So I saw Jack Smith (yes, that one) as a speaker in a lecture series at George Mason University last week. He talked about democracy, integrity, and the rule of law. He said character and integrity are foundations to the rule of law. (1/7)

This horror will get worse. This is Trump’s fascism on steroids. Horrific and indefensible.

💚💚 We stand with & support our brave EPA colleagues who took the courageous step to sign a public Declaration of Dissent to their administrator. They do this BECAUSE of their commitment to protecting the environment and American people.
Tonight, the EPA illegally fired many of the public signers.

Well, look at this. I just received a photo that shows Jason Lee Van Dyke replaced his Proud Boys tattoo with a Patriot Front tattoo. He posted the photo to his IG account on Oct. 20, 2024.
Van Dyke has repeatedly denied any association with PF other than providing legal aide to its members.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, and lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
