Dark thoughts this morning…how must it feel to be Europe right now with Russian aggression ascending and Trump back in power. There will be no USA to storm the beaches this time…they will stand with the enemy. What has America done?

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all.
The system does not hold people accountable.

Quick PSA: Most corporations don't use their tax cuts to create jobs, give back to society, or lower costs. They just give their CEOs more money.

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.

"While the more than 3 million Epstein files are dominating domestic news coverage and overtaking congressional hearings on Capitol Hill, the documents haven’t had the same kind of fallout in the United States as they have had internationally," Mychael Schnell reports for @ms.now
Why there has been no ‘reckoning’ in Trump’s Washington for the Epstein files
Calls for resignations and accountability have largely stalled in a government led by President Donald Trump. Members of Congress — in both parties — are taking note.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

In Minnesota families are in hiding, teachers & neighbors are delivering groceries to those who cannot leave their homes because it is unsafe, children cannot go to school because it is unsafe.
Minnesota is under an unconstitutional federal occupation that needs to end.

This is critically important.
Ordinary people serving on grand juries have become a new front line in the resistance against the Trump regime.
They’re saying no to Trump’s vicious prosecutions, and no to the federal prosecutors pursing them. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-citizens-revolt

Feel your anger, experience your hurt, be pissed off...and do so, while understanding that Pam Bondi is actively dooming the entire Republican Party. No one will be able to undo that damage she is doing to the party. No one.
