We track the right wing outrage machine to expose how fear programming spreads and how these narratives shape people’s beliefs before they know they’re being influenced. Understanding the playbook is the first step in defeating it. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue 11/21/25AM

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

Among New Mexicans, the nick name for Texas is "Mordor." And Trump is aiming to make it live up to that name. ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into one big concentration camp.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
