I had the same reaction reading Jack Smith's testimony. Read it or watch the video. He is calm, confident, & eloquent while he sets the record straight. We allowed this to happen and it is up to us to stop it.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. My sister says María Corina Machado made a mockery of herself and the Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to a batshit crazy pedophile who rapes children and uses the Proud Boys to kill Americans and also I don't have a sister.

It’s like ICE stealing that kid’s phone and selling it. No responsibility, no law, just greedy violence. But on a massive scale. As though McKremlin consultants were explaining how to do it.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.
“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?
Answer? He wanted a *war*.

Reasons Trump is threatening to invade Greenland:
1. To hide the Epstein files.
2. To get the US expelled from NATO.
3. To divert European intelligence / support from Ukraine and the eastern front to the new western front.
4. He's a corrupt thieving greedy Nazi piece of shit.

Unfortunately true.
This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.
It is hard to explain institutional collapse to voters; videos where state actors are clearly acting in abusive ways explain themselves.

I know it’s rough out there. I feel it. It won’t be getting better any time soon. But, I hope you’ll stick in there, as will I. The country needs us. So, keep drinking your beverage of choice in the rain. The sun is sure to shine eventually.

6 kids hospitalized because ICE threw a flashbang into their car. The father said they were not a part of the protest, and he was just trying to get his family away from the situation.
Fuck you, ICE-holes, for injuring these children.

If you don't stand against fascism, you undoubtedly still be affected
This guy was just trying to get home, ICE threw a smoke grenade in the car. his kids ended up inhaling unknown amounts of smoke.
This is how fascism functions. The boot does not care who it stomps, remember that

After a 6-minute interview, she was hired as a full-time ICE deportation officer without filling out a background check and having smoked weed before the drug test. ‘Here’s your gun and badge now, start knocking heads!’
