If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

The Government Unconstitutionally Labels ICE Observers as Domestic Terrorists

DOJ: Nothing suggests Donald Trump is a sexual predator.
ME (thinking): How could an adjudicated rapist, accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, and comes up 100s of times in The Epstein Files, possibly be a sexual predator?

Why do all official U.S. government social media posts now sound like they were written by bratty 7th-graders trying to mimic Jim Jordan?

The US admin aims to protect unfair/predatory business practices and propaganda platforms of the US oligarchy in the EU.
The end goal is to disunite the EU and then enslave the individual countries.
It never has been about "free speech".

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.

“Finding” a million additional Epstein documents on the day everyone is distracted with their families is as competent as Pam Bondi’s coverup is ever going to get.

When Trump rants about "free speech," what he really means is that he wants to censor anyone who points out his lies.
European (and others) who publish factual information about hate groups to counteract their propaganda are being banned from entering the USA.
In the US, he is attacking news orgs.

The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois.
It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

Nothing like asking career AUSAs who have been under assault for the last year, watched their colleagues get fired for no reason, and their offices taken over by incompetent boobs to volunteer their time to perpetuate a cover up of their boss's involvement w/a sex predator 🙃

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

We're not supposed to be this angry every waking minute.
We're not supposed to live a life in stasis, waiting for the next Truly Fucked Up Thing to occur.
These "Current Times" are not normal, they are engineered by the sycophants & henchpepople of psychotic dictators.

There is no undoing the stink of this stuff for Republicans.
They are the party of pedophiles. People who voted for Trump voted for The Pedophile President. Twice.
I think it's genuinely crucial to NEVER stop shaming them for it. Don't be polite. They supported an evil man, and they were warned.
