There are still 5,000,000+ pages of Epstein files that have not been released. Trump and Pam Bondi want to keep them hidden but we will not rest until we have every single file. Release the files, NOW.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Mary Miller (R-IL) quoted Hitler on the steps of the Capitol on January 5th, the day before a Republican mob attacked the Capitol, one wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" T-shirt and Elon Musk gave Heil Hitler salutes and Donald Trump says he wish he had Hitler's generals. Johnson is good with all of that.
Q: Are you worried about extremist pro-Hitler sentiment among young Republicans?
JOHNSON: No. I don't know who any of these people are. I've never heard of them. Somebody posted a photo of me standing next to these guys wearing tuxedos. It was at the inauguration, people were coming up for selfies
