Whatever it is, hope it’s fatal
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
If you want to reduce crime, ban guns. If you are opposed to banning guns, you do not want to reduce crime.

“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
NEW: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza says genocide scholars. 86% of 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars backed resolution declaring: “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide." Netanyahu must stand trial for war crimes against Humanity!
Protestors have been projecting the innocent victims illegally kidnapped and detained by ICE on the side of the Los Angeles Detention Facility!! Los Angeles has a spirit Trump can’t crush. Los Angeles will crush him instead!!
Yes
We HAVE to do this. There is no other way
This
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
If you are a person who regularly donates items for food banks, please also consider adding cake mix and icing for birthday cakes and period products. Both make life infinitely nicer for folks who need something nice.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
There is no other conclusion to reach at this point than mainstream media is actively participating in the fascist takeover of this country.
Honestly, I’d just rather he were really sick and dead soon
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Two pieces of shit
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Once we've reduced the current fascist regime to a smoldering pile of crap, and we've sent the Republican party home to reflect on their cowardice and complicity in destroying what's left of America, then we'll go after the media who allowed the traitors to skate on their lies with no backlash.
Put them in jail.
Remember Nuremberg?
Dead, alive, hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Witnesses to a kidnapping of a young boy on 14th Street in Washington, DC captured this picture of the vehicle used by the domestic terrorist group known as ICE. This 2022 Ford Truck VIN: 1FTEW1EB0NKE15478 is currently untitled and illegally being used in crimes.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Even if we never see him again this is going to take forever to unfuck.

Just joined! 👍
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.

Please check your voter registration. The GOP Is notorious for purging voter roles. THIS.IS.A.FACT. Maybe some in the dem party have their heads in the sand, but this is NOT a joke/fear mongering/hyperbole. What does it hurt to double check? Go to iwillvote.com #OneV1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
By Mike Luckovich:
Trump is notoriously thin-skinned. He remembers and stews over every slight and insult. He wanted Burgum for the VP slot. The sofasexual was foisted on him by Musk and Thiel. It was the deal he had to make so they would buy him the election.
The very rich Peter Thiel is behind a lot of the destruction of pur democracy going on right now, and he thinks the rest of us little people are just in his way.
I don’t want to read too much into this, but several White House sources confirm that Vance was seen earlier today measuring the drapes in the Oval Office.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Wait
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
Some personal news: My Son is officially canceling his second coming until y’all are actually ready to listen to Him.
I don’t know if Trump is dying. But I do know that people telling themselves Vance would be better because he’s not as “popular” are ignoring the fact that these fascist systems are designed to crush democracy and popularity doesn’t figure into it. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/if-trump-d...
Rats!

🚨BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Excellent question.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Seems like a good use of labor.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
During his speech, Grant remarked that "if we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason & Dixon . . . but between patriotism & intelligence on the one side & superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other."
Blue state soft secession. Hold back the money.

More stupid guns!!
"Here’s a section of the CBO report that Trump and his courtiers missed: 'We estimate that the changes in tariffs will reduce the size of the U.S. economy...The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods and capital goods more expensive.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-four...
🚨 “DHS claims the agents acted in self defense…” The hell they were! They damn near shot and killed a kid — for no reason, provocation. Mayor Tran should give more than lip service. A child was almost killed by DHS in her city.

About time people realized who she is.

Veterans are at the Union Station in D.C. today and they are participating in a sit in. They will not leave until the National Guard leaves D.C. They ask if you are a veteran in the area, to come on by and pitch in!
Totally not true! Always love Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders, love Kamala , Hillary was right about everything. Do I hate Trump? Why do you care, how’s that cult thing going?
Everybody enabling this shit, every rank and file ICE bozo, needs to understand the possibility that their side will not, in fact, be in power in perpetuity and that some day they're going to have to answer for their actions.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Pat Hudson Cartoons
I walked down to the very good pizza place tonight. And walked home and had four slices. And what shocks me most of all, I did it all by myself without the National Guard to even help me.
NEW: Jack Smith’s lawyers write to the Office of Special Counsel to say that they’ve read news reports about an investigation into Jack Smith, but no one has actually reached out. “The predicate for this investigation is imaginary and unfounded.” 1/
“Transparent”
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
Forget it. Is it gonna be two weeks? Don’t want dirty money
Can’t worry in the shower? What a putz.
Probably tired of throwing up because of this filthy administration.
Never any negotiations. Terms of surrender are not negotiations. What dope.
Pritzker: “Over the last 4 years, homicides have dropped in half. The President should pay attention. I know he doesn’t read — but maybe if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here, he’ll catch it on TV.” 💀🔥 #Pritzker #ShotsFired
Listen, I can’t stand Missouri Congressman Mark Alford, but we can all appreciate that he shows up to town halls and takes the metaphorical beatings. He deserves every bit of the verbal abuse he encounters. But the fact of the matter is he is actually showing up to town halls. Most won’t.
Americans should not have to live under military and police occupation. "Land of the Free?" Not anymore. Never forget, people voted for this. *sip*🔥☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Like if it was a a national guard who did the killing? Kent state
