Ugh! Post should look like this, not that. But mostly: Cleve is a legend, my hero, a community organizer and LGBTQ leader since the 1970s, and a guy who can deliver a hell of a speech. Exactly what the moment needed and needs. Read it at the link.

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

"When it came time to pitch Anduril to her bosses, Ms. Boyle stayed up all night drafting a 16-page memo on just war theory, a centuries-old theological framework for determining when violence is morally justified."

Gilead / Orwell is just around the corner. Violent, extremist "Christians".

Katherine Boyle, former Peter Thiel intern, says government is an enemy of families.

So she's investing in high-tech weaponry...for the government.

I shared my thoughts on her "American Dynamism" — a VC pitch-deck version of Christian nationalism.

In Guiffre’s book, Epstein threatened to harm her brother if she ever told anyone about the abuse.
This is what they did to Katie Johnson when she filed her rape charges against Trump & Epstein; threatened her & her family leading her to drop the charges.

King Charles just booted his brother from his title because of Epstein. Pope Leo appears about to dissolve Opus Dei. But here in the US, Trump is pardoning George Santos, Vance is defending adult Hitler lovers, & Mike Johnson refuses to seat Grijalva because of what’s in the Epstein files.

Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles.

Exerts from Virginia Guthrie’s memoir, detailing her abuse by Andrew, played a role in his downfall. Tragically, she committed suicide last April.

It’s on all of us to make sure the other Epstein survivors get justice before it’s too late.

Today, King Charles removed Andrew‘s title because of his involvement in the Epstein files. They also fired the United States representative from England because he was in the Epstein files and they took away Fergie’s job at a nonprofit because of her emails in the Epstein files.! let this sink in

Epstein survivor: “I was raped three times a day and I wasn’t the only girl. It was a conveyor belt of abuse.” - London Daily
When a government shields the monsters behind that conveyor belt instead of locking them up, the system itself is the crime scene. Tear it down, start over, and finally put the predators in cages, not...

Prince Andrew can no longer be Duke of York (a ceremonial title) because of Epstein, but Donald Trump can still be President of the United States (a position of staggering real-world authority) *despite* Epstein.

Quite a stark contrast we are being offered here.

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone “hated America.”

I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.
