I just keep watching it disappear.

Our free press.
Our right to assembly.
Our freedom of speech.
Our right to due process.
Our right to free and fair elections.
Our protections from illegal search and seizure.
Our private data.
Our warrantless entry protections.

All of it disappearing.

The Epstein case reflects systemic issues within the American elite. Despite clear evidence, the perpetrators will probably never be charged. They engage in exploitative practices without consequence.The American oligarchy has amassed its wealth through parasitism

Don Lemon wasn’t arrested for disrupting a church service. He was arrested because the Trump administration wants journalists afraid. This is intimidation, plain and simple.

So...... this seems real bad.

The FBI executed a sealed search warrant today on a key Atlanta area election office - and wouldn't say what that warrant was for.

"A source told FOX the FBI was there to take custody of Fulton County election ballots from 2020."

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.

But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Fascism is just criminality with political power. It's all about enriching yourself and to hell with anyone else. Lying, hurting people, killing - doesn't matter. It's all about the grift and avoiding being caught.

In the wake of US citizens being murdered on the streets by federal forces where is the “all lives matter” crowd? Unfortunately I am not surprised by their silence.

I’ve been getting a lot of messages thanking me for talking about policy and legislation.

That is the bare minimum.

The sole reason a Member of Congress exists is to introduce legislation, write policy, and make it law. That’s it. That’s the job.

If you aren’t doing that, get out of office.

I’ve seen multiple idiots claim that the left has done a 180 on 2A, when, in fact, that is *exactly* what the right has done.

Just like they did with political violence. And cronyism. And naked corruption. And accountability. And free speech. And censorship. And big government. And pedophilia.

It's time to recognize that WE HAVE A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP and no genuine representation. Otherwise, we would not need to lobby our "representatives" and beg them to stop assaulting, kidnapping and killing us.

We have vicious fascists & impotent or collaborating politicians.

WE are The Resistance.
