So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Trump ordered a show of force on Oct 18th, directing the military to fire rockets over a California highway to intimidate US civilians. A rocket malfunctioned & detonated, damaging JD Vance’s security detail. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's decision to close the highway saved lives.

Turn off your Face ID and Touch ID if you are taking your phones to the protests. Keep it in airplane mode and use encrypted apps where possible. Protect yourself.

“I expected there were documents like this, but seeing it in print is nevertheless shocking. Our government is being driven by nonsensical dreck from dark corners of social media.”

Keep a record of all crimes against humanity committed by ICE and Trump, it'll be submitted to the ICC. If the US is serious about accountability it is time to make becoming an ICC signatory a priority electoral demand. #3E #EndImpunity

I have absolutely no pity nor sympathy for Mitch McConnell, he’s one of the most evil corrupt beings on the planet who destroyed our Supreme Court and led this country to the disastrous train wreck we are in today.

Personally, instead of sitting (which would assist cops in kettling the crowd), I'd move away from the violence. But it's up to you in the situation you're in. Just be aware that there may be troublemakers among you.

Trump ICE regime troops terrorizing American civilians out shopping, knowing fully well they are US citizens. The regime thugs are violently chasing people, especially nonwhites, they don't show them ID.

I'll be doing an (atypically-timed!) Rachel Maddow Show tonight -- Friday night -- at 8PM Eastern on MSNBC.

Then right after, at 9PM, it's the premier of our new documentary: "Andrew Young: The Dirty Work"...

See you then!

The only people that benefit from the US not signing on to the Rome Statue are those who are committing international crimes. No, it doesn't only happen to far away countries, it can happen your community, family, friends, and you. The ICC is there to ensure our right to justice. #3E #EndImpunity

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.
