It is NOT a distraction from Epstein. This is the plan. This is project 2025 being implemented. It’s purpse is to undermine the 2026 election and ensure Republican rule in perpetuity. Trump wants to be dictator for life, like his hero/boss Putin. Don’t minimize these actions.
They’re too busy chasing people picking lettuce.
Medicare Advantage moves us closer to privatization, not M4All.
NOT “autocracy.” It’s DICTATORSHIP! Call it what it is so people understand.
✋🤚
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Didn’t both Germany and Japan surrender “unconditionally?”
Sick of the “distraction” arguments! He’s not “distracting” from anything! This is the plan. It’s a coup. He’s establishing a dictatorship. Jeffries is just too cowardly to face the facts. He and Schumer need to go!
Nice sentiment. But, your 2/3rd seems to be sitting on their butts while the 1/3 is fucking over millions of people across the country. I know, same story all over America. We need to get the 2/3rds up and fighting.
Their job is respecting the law.
Do not normalize the military on our streets. Do not accept it. It should not happen in this country. It is not America. Do not fucking normalize it. Do not fucking accept it. Stand against it.
What we see happening in real time is actually part of Martial Law. Oh, it hasn’t been officially declared, but his federal takeover plans for cities across the nation…under the cloak of “attacking crime,” is pre-positioning for when he does. It will happen prior to the November elections. Watch.
This.👇
Such an important point: “Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd I wish more understood this. A confession… 🧵
ICE=Gestapo #iceout #notofascism
YES! Just do it. Don’t wait for Texas. Republicans are so used to empty Democrat threats, only to fall back an “play by the rules.” There are no rules.
I can identify with this. I AM NOT A VICTIM. But, my son was murdered 7 years ago. Trial to finally start later this year. Yes, I have moved on with my life. But, I will be there for every second of that trial. I will relive that time, because I WANT JUSTICE. For my son, his son, and me!
Our country is being run by preschoolers.

The Trump-Epstein story ain’t goin away!! (I hope)
Waiting around for the next election is a lazy and unserious strategy. Stop sitting on your asses! Do everything in your power to limit the damage being done. You honesty think there will be a fair election in 2026 or beyond? By the 2026 elections CA and NY, at least, will be occupied territories.
Show us you can walk and chew gun at the same time. Go after EVERYTHING! Every misstep, scandal, crime, gaffe. Be relentless. And, you can still address the concrete issues Americans are experiencing. Show you have a plan to deal with their pain. You can do both. Flood the zone.
DO IT!
I remember adjusting the rabbit ears to get better reception!
REALLY AMERICAN BREAKING: The military and ICE just RAIDED LA's MacArthur Park, with over a hundred soldiers marching through.😳 Mayor Karen Bass immediately showed up, and demanded they leave. They did. No arrests were documented. 👏👏
“Joint Operations Area”? Certainly sounds like a war zone/occupied territory, hmm? This is how these fascists see America.
The chances of an election in 2026 are 50-50 at best.
You think this is going to be over? We have seen our last free election. Progressive Americans sat on their asses because they didn’t get their ‘perfect’ candidates while a propagandized, mindless cult has destroyed this country. Don’t kid yourself, this is here to stay!
This you, Gym?
‘Summer school’ in California.
Just like Bush, she thinks since ERs take all who present for treatment, that counts as “access.” ERs are already overwhelmed and it will only get worse.
“I hold all the levers.” The words of a mad tyrant, and his political party, that once claimed to believe in federalism/state & local control, will all bow down to the mad tyrant and praise him effusively.
Contact. Hands down!
So my former political party has become a fascist-embracing cult, but everybody goes on & on about how messed up the Democratic Party is? Seriously? It’s the “Democratic Party” that has issues? Not the party that’s given up on democracy and ignores the rule of law? Fuck that.
Couldn’t agree more. Time for my generation to enjoy the sunset. Let the young people lead. It’s their futures at stake, not ours.
My generation needs to step aside, relax, enjoy our remaining years and let the young people take over. It’s their world, their futures at stake. Not ours.
Show this to Heartless Taco.
Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
Coming from a man who has never worked a day in his life. How many rounds of golf since Jan 20?
Why is every solution an “either/or” choice? There are benefits to both. Certainly living healthy lifestyles is beneficial. But, many diseases and conditions are not modifiable by such. Also, medicine based on science shows us which lifestyles truly are better.
The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.
Get the facts! Los Angeles is a city of 503 square miles. Only 1 square mile has a curfew. We don’t have a problem.
This audience member might have just broken Jon #AfterTheCut
So proud of my home. Ventura, CA. Out in force, peacefully. Yes, this is the same place you saw videos of ICE chasing people thru the strawberry fields a couple days ago. Ventura stands united for our neighbors and against fascism. ❤️
I live in Ventura, born and raised. These field workers are the hardest working people you’ve ever seen. Every morning and all day doing back breaking work that no magat would ever do! My first job was working for Sunkist right beside them. They deserve respect and to be treated with dignity!
Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou
“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater
Are you f***ing kidding me?!! WTF is wrong with Politico? Leaning in? He’s acting like a dictator. Ordering the military into the streets of an American city is not “leaning in.” Holding campaign rallies before the troops? Normalizing this despotic behavior is what will end America.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
Not to mention pulling down an American flag, replacing it with a trump flag. Or beating police officers with an American flag.
Marines, 1945 vs Marines, 2025.
No, they won’t. They are hand picked stooges who have no loyalty to our country or constitution. They are a disgrace to those who have served and given their all to keep America a free democracy.
I’m no military hero. I served faithfully, and I deeply respect those who gave everything—they’re my heroes. That’s why I reject Trump’s parade. It’s not about honoring them—it’s about feeding his ego. And that...makes me want to puke.
NO FUCKING WAY! I’m reminded of the final scene in Animal Farm. Looking in and not being able to tell difference between the pigs and the humans. Dems and Reps are all about the money.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.
He put his personal business up front.
Nothing wrong with manual labor. Most manual labor requires mechanical and physical skills. We just devalue labor in this country. Thinking that someone went to college and now sits in an office at a computer is somehow more valuable than the person who actually built the office in the first place.
This boomer agrees. It’s not our future at stake anymore. Let the younger generations set their own course. I no longer have to think of my grandchildren’s future. They’re old enough to chart their own.

