FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

My parents were "too proud" to ask for assistance. I was cold, hungry and neglected often.

I just thought that was normal. It was awful.

Virginia Giuffre’s Nobody’s Girl exposes more than personal horror — it unmasks a global system of power and exploitation. As a teenager, she was “gifted” by Epstein and Maxwell to powerful men, revealing a network of sex slavery sustained by silence, wealth, and political complicity.

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

This article is great about the "antifa" myth, but it oversimplifies in calling the Proud Boys a "far-right gang". They're an influence op, started by a journalist (Gavin McInnes), then shaped by dirty trickster Roger Stone. Joe Biggs, who led the PBs march on Jan 6, was an InfoWars 'journalist'.

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 16h

When Trump or his goons talk about "antifa," they might as well be talking about demons or leprechauns.

But this fake threat shows how the Trump administration has fully absorbed real organized criminal gangs.

Yep, echoes of Nazi history in this.

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

For those of you who don't know, author @sarahkendzior.bsky.social coined "transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government" in her 2020 book, "Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America"

It's a powerful read, as are all of Sarah's works. Buy/Read.

"The Trump administration is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government. The foundation of this edifice was formed not when Trump took office, but decades before, through prolonged engagement with criminal or criminal-adjacent actors linked to hostile regimes, in particular, the Kremlin and its oligarch network.

So much of this Platner discourse is both condescending and highly offensive to the millions of blue-collar and rural Americans who go to work and love their neighbors and would never dream of getting a Nazi tattoo and don’t say racist or sexist stuff

Trump’s new ballroom you’re paying for is going to be bigger than the White House itself. Because he believes he is more important than the country.

The symbolism is disgraceful and obvious. Again: Republicans would lose their minds if Obama did this.
