When you listen to that roundtable & claims of organized networks of antifa funding, legal orgs etc, know they are projecting exactly the nature of their own movement. The Council for National Policy is an umbrella that includes the vast network of the right wing organizing, legal, policy machine.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

To be a Republican in good standing, you must be in on the corruption. Also, GOP lawyers are corrupt.

The executive branch is one of three COEQUAL branches of government in America.

Until we get rid of this Dictator & this SCOTUS that enables his tyranny, you live in Russia.

Exclamation point.

They want hate and division… so fight back with love and kindness

Fight back with community care

Donate to mutual aid. Set up a community fridge or library. Volunteer your time. Set up a neighborhood ICE watch. Wear a mask

Embody the protesting frog or the dancing rainbow unicorn.

We got this.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
