Think this won't happen here? In America? In your neighborhood, to your neighbor, your family, your friends? Guess what? It's happening now.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

His “crime”? A burglary charge from when he was a teenager.

The state of Georgia granted him a full pardon.

He just got engaged, he runs a barber shop and hasn’t had so much as a parking ticket since.

His health is deteriorating in custody and he needs us to get loud for him!

The petition for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee being held in an ICE camp, is over 3300 signatures!

Rodney has been in the US since he was 2 years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him.

He’s in solitary confinement & facing deportation to Liberia

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

When you are on the side that is shooting priests in the face with pepper balls - you might want to start questioning if you are with the bad guys.

I think everyone should understand that a senile man is sending state secret messages through his personal social media application account, via unencrypted direct messages, that can be easily hacked.

If Biden or Hillary did this Republicans would be freaking out.

I. Direct Messaging
Truth Social offers users the ability to send direct messages to their followers, allowing for more private, one-to-one communications. Truth Social does not encrypt these direct messages. When you communicate with others by sending or receiving Truth Social's direct messages, we will save the messages along with certain information necessary for processing them for either seven (7), fourteen (14), thirty (30), or ninety (90) days, as elected by the user. (The default setting is 14 days.)

The lust for child bodies, feeds the traffick of children worldwide. A global network tied to the most wealthy and most powerful. And it is the poorest of poor countries supplying these bodies. Now the networks is in plainview, and some of the story about this network is hidden in the Epstein files

Weird. 47 was totally OK with Jan. 6 rioters beating Capitol police with flag poles. 🤔

Peter Stager beat a police officer with the flagpole he was carrying at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. U.S. District Court for D.C.

On January 20, 2025, during the first day of his second term, United States president Donald Trump granted blanket clemency to all people, nearly 1,600, convicted of or awaiting trial or sentencing for offenses related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack that occurred near the end of his first presidential term.

Among the pardoned was Peter Stager, who admitted to beating a police officer with a flagpole.

Today made it plain, Trump is not in charge. He is being run by a small coterie of White House staff and cabinet members and outsiders, most notably Stephen Miller, and perhaps Laura Loomer.

It's reported that Trump took at least 6 flights on Epstein's private jet. His office confirmed he flew on the jet to Epstein’s private island in the late '90s/early 2000s.

He pretends no involvement with Epstein’s illicit activities. Release the files!
