With Good and Pretti, the world saw the Trump admin’s victim-blaming fall apart quickly in videos. But on-duty federal agents have shot at least 16 people over the past year, and the victim-blaming often falls apart quietly in court.

Still feelin' it! The only thing more powerful than hate is love - as Martin Luther King Jr said, "Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."

The SAVE Act is back before Congress again. It's NOT a voter ID bill, and it's aim is NOT really to stop non-citizens from voting. It's a voter registration bill that will create roadblocks for many American citizens to register to vote. Tell your representatives to vote NO on the SAVE Act.

"The most corrupt administration ever, and everybody knows it..."
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Compared to the rest of the world is the US "sweeping the Epstein scandal under the rug"? Be loud - don't let it happen!!
Fallout from the #EpsteinFiles has been more consequential overseas:
“It suggests to me we have a more functional media, we have a more functional accountability structure"🎯
Over here, we the ppl need to keep the spotlight on. Don't let them get away w a few sacrifices & 🧹 the rest under the rug.

Republicans Losing The Senate Too
Trump warned he would be Impeached if they lose the House.
A Democratic takeover of the Senate would be a political shock, neuter his last two years, and could lead to Removal after Impeachment.
Private GOP polls show it's possible.

Serious recommendations for meaningful reforms of ICE and CBP by someone who knows what he's talking about.
The problem of ICE/CBP reform is we have a monster rampaging through our democracy and are trying to restrict *which* cities it can pillage and *how many* civilians it can eat. The problem isn’t the restrictions on the monster; the problem is the monster. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...

Meanwhile: clinics closing, nurses cut, patients rationing meds
Leader Jeffries is right—taxpayer dollars should make life affordable, not fund brutality and lawlessness.
