One Battle After Another was filmed before Bovino's raids began, so we can now verify the prescience of Sean Penn's haircut and sadistic portrayal of an apparently real-life Lockjaw.
Bovino: "We're ratcheting operations up in Chicago. That's a very corrupt system in Chicago. Whether it's those elected leaders like Pritzker or those out of control judges, Chicago needs some attention. You're gonna see some very dynamic operations."

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"
pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

This is about women and children as objects and tools and how abuse of them is not just tolerated and ignored but facilitated and celebrated.

I wish the publishing world really were a meritocracy because if so, this would be winning prizes all over the place and sitting on airport shelves. As it should be.
This book so deserves a wider readership. I’ve never read such a clear, astute explanation for why things are the way they are now. Give this book a shot!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Sarah Kendzior was right about everything. Absolutely everything. The do-nothing, status-quo, Vichy Dems must go.
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

@schumer.senate.gov You brought us this after 4 years of do-nothing Garland and Smith. Don't you DARE help this dictator. You ought to demand that D.C. and Puerto Rico get statehood, and to expand the Court, but we'd settle for you not saving 47 who is paying bounty hunters to kidnap citizens.

It's a fuck you to everyone who showed up for No Kings. It's a fuck you to every Democrat that voted on Tuesday.

Fuck @schumer.senate.gov and any Dem senator who caves to the madman in the WH and his band of creeps. Just burning with rage right now.

Chicago, Illinois, 2025:

"They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van."

"They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other."

"I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'"

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Jeffries is every bit as bad as the placeholder Biden-Harris Administration that did not save democracy and spare us all this by finishing what the J6 Committee handed them, putting Trump in prison, and expanding SCOTUS. They have all breathed the same mild, "civilized" airs for too long.
Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this?

A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.
