The Trump DOJ admitted in a court filing that it continues to violate the law by failing to disclose the entirety of the Epstein Files.

I analyze why the Trump DOJ is complicit in the cover-up & cover a shocking disclosure by a photographer who was in Epstein's home.

Evergreen:

The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.
Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️

They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.

No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡

And people stop caring before truth hits
ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

The videos are crystal clear for any adult who is unwilling to lie through their teeth:

ICE murdered that woman when she presented no credible threat to them. She did not drive at them. She did not compromise their safety.

That was a summary execution of a U.S. citizen.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

remains striking the extent to which trump quite loudly does not see himself as president of the united states and more as a clan leader for his supporters

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise.

Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

Trump tells the world that this is all a law-enforcement, not military exercise. He then tells the Senate law-enforcement oversight committee that it's a military, not a law-enforcement matter. He can't even keep his lies straight.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here?

And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site?

No money for Musk, ever, please.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Trump's major foreign policy failures 2025:
-Destroying US soft power tools
-Irrational tariffs on allies
-Ending aid to Ukraine
-Playing chicken w/ Xi & backing down
-Selling best chips to China
-Tiptoeing into war w/ Venezuela
-Alienating allies (Canada, Greenland)
-Supporting Putin
I could go on
The Trump administrations biggest foreign policy achievements in 2025: ending the war in Gaza, sanctioning Rosneft and Lukhoil, and pledging an $11 billion arms sales to Taiwan.
(Future posts coming of their failures)

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
