Educator and mom seeking liberty and justice for all. Democracy hopeful. Proud Harris/Walz voter.
Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

The Trump Organization is reportedly in talks to bring a Trump-branded property to one of Saudi Arabia’s biggest state-owned real estate projects.

In unrelated news, MBS is meeting Trump on Tuesday, in his first visit to the WH since the brutal murder of Khashoggi

Excellent reminder of all the ACA provides us. And about the GOP-nothing-plan that doesn’t exist.
Forget extending the tax credits, now the Republicans are talking getting rid of the Affordable Care Act completely...

What does freedom mean to you?

Have you asked your low info voter friends that?

Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?

Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?

Silence is complicity.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.
