Sex trafficking by elites or anyone is moral degradation. What the Epstein class has been doing degrades the entire planet & all of its inhabitants. Too many dismiss the Epstein class crimes wishing they could jet around dismissive of everyone. So they just dismiss.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Republicans, MAGA extremists, are saying “socialism” is coming to get you without explaining what they mean as “socialism”. President Truman knew in 1952. This game is old. Republicans today are fascists, selling our country out to Russia & billionaires. Taking your money & jobs, leaving you out.
Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump has approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The deeply troubling details now circulating show what Trump wants: to help the Russian president,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues, “and to weaken Ukraine, perhaps fatally.”

Trump & all Congressional Republicans are committing treason as they contemplate going forward with Russia’s plan to give Russia control over Ukraine & Europe and tie US hands for at least the next three years with a high price into the future. We are all losing!

Republicans are missing in action on “law & order”, letting the White House rewrite the laws any which way they want, allowing threats of execution for free speech, pardoning dangerous repeat criminals, calling military members losers when they die for our nation.

While Republicans try to keep trans kids out of girls sports, guns & active shooters have turned our schools & society into killing fields with a growing gun & active shooter drill industry reaping profits. Where is our commonsense? This film shows us what we are creating. A life of expensive fear.

Where do you think the cuts in public media goes? To billionaires, big corporations & their politicians to monopolize our media, entertainment, news, education & information to keep us under their thumbs, paying our taxes & income to them for their benefit, not ours & not for the common good.

Have you ever watched a cat play with a mouse? This is what Trump has always done with everyone. Watch our nation get flipped, kicked, pawed, mouthed, knocked & chased around keeping it only alive enough to continue the game. Haven’t we had enough? Don’t be a mouse!!

What is “gender ideology”? Does eliminating “gender ideology” mean males & females should not identify as either so we should do away with male & female discussions & facilities? This looks like the solution to the “trans” issue Republicans are so worked up about.

The last time the Catholic Church stepped up like this in the U.S. was against pro fascist Father Coughlin. We are not a Christian, “prolife” or any other kind of moral nation when we need an intervention by the Catholic Church.

Being moral citizens for the common good has never come naturally for Americans. Our Founding Fathers recognized this and tried anyway to design a democratic government & nation in spite of our human tendencies. We are proving them right to our own great loss & destruction.

Corruption & violence are fine with Republicans when they do it. Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, was caught accepting $50,000 from federal agents in a bribery sting & was not prosecuted. ICE breaks into cars, roughs people up, abuses children, takes citizens.
