate protections, w/Gang of Eight & cleared staffs to provide addt'l details about complaint & address credibility & concerns of politicization, as well as answer questions @odnigov.bsky.social is refusing to address.

We all want the truth.

Trump is trying to seize control of our elections because he knows he is going to lose.

These are maneuvers of an authoritarian desperate to cling on to power.

But we will not be dissuaded.
We will not be intimidated.
