MAGA / GOP's relentlessness with Antifa reminds me of this SNL sketch — cued to the right spot

ditto

Guy Williams was an accomplished rider, and highly-trained in fencing. he espoused that role (two roles, actually. but🤫—don Alejandro doesn't know) to perfection

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

in the early days of Trump 1.0, Miller said something similar: “the power of the president shall not be questioned”

it seems to be a fixation on his part

While the Trump administration hides the Epstein files, another cover-up is unfolding—this time around Trump border czar Tom Homan. Todd Beeton examines the scandal. Plus, Amelia Mavis-Christnot traces the legacy of Wounded Knee, and Jay Kuo explores how fear still shapes American politics.

This Week In The Big Picture

While the Trump administration continues its cover-up of the Epstein files, Trump world is currently engaged in yet another cover-up, which has gotten less attention.

Trump starts with a solution. only then does he look for a problem on which to apply it

shooting demonstrators and jailing political opponents are foregone decisions for Trump

Trump and dictators like him develop a trauma-bond with their grassroots voters

Trump does not merely inflict pain upon his electorate… he promises pain, and the folks expect it

it’s hard to explain to any person who’s caught up in it—hence the dystopia we’re contemplating

thank you for the reference; shall look into it. [had not heard of it]

i fully subscribe to⬆️

Comey’s ad hoc, sectarian, unfair decision to investigate Hillary Clinton‘s emails, and notify the press of it was a manmade October Surprise designed to derail her campaign for the presidency

but his indictment and the termination of his daughter are unfair & unjust

can i claim to know the ‘little boxes’ song (of ticky-tacky fame) without aging the hell out of myself?

a trained law enforcement officer with a JD

former FBi director

best friends with Robert Mueller

Trump / Bondi did not indict him in hopes of taking him to court

Trump / Bondi indicted him for the sole thrill of perp-walking him (❌) and smearing him (❌)
