Watching the fascists twist themselves into pretzels trying to convince us that we didn't just see government thugs straight up murder a woman tells me one thing ...
... the evidence in the Epstein files that incriminates Trump is both graphic and irrefutable.

X to limit editing function to paying subscribers after platform threatened with fines and regulatory action
Grok, Elon Musk’s AI tool, has switched off its image creation function for the vast majority of users after widespread outcry over its use to create sexually explicit and violent imagery.

Please remember to support independent media.
I am working a day job and trying to effectively communicate what is happening in the US and around the world right now, and my platform is shrinking.
Which means my funding is also shrinking. I need your help.

Recent events have really been weighing on me. But when I woke up this morning, something refreshing dawned on me: I don’t have to find out what Charlie Kirk thinks about all of this. 🙂

They clearly aren’t waiting for an excuse, comrade.
The anger you are feeling over Trump's ICE murdering Renee Nicole Good, then smearing her as a terrorist and now blocking the Minn investigation is all designed to get you to commit an act of violence. All fascist regimes need that excuse to suspend civil liberties. We can't give them that excuse.

It’s time for Americans to say “enough” and remind these Nazis and their enablers what was done to their predecessors in Germany
Rep. Randy Fine: "It's time for Americans to say 'enough,' and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Today, Hilton Worldwide has removed the Minneapolis hotel that refused to accept ICE bookings of Immigration from its system.
"Hilton is - and has always been - a welcoming place for all," the company said on X."
I welcome my immigrant neighbors.
For me, the Hilton boycott begins here and now.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Any Dem that does not have “Abolish ICE” as a major non-negotiable plank in their (re)election platform needs to be run out of town on the rails during the primaries.

Seriously? This has been US policy—more or less consistently—from the beginning. The only thing that distinguishes the so-called Trump doctrine from its previous iterations is the grotesquely unsubtle ways in which they talk about their goals and means.
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.
