Dave Jorgenson @davejorgenson.bsky.social · 23h

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Today’s peaceful protests were the perfect example of what @radiofreetom.bsky.social has repeated ad nauseum (only to receive ad hominem attacks):

We are not yet living under fascism.

Many of our current leaders are fascists. But they don’t control us yet and we need to make sure they never do.

When you see 2-3 percent doing something costly like protesting, you figure there are at least 10x who would like to but couldn't, 20x who largely agree, and 5-10 percent who are undecided but really thinking about what is going on.

The sum is way over 50 percent any way you cut it.

Just saw an extremely dumb post about how this is not what democracy
looks like because only 2% of the population turned out, it's what freedom of assembly looks like, and what the bleep do people even think democracy is? Freedom of assembly being part of democracy is elementary school civics.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

DOGE fired around 280,253 low-level federal employees making, at best, less than $35k a year, only to have the Republican budget bill mandate hiring 100k ICE agents costing $800k each with bonuses, tactical gear, and other infrastructure.

TRUMP LIT THE GERRYMANDERING FUSE

*Direct response to Trump’s push for red states like Texas to redraw their maps to disenfranchise Democrats and elect more Republicans

*Trump’s redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats

*CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
