Well., you can't mention Epstein, or ICE, or Gaza, or Minnesota, on Tik Tok this morning. All politics is now 'under review.'

Pass it on. No surprise - nurses come through for each other
Nurses are pissed.
This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

The playbook has been around for a while
Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

As long as the Ellisons control it, TikTok is over. It's not safe. Larry Ellison is actively trying to bring total surveillance into being and as people are seeing, suppressing information. Delete it.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Definitely in the thousands now at this Chicago protest against Trump’s domestic terrorism.

I think I have a cortisol hangover from yelling at elected officials + rage + grief yesterday. Reminder to take breaks and do other things sometimes

Reminder from Priya Satia (Raymond A. Spruance prof of int'l history at Stanford) of the oligarchic tyranny of Parliament that helped get us to this point. "Conscience can’t stay the hand of unstable, violent, narcissistic personalities; it requires action" history.stanford.edu/news/deep-ro...

Late in 1774, Lord Robert Clive was found dead in his London townhouse. Rumors flew that conscience had finally compelled the rapacious conqueror to take his own life.

"It does not matter, in practical terms, whether ICE's actions are legal. In mafia states, legal is a malleable notion. What matters is that they are wrong. What matters is how they can be stopped."

The US was formed from a conscious choice to reject monarchy while still inheriting power structures from it. We rebelled against a King, not so much the oligarchic Parliament. We are watching a threat consolidate while pretending it’s still negotiable. It's not. Now or never, America.

Checked police forums: they're livid about Alex Pretti's execution & said the guy in the grey sweatshirt who walked away with the gun, shot it right away. He held it with intent to shoot it and he did. We just watched that one segment & sure looks like they're right. He intended to escalate things.

The time to stop Trump was 2015.
But now, there is no plausible deniability even for the guardians of pedophiles.
It is either totalitarianism, or, it is opposition to Trump.
Any GOP or otherwise, all people who do not oppose Trump now are knowing enemies of the United States, freedom, and life.

Anecdotal, but my mother, her aunts, as well as my Jamaican aunties were all nurses. I would never want to piss off nurses. They are formidable and they take care of their own.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Do you have any idea how furious the American people are? We are being executed in broad daylight. Get out of the pockets of your megadonors and remember your oath to the Constitution. Abolish ICE, impeach the mad man, etc. And release the damned Epstein files.
