"Totalitarian" is the word Eric Sevareid used to describe the Axis countries during WWII. It is the word I use now to describe the US.

I agree with @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that Clinton, Biden, and perhaps most of all, Merrick Garland, had all the dope on the Epstein files and not only failed to prosecute,

"They Knew" is an understatement!

Michelle Cottle of the NYTimes said today that members of Congress have told her that they are fearful of personal harm, and harm to their families, should they cross Trump.
This is the highest level of extortion and gangsterism imaginable.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

TRUMP IS A RACIST.
It is the racism for sure. Full stop. And it’s the violence. The man is inciting racist violence against a former president. This signals something to his racist, violent, and heavily armed base. It’s beyond dangerous.

Parents of very young children with genetic disabilities are vulnerable to scientists/profiteers saying they bring cures.
Caring for a disable or dying child can be very expensive.
It is simply not ethical to give false hope.

I think the US Dollar is an unstable currency at this point. I see that my bank sells foreign currency. Even though I hate private equity, it is returning 15%+ which can keep up with inflation. And, I am going to start purchasing precious metals.

It is very surprising that Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Theil, Brin, Huang, Ramswamy, Cook, Altman, Pichai, Ellison, and Icahn do not realize that their names will live in infamy alongside Trump's.

I am a lifelong Democrat, and I can't stand Pelosi, Jeffries, or Schumer.
These cowardly Democrats have no backbone and will not protect the American public from ICE or Trump.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.