He’s so good at this.

Michelle Obama doesn't owe an explanation to ANYONE for skipping out on the inauguration of a Russian asset. The idea that she would...is f*cking insane.
My favorite sign from yesterday’s large rally in my hometown, Ventura, CA.
We don’t need to privatize the VA—we need to protect and modernize it. Veterans sacrificed for us. The least we can do is continue to improve the system they rely on, not sell it off. Anything less dishonors their service.
“Young Dems need to play the long game.” Look around! There is no long game! The longest game is 85 year olds making decisions about a world they won’t have to live in! It’s time for different. Same is not working.
Does the term “brown shirts” ring a bell?
I was in the military when Nixon resigned. There was talk of “what the military would do.” Like our fellow Americans we watched our system of governance and rule of law work as they’re supposed to. We served the Constitution, not Nixon. Can our military make the same claim today?

Terrifying. ICE agents are showing up masked—these masked abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and show proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability is not law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
☘️ Look, it's golf. I get it. ☘️ But Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was one for the truly good guys. He didn't take the Saudi's gruesome blood money to play on an odious tour endorsed by the world's most notorious, orange cheater. ☘️ He stayed loyal and true to who he is, and tonight he's the champ.
📌I see House Democrats are targeting just 35 Republican districts in 2026, which is the absolute definition of thinking incredibly small. 📌Billionaires are stealing our money, gutting medicaid, social security and vets' benefits. People's 401ks are in tatters. 📌RUN HARD EVERYWHERE, DAMMIT.
This isn’t wrong or stupid. This is lying. It’s propaganda. This is textbook Orwellian rewriting of history.
Tank the market with tariffs so rich people can buy low then “pause” the tariffs and all those people make vast sums of money?
Wonder how much l’il stevie made today.
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
If the Democratic Party was smart, after yesterday's turnout they would actually start talking to people in red states. They would spend money in elections at every single level. It's time to end the generations of elitism on the left. Ignoring half the country has only pushed them further right.
Right now I don’t think I would trust any numbers coming from any government agency.
I've said this a million times but I'll say it again: the Dems constantly debating in public about whether to fight, and where to fight, and what language to use in fighting, and whether this is the right fight ... all of that just loudly broadcasts *weakness*, no matter what they conclude.
Lies!
It’s not digital 1s and 0s. It’s a roof over your head. It’s food on the table. It’s clothes on your back. What an ignorant POS!
Short term pain. Long term gain. Hmm.. For those of us in our 70s, depending on those 401s, forgive us if we’re not exactly excited about the long term.
Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…
Those wondering who the leader of the DEMs is. His name is @corybooker.com and @schumer.senate.gov must step down. He has failed for years. Mitch McConnell ran rings around him. He couldn’t even control Joe Manchin or Sinema . He’s got to go. He has lost the confidence of the American people.

Most lawyers are more concerned about their paychecks than the law.
This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.
🗞️As an old newspaperman, this Mark Twain adage is ringing a bell this morning: "Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel." 🗞️The Atlantic is handling these inept, lying enemies of the people with the truth ... and nothing but the truth.
If anybody’s fundamental rights or freedoms can be violated simply because of who they are, then they aren’t really rights at all - they’re just privileges on loan from the powerful that can be revoked at any time.
Yes, I'm a hateful Leftist. I hate the Right’s mockery of empathy, their contempt for immigrants, embracing of fascism, perversion of Christianity, resistance to diversity, anti-science ignorance, death cult of a sociopath, and never-ending grievances. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/confession...
