The Epstein files are the distraction from the reality that we no longer have a functioning House of Representatives. The resistance needs to ramp up quickly because THIS is the constitutional crisis we need to resolve immediately.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

Trump’s people want to replace experienced civil servants with MAGA loyalists—scientists, experts, all out. Public comments on this rule are open until June 7. This is part of Project 2025. Speak up or get steamrolled.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:
“Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

If the tariffs were initiated by an Executive Order, and we know that EO’s are not laws, then what’s the legal penalty for not following it? Is there a legal penalty?

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

The most important message to get out to tRump supporters is that they describe immigrants, etc. as "parasites" is because that is exactly how they think of all non-billionaires. In their world, YOU are the parasite.
