Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

If you’re a Democrat and your position is anything less than abolishing and prosecuting Trump’s secret police, then you are complicit and enabling fascism through thine cowardice.

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.

Every Democratic leader.

Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head.

Every CEO.

Every religious leader.

If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

Dems have to shut the government down until ICE and CBP are totally defunded.

This is the basement of what we need right now. An easy lift, supported by the vast majority of Americans.

Shut it down. Defund, abolish, and take DHS with it.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I talked today on my broadcast about how easy it is for white folks to believe the 2024 election was stolen because it means we don’t have to confront how we let other white folks get away with their bullshit and vote Trump.

There’s still people clinging to the “it was stolen” thing in my mentions.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

May seem mad to a lot of people but if we keep voting for the lesser evil in perpetuity, evil still wins and things will only keep getting worse.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Some of us weren’t “high-functioning.”
We were high-masking.
And no one saw the difference until we collapsed.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The hardest part of inertia isn’t the undone task.

It’s the shame story that wraps itself around the stuckness.

That old voice whispering: you’re lazy, you’re failing, you should be able to.

Sometimes the work isn’t finishing the thing.

It’s staying with ourselves when we can’t.
