Congress went to extraordinary lengths to pass a law mandating the DoJ release the Epstein Files. Initially opposed, Republicans voted for it and Trump signed it

The files were supposed to be released 3 weeks ago

But the lying sacks of shit in Trumpistan thumb their nose at the rule of law

Whatever else is going on, we never forget that Trump raped children with his pal #Epstein

Every brutal action taken by the regime reminds us of that.

Vance’s assertion of “absolute immunity” for the ICE agent who killed Good leads to the conclusion that federal agents are being granted legal permission to murder civilians without fear of prosecution. #holdfast

The 2026 election has already begun.

In the words of Amanda Gorman in her poem for Renee Good,

“If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been”.

Border Patrol agents pepper-sprayed, tackled, and handcuffed people on the grounds of Minneapolis’s Roosevelt High School on Wednesday—just hours after ICE officers shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. trib.al/hDj7ofo

The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation.

The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America.

Has anyone else noticed that the EPSTEIN FILES are still being held back. Less than 1% have been released. Another blatant refusal to accept oversight from our pitifully weak congress. 🗽

Over four decades, the NRA et al softened the ground for the current authoritarian takeover. My hope is that their silence in the face of the government tyranny they screamed about for all those years will bankrupt them in the eyes of the public forever.
I want to point out that the NRA and other anti-government groups had been screaming about the threat of "obey or die" for decades. Yet now that we're here, crickets. That's because they were softening the ground for the present moment.
