Many local governments adorn their police cars with "We Serve and Protect." When will they start protecting their law-abiding citizens from #ICE? Time and again we see local cops standing idle as ICE thugs abuse local citizens. #ReleaseEpsteinFiles #Trump #Minneapolis

CAN YOU SEE CLEARLY NOW? — The Weekly Opine
Dear Trump voter: The signs were flashing all along. But blinded by your lack of empathy and basic decency, you were hoodwinked into believing “those other” people would suffer the wrath of Trump’s ...

#Trump says he’s “locked and loaded” to defend protesters in Iran. In the U.S., Trump is locked and loaded using tear gas, shooting rubber pepper bullets, and beating up peaceful protesters. #ReleaseEpsteinFiles #NoKings

A LUMP OF COAL — The Weekly Opine
Madman gains no sympathy Richard Nixon’s announcement on August 8, 1973, that he would resign the following day, elicited a modicum of sympathy for the disgraced president. When he turned to face th...

Hopefully, Massie, Khanna, the #EpsteinSurvivors and others outside DOJ will soon realize now is the moment to make public everything they have. Don’t go all Merrick Garland and let #Trump run out the clock. It’s time. Whoever has evidence, let it rip. #resist #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

As Year 1 ends on #Trump 2.0, it will be challenging for #democracy to fend off 3 more years of ICE, RFK Jr., jobs lost to #AI, greed-fueled government corruption and a Supreme Court that enables American fascism. Indiana voting “no” to #redistricting gives us hope. #EpsteinFiles #Venezuela #resist

While a sane judge would surely toss the false sedition charges, if it ever came to prosecution, at least Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin and the others can take solace in the fact that #Trump pardoned all the Jan. 6 people convicted of sedition. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

#Trump supporters at their core are racist. They hide behind policies, e.g., anti-abortion, that many traditional GOP politicians support. MAGAs ignore Trump's crimes but they'd go ballistic if Biden was a 34x felon. This tells us what MAGAs really believe in is Trump's racism. #ReleaseEpsteinFiles

It’s incredibly helpful #MTG is pushing for #ReleaseEpsteinFiles, still she can’t be trusted. On #CNN she just said there’s no place for nasty political rhetoric but then said she stands by her violence-celebrating social media posts. And she wants to repair her relationship with #PedoTrump. Nuts!

MAGA Iowans gave the business to their House rep re: ACA at town hall. They asked what’s her plan in the face of healthcare costs about to double. She had no answer. Good to see voters are coming around. Many of them initially hated ACA when it was called Obamacare. #ReleaseEpsteinFiles #Trump
