The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

God

Religiosity arises not from human nature, but from the human condition; from fear, longing & ignorance.

As education deepens understanding & compassion broadens our perspective, the need for certainty & imagined deities fades & we grow wiser & kinder.

Emerging wisdom renders Gods obsolete!

We know he's guilty, but the SC gave him immunity. That's all well and good, but I think his billionaire buddies are on the list too. Release the files and find out just how many billionaires are child rapists.

The White House has been working 9 to 5 to keep us from finding out about the Donald's trips to Epstein's islands in the stream. But would the Epstein files be a silver dagger or will Trump's base always love him?

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

So federal workers are working without pay, and furloughed workers will only get the back pay required by law IF Trump deems them worthy?

Did I get that right?

When I wrote this book last year, I couldn't have imagined the fight for the things we love would be so fierce and that there would be so much we were on the verge of losing.

If you could use some encouragement, I'd be honored if you'd check it out!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The collapse is coming. We haven't reached bottom yet. We need everyone to get out and vote and attend a #nokings next Saturday, 10/18. You don't want to find out what bottom is. Don't let this asshole and monsters destroy what little freedoms we have left. We can make a difference!

The question is is this a recession or a collapse?

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).
