Tbc, I'm blocking all fake leftists who refuse to grapple with our country's well established racism & misogyny & hide behind "economic anxiety," which it was never about, not in the 1930s, 2016, or 2024, & I'm not putting up with anyone who pretends otherwise. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

"Our fair republic must be the victim of the monster slavery unless we speedily rise in all our might and boldly shout for freedom ... It is not a question merely of what shall we do with four millions of Africans, but what are the rights of man." - Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was not exactly woke.

Anti-choice extremists in Indiana are trying to force the release of records for the very few legal abortions in the state (146 in 2024). The purpose is to intimidate patients and providers and expose them to harassment, arrests, and violence.

Abortion rights opponents want Indiana to use reporting rules to expose abortion providers and recipients to targeting.

We've all heard "no one is free until everyone is free" etc but I really do think the example of the abolitionists is instructive: they knew that tyranny is rapacious and insatiable, that it spreads, and that violence visited on one group serves to demean and terrorize everyone else.

But also, what ABOUT the 5-yr-old US citizen? It's not like GOP policies are helping them out, either.

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

It’s true that federal agents are attacking our city, abducting our neighbors, terrifying tens of thousands of people into hiding. But you’ve rooted out the real enemy: the liberals who are also fighting them, but not leftishly enough.

Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

The Epstein class loves to cite Machiavelli and so forth but they are still deeply insecure people who don't even have the guts to look people in the eye when they fire them. They know they should be ashamed, and this one of the reasons why it's important we constantly criticize their bad behavior.

You created a place where the police and the criminals look and act the same, the relevance of crimes against a person is tied directly to their political beliefs, the political beliefs of 1/3 of the country are effectively “fuck those people” and you’re confused about crime - by anyone - going up?

We are a third world country with a tin pot dictator. The dissonance is real. Where America sees a glorious reflection the rest of the world sees a fun house mirror. They speak softly to avoid the consequences of our volatility. Erraticism and violence are why they answer the phone.

The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.
