There is really serious shit in the #EpsteinFiles and trump is willing to gamble his presidency on keeping it quiet. It’s that bad.

While Americans are struggling with higher prices, the President is focused on enriching himself and his family. You look at this and have to ask yourself – is there any level of corruption so egregious that Republicans would call it out? Evidently not.

certain people made their careers flipping the fuck out, rightly, about the Bush-Obama drone assassination campaign. then in early 2017 they mysteriously went silent about it being radically ramped up, and again stayed silent when Biden largely ended it

It depends on the state. And Maine is entirely different. Graham Platner can walk into any bar and talk with the working man about healthcare and housing. Also he’s running against a burned out Susan Collins. Let’s see if the 78 year old Gov wants to jump in.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

The Jewish vote in NYC is large & extremely powerful. This isn’t Des Moines. It’s New York City. It’s not a national race. It’s different than anywhere else on the planet. Jeffries represents a lot of different folks. Zohran’s “river to the sea” comment hurt some of those ppl. Its politics.

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.

If someone doesn’t vote for the Democrat (& against whomever the GOP candidate is), if they stay home or vote third party, they are helping fascism and authoritarianism to become a permanent reality. There is no inbetween. If I have to explain it to someone then it’s probably not getting through.

To put the effects of this distinction in more concrete terms: The order *does not* require the Trump administration to withdraw the remaining national guard troops. It can still use them for things like protecting federal property. But not for domestic law enforcement. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Very interesting. I hadn’t thought of it that way. But yeah, many Cuban wealthy plantation owners were run out by Castro and made their way to Florida. There was already a caste system. (As there is in every culture I imagine). And maybe religion plays a huge role as well in authoritarian fascism?
