I just discovered this account and have begun to follow it. I think it will be quite interesting and offer a lot of information for those of us who value democracy and our country- #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks
Dark enlightenment & other crazy Thiel pet projects are unfolding. It's critical that people understand that the brownshirts hacking the entire USA infrastructure and dismantling it are his and Elon minions. Thiel sees himself as some sort of Saruman, while he fondles his Palantír.
What’s happening now is part of a plan to end democracy:

“It is clear that Thiel sees corporations as the governments of the future and capitalists such as himself as the kings, and it is also clear that this is a shockingly common view in Thiel’s cohort.”

Trump keeps hurling insults at journalists, especially women: “stupid,” “pig,” “horrible person.” He rages at the New York Times for pointing out his fatigue, calling a reporter “ugly” and “second-rate.” Always the same pathetic anger.

Release ALL Epstein files… fat pig !

He makes me sick. Trump’s a dirty conman. It’s exactly as you say. No unhealthy person will be able to afford health ins.
Additionally, Trump will make deals with insurers, he’ll offer them tax breaks to do his bidding.
Soon, eligibility will be based on race.

"Kill them all," said SecDef Kegbreath. He is a violent criminal. Not worried about actual national defense - just illegal macho attacks on unarmed sailors in international waters. #ProudBlue #Resistance wapo.st/49KbUJ1
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

I am not the least bit surprised, and I don’t think anyone of us are- the current regime incessantly lies about everything-

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

Survivors work hard to convince ourselves it's all good. We fear healing because it hurts. Continuing to say "it's okay" when we know it's not adds more pain.

Your pain can be your teacher. Going through it and not around brings peace. 💐

Piggy, ugly, stupid. Three female reports in less than a week were verbally assaulted by the man masquerading as president. Trump is increasingly unhinged. His sudden outburst of aggressive behavior is a harbinger of deepinging dementia. Release his MRI Scan & cognitive test results. #ProudBlue #V4V

This is completely 🩸 on the hands of the PedoPigPrez, his shitfaced drunk Defense Sec’y, puppy killer Sec’y of Homeland Insecurity & their Crypt Ghoul all so desperate to never release the Epstein Files. They’re playing with American lives.

You all do know that this entire thing is part of the plan to declare Martial Law, right?
Those 2 guardsmen were sacrificed by this admin in the same way those folks in Butler were.
This is a tinder box.

The near future seems to hold the announcement of martial law...canceling the midterms? The general election?

If so, it's premeditated and he's planning never to depart the WH.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.
