#nokings rally I went to in Extremely Normie Chicago suburb was easily triple the size of earlier one. TRIPLE. & that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Previous one, occasionally cars would beep, this time every single car was leaning on the horn the whole time. Encouraging cacophony. 👊🏻💚

Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day

Trump is waging war against the American government. When he’s done, he’ll use his government to wage war against Americans.

Allies of the fascist regime are referring to the residents of our capital city as “cockroaches.”
This is explicitly neo-Nazi language used in service of making Jeffrey Epstein‘s best friend into dictator for life.

"Even in the worst circumstances, people have power, the power to decide how they will conduct themselves in the choices that remain to them, and that includes the power of our words."
There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation. Which is why it makes my head explode when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics.

The Epstein birthday card is now public. (Trump can continue to pretend it's not real, but that's not the point.)
The point: If the card were the worst thing for Trump in the files, why wouldn't Trump now make the Epstein files public?
Conclusion: There are worse things for Trump in the files.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.
