Waiting with baited breath to hear what the catch is now that Trump has "reversed" and is suddenly calling for the release of the Epstein files. 'Cuz no way are his revolting team of scabs letting anything bad happen to the Cheeto monster. How will they control the narrative this time? Riveting!

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.

They're shutting down every enclave of independent and critical thought in big media.
From Vogue's announcement of its takeover:
"Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people."
In other words, teaching compliance

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

My theory is that they are making the 2-factor authentication process so ridiculously obstreperous that when they finally offer us the option of eyeball-scanning instead we will jump at the opportunity.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.
Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.
📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Okay, so this government is toasted garbage. Who wants to start a new government? What we did the first time was get a bunch of people to create a declaration of independence and sign it, so apparently that suffices.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
