@democrats.org are not up for the task of protecting the people from the federal government's ongoing consolidation of power, secret paramilitary, and daily constitutional violations.

Fuck off. Get your shit together or get out of the way.

Last chance for Corporate Media to decide:
Do they still believe in #FreedomOfThePress
or have they all become Trump State Media?
We hope to hear Full throated condemnations starting with CNN and every single news division in American journalism

FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t “pivoting” or “turning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities after protest at Minnesota church service
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Friday post on X that Lemon was arrested alongside three others "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."

Q: Where the guns? Are they in the FBI's possession? And who has the phone that Pretti used to film?

BLANCHE: I don't know. I don't have answers to those questions

Q: Wouldn't that be something the FBI would need to conduct a thorough investigation?

BLANCHE: I was simply saying I don't know

You may not know her name now, but after this interview, you won't forget it.
Eliana Pinckney reflects on the death of her father in the Charleston Massacre.

This is a conversation you don't want to miss. Listen now!

The Charleston Massacre: Memory, Loss, and Legacy with Eliana Pinckney
We’re joined by Eliana Pinckney, daughter of the late Rev. Clementa Pinckney, to reflect on the Charleston massacre’s lasting impact and her father’s legacy of love, service, and civic duty. Eliana takes us back to being 11 and honors her mother’s quiet strength. She then talks about what it’s like to be part of the 9/11 generation shaped by gun violence, living with vigilance and exhaustion while “thoughts and prayers” continue to replace policy. We also talk about civic education, performative politics, and how Eliana turns art into activism and community into change.

This is my community in SC! The public response was wonderful! Young people drove by and honked. People saw us and joined in. They weren’t prepared for the cold but stayed anyway. It was a good day in Irmo, SC. I hope @juliezforsc.bsky.social wins her election to the General Assembly. #scpol
Jan 29- Thursday
Yesterday was the first anti ICE protest in Irmo, SC. It was an overwhelming success. An estimated 75 Americans from Irmo, Chapin, and Lexington came together yesterday to say Enough is Enough.This will be the first of many protests coming to the Irmo area soon. So stay tuned!

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

www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
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.

SO HALF.
Blanche on Epstein files: "The number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected. That's what we're releasing more than 3 million pages today and not the 6 million pages that we collected."

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

The arrests of Lemon and Fort are intended to deter journalists from doing work we need them to do, and that the First Amendment was meant to protect. DOJ should drop these prosecutions or the courts should throw them out. knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...

Illegally arresting journalists before releasing the Epstein Files.

Falsifying Georgia voting records before releasing the Epstein Files.

Tying to destroy the independence of Federal Reserve before releasing the Epstein Files.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.
