Money needs to be removed from Politics - anyone involved in the creation and enforcement of laws needs to be paid a generous wage but cannot hold stocks or own businesses. Any holdings are signed over to a blind trust when taking office. Political donations are abolished, all needs...

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

Yes, they are like that. Even the ones who are smart enough to behave in polite company. If you haven’t caught them being like that, they certainly tolerate those who are like that. It isn’t the Young ones, only. It’s all of them. Because they are very bad people. And always were. This is not new.

Some of the brightest former CIA, FBI, and NSA minds are about to deliver a blunt assessment of the threat we face. I’ve had Steven Cash (He was awarded the CIA’s Medal of Merit for his work on a sensitive project) @steadystatevets.bsky.social on my podcast...he’s the real deal. Stay tuned.

Tomorrow, we release the Steady State’s assessment of American democracy—written by former national security officials using the same tools once used to evaluate authoritarian regimes abroad. The conclusion is clear: We are facing an existential threat of growing autocracy here in the US.

New from me at @therealnews.com: I am reporting from the ICE demonstration in Portland as federal officers escalate violence against demonstrators, and the threat of national guard troops could ignite the mass demonstrations.

Violence at Portland’s ICE facility is coming from one side: the officers
“People of all ages showed up on Sunday, some of which had a small picket line going, others blowing bubbles and using their voices to condemn [law enforcement’s] behavior. But it doesn’t matter what ...

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

The decision to target these workers was clearly politically motivated, as evidenced by…

Being up against fascists who will lie about anything & have less than zero shame is exhausting.

Now they're trying to gaslight us that we're the ones who hate America.

No.
We don't hate America.

We hate cruelty, lying, selfishness, greed, racism, & violence.

Russian propagandist Solovyev continues to entertain us. He went on X,saw my post and Polish FM Sikorski's comment,then started crying and screaming.He is still very upset about the villa in Italy that was taken away from him

By the way,Solovyev's 'media presence' is by now an artificial phenomenon

They call themselves patriots while plotting against democracy, cheering coups, and worshiping a con man. This isn’t a movement. It’s a cult with corporate sponsors.

They cut school lunches, gut teacher pay, and ban books. Then they call it “family values.” No, it’s child neglect dressed up as virtue.
