According to many politicians evoking great replacement theory, White people are *not* being criticized for their racism. Because apparently White racism no longer exists. Instead, these politicians argue White people are being relentlessly criticized for being White. Thus they must apologize. 1/2

According to a new CAP analysis, 119 members of Congress deny climate change. If you guessed they're all Repubs, you'd be right. They've pocketed more than $51 million in lifetime contributions from fossil fuel companies. Vote them all out!

Climate Deniers of the 119th Congress and the Second Trump Administration
A new CAP analysis finds that the federal government is rife with officials who deny climate change in leadership positions within the executive branch, presidential Cabinet, and Congress.

Maria Farmer worked for Epstein in 1996 and reported his "child pornography" to the FBI back then. They ignored her.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Epstein Survivor Jess Michaels: I'm feeling strangely validated. Because in plain sight, and with even with an act of Congress, we're seeing the exact same delays, negligence, corruption, incompetence that we've seen consistently and have been advocating about. They've actually proved our point.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Jack Smith still wants to speak in public:

In a new letter, Smith says he wants the American public to "hear the facts" about his two criminal cases against Trump — asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and schedule an open and public hearing.

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

The house, controlled by the worst of the worst people in America, who are controlled by billionaire super villains worldwide.

Voted yes to incarcerate, physically violate, and torture immigrant children.

I'm not alarmed. This is the feature, not a bug.

I am sickened though.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Please read this 🧵 about how the public is misled with propaganda. This is happening currently with the Trans community, immigrants and with women’s rights. It will then move on to the rest of the LBGTQIA+ community.
We are not going back. 😡

What you’re seeing about trans people today isn’t organic outrage. It’s an assembly line. Same phrases. Same moral framing. Same escalation. Different accounts. Same day. Once you see the pattern, the spell breaks. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy 12/13/25 AM
