I did a deep dive on the State Dept’s designations of four “Antifa” groups.

State doesn’t even allege that they have targeted Americans or the U.S.

3 of them don’t appear to be Antifa.

The 1 that is Antifa was designated in part for fighting neo-Nazi groups, which haven’t been designated.
The State Dept's designations of Antifa undermine claims that the mvmnt poses a significant terrorist threat to Americans, counterextremism expert @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social writes

The 4 designated groups haven’t targeted Americans. 3 don’t appear to be Antifa.

Yes indeed. Look at Clay Higgins, the only member of Congress to vote against releasing the Epstein files, siding against survivors who deserve the truth. Louisiana deserves leaders who don’t shield predators.
Who don’t bury justice.
Vote him out.

The continued dismantling of the Dept of Ed is extremely concerning to me, especially as a father of two kids in elementary school.

We should be doing everything we can to support our kids and provide them opportunities—not dismantling every structure that exists to do so.

Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto.

The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

This constant abusive behavior by the President of the United States is incredibly triggering to SA and/or DV survivors.

Statistics state 1 in 6 women have been assaulted in our lifetime.
But we all know that number is even higher - coercion, threats, death, silence.

The complicity is worse.

A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly

Because they aren't just detaining undocumented people. They are also detaining permanent residents & citizens & you could be next.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Trump has fought release of the Epstein Files for years and now may use a new DOJ probe as a smokescreen to stall them again.

Here’s the truth: he could release the files RIGHT NOW.

If he wanted them out, they would already be out. time.com/7334450/epst...
