What we are witnessing is a CONSPIRACY by the Republican Party to protect a child rapist and a child sex trafficking network. This is the holy grail of corruption and they will protect it at ALL COSTS. They will NEVER willingly release the legitimate files. NEVER! Don't be fooled by their claims 😡

RFK Jr. himself is the living embodiment of an actual Hippocratic oath violation. This man is a monstrosity intent on killing children in the name of pseudoscience. THIS is what pseudoscience unleashed becomes! It's why we MUST STOP it early when it first appears in infomercials and FB posts. 😡
RFK Jr. is claiming that gender affirming care violates the Hippocratic oath to do no harm...

etc.

Trumps insane use of the "pardon" power is rivaled only by the emptying of Arkham Asylum villains into the streets of Gotham at the end of Batman Begins. It's an origin story of a new generation of American villains.

I guess we're all Batman now.

An inflection point has been reached. We are no longer witnessing the consolidation of authoritarian power, we are witnessing its collapse. Republican leadership knows they've failed. Yes, we'll win... but the danger and cost will still be very high in the years ahead.

Indiana Republican senate votes down redistricting.

Trump failed at authoritarian consolidation and he's losing his grip on power.

We're going to win.

Hegseth is a war criminal. THIS is why he fired the JAGs. He intended to use the military illegally and to murder at his discretion. THIS is the “lethality” he bragged about.

The Republican Party continues to create, collect, and protect war criminals without accountability. Party’s OVER! 😡
Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

I switched to Lowe's years ago and have NEVER gone back to Home Depot... and NEVER will. I've lowered my #ConsumerFootprint significantly, but the money I do spend goes to local businesses and those that actually care about customers.

Genuine & consistent customer respect is profitable.
🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI.

"Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements"

Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

We've been boycotting these businesses for over a year. So, doing so for Black Friday is no problem. It's all part of lowering our #ConsumerFootprint as a means of resistance. #WeAintBuyingIt and hopefully, neither are YOU. ✊
It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

The whole purpose of her line of questioning is to produce a sound bite they can use for views and clicks. She’s practically telling him the exact words she wants him to say. But Mamdani doesn’t bite.

This is why I ditched corporate media a year ago. Never going back!
Welker: Do you think that Trump is a fascist?

Mamdani: That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today.

Welker: You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe Trump is a threat to the democracy?

Mamdani: Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe.

No surprise here… right-wing media is a grift. Duh! That great “political realignment” pundits boasted about after the 2024 election was all manufactured.

It will be my absolute pleasure. Done and DONE! ✊🏼🤨
😠 Are you sick of corporations enabling this administration by ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chasing tax breaks?

Listen and understand the very real threat this represents. Republicans have no other option than to END American democracy in order to survive politically.

They only have one shot and will be at their MOST DANGEROUS in the years ahead.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This isn't an exaggeration. This is real, folks. THIS is America under Republican rule. 😡
The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

I'm glad he's so "shook" but still don't trust him. The Epstein files are the holy grail of corruption and they know it. Republicans aren't playing by the rules (or laws) and know it's GAME OVER if the legit files are released. They're gonna fight and we should be (non-violently) ready.
holy shit mike johnson is SHOOK on Epstein vote in Senate

So, just so everyone understands: the Epstein Files Transparency Act that's being voted on today allows for NO redaction of the names of people mentioned in the files, other than victims.

That's what he's mad about. He wants perps and associates of Epstein to be protected.
Mike Johnson expresses concern that requiring the Epstein files to come out "could ruin the reputations of completely innocent people, such as those who may just have known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes or whose names he exploited and used to try to get close to his intended victims."
