A reminder that in January, 2021, shortly after being sworn into Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene stalked Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (Parkland, FL) mass-shooting survivor David Hogg through Washington DC, employing the anti-Semitic "George Soros funded!" trope.

Arresting citizens & those with legal status isn't a one off. It's happening regularly. It's even happening to pregnant women & children.

Silence is complicity.

This is indeed sad & hard to watch, but if not you, who will speak out? Who will tell others?

Translation: The Epstein files exposes what a sleeze Trump is and Republicans don't give a CRAP the donors listed in the Epstein files are still raping kids.
Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

This holiday season, we’re forking over the facts: Despite being pushed as a response to school shootings, there is zero evidence that putting guns in classrooms protects students. What it does introduce are serious risks for children, educators, and entire school communities. 🧵

These markers serve as powerful reminders of ICE's cruelty. By placing them in every city and town, we ensure these stories are never forgotten.

Let's start calling it the "Trump Murder Memo."

#TrumpMurderMemo
It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

Rep @rokhanna.bsky.social is spot on. We all see it, even if some won’t say it.

Schumer needs to take the same advice he gave Biden— step aside. He can stay in the Senate, but he’s not the leader for this moment or the future.

What we need now is someone willing to challenge him for the top spot.
