Billionaires ARE the problem
@salmonwatcher.bsky.social
Teacher of 26+ years. Twitter refugee. Never more disappointed than on 11/5/24, not even by Buckner or Bucky Dent! We shall overcome. America is better than this.
The DHS pattern is clear: 1) commit crimes against people, 2) smear the victims, 3) lie about the facts, 4) in court, retreat from the smears and lies since they won’t hold up & could get you charged with purjury!

DHS has zero credibility.

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.
Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap'
The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012.

Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

when @ariberman.bsky.social writes these words, it's a big fucking deal:

"In the past week, the different tactics the administration could use to interfere in the midterms have come into sharp focus."
Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day:

-using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities

-seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties

-prosecuting 2020 enemies

-extorting states for sensitive voter data

From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s plans to interfere in the midterms are becoming more dangerous
The seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia follows the DOJ’s demands for voter data in Minnesota.

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.
“.. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard speaks on the phone while standing inside a vehicle loaded with boxes outside the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center after the FBI executed a search warrant there.”

Every time I think about #MeToo I get mad all over again. We had about five minutes of women asking men to simply acknowledge the prevalence of sexual harassment ... and now 5+ years later we're still suffering the flailing, butthurt backlash.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

It sickens me that Alex Pretti worked for the government that murdered him.

May he rest in peace and may justice be served.

Correct. 18 U.S. Code § 241. Conspiracy against rights.

When that whistleblower leaked the secret memo instructing them to violate our 4th amendment rights, it became clear. They are also conspiring to violate our 1st and 5th amendment rights.

Every one involved must be prosecuted for this.

Just so we understand correctly, MAGA isn’t okay with an ICU Nurse being a lawful gun owner with permission to carry, but they are okay with Domestic terrorist double murderer Rittenhouse crossing state lines with an AR-15 so he could kill people with, which he did. Got it.

Unfortunately, the thing in the Oval Office (during the rare moments it’s away from Mar-a-Lago) actually WANTS more violence and death in Minnesota so that it can invoke the insurrection act.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
