Remember folks, the Bonus Marchers were orderly and peaceful, too. Beer Bong Pete and Googly Eyes are lackeys of American Fascist plutocrats just like Dugout Doug.

The so-called peace President has doubled the government expenditure for pepperballs and non-lethal rounds to be used against Americans exercising their First Amendment Rights.

Let's get this straight: Speaker Johnson canceled session and refuses to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th signer of the discharge petition to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Bring us back in session, release the files, and let's open the government.

Let me guess, ICE CUBES ranting after these "Messican looking" Menominee people?

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

ICE hit our area hard again today. I spent the morning and afternoon on patrol, and then came home for Understory, the emotional and spiritual support group for activists I co-facilitate. @tanuja.bsky.social was going to cover for me, but I decided I needed to be there, for my sake. I was right.

It is pretty funny that he seems to genuinely think he needed the Nobel to enter heaven but a bunch of Norwegian Eurocrats damned his soul to hell and gave some Venezuelan lady his ticket to the pearly gates.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

When even Yglesias knows you are full of it.

Matthew Yglesias quote tweeting Sally Jenkins tweet of the “Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss” article

Sally: This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob.

Matt: I don't think people are "betting against Bari Weiss" the concern is that she will succeed in transforming CBS News into regime-aligned propaganda.

China is extremely opportunistic and self serving. They string Russia along and take full advantage of Russia being an isolated criminal state. Xi and the CCP could give two shits about Putin's ambitions. China are still ducks for doing business with Russian criminals though.

One weekend in mid-August, hundreds of inmates at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, were locked down, except one: 63-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice in the sexual abuse of underage girls. She was expecting a secret visitor. www.wsj.com/us-news/ghis...

Hey what’s it called when the president decides what information the press is allowed to publish?

No, just ask Donald Trump. This is his policy.
