The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

2/7 In 1984, the Ministry of Truth's job was to rewrite history to match the Party's current ideology. Right now, the Interior Dept has a database of plans to revise or remove info on black history, LGBT rights, and climate change at hundreds of national park sites. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

The inconvenient TRUTH about social media. History happens to catch up with you in the end #TrumpTheWarCriminal and your ILLEGAL #TrumpsEpsteinWar.

Two votes separate Berger and Page. I’ve not heard how many dollars Page spent on his campaign but if Berger really spent $10 million on a primary campaign that seems to be a very extravagant and excessive amount of money to spend on a primary campaign and heaven only knows how much he’s going

to spend to overturn the results. Frankly, it’s time for the Berger chokehold on the state of North Carolina to end and if it’s by two votes, that speaks to the importance of every vote counts! Thanks for listening to my rambling brain dump!

Brian McGuiness a former Marine and Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, spoke out against this illegal war with Iran. He stated that Americans shouldn't have to fight a war for Israel and this is how he was treated. They broke his arm!🤬🤬🤬

Donald Trump's crimes have never been hidden. The courts, the media, the legal system won't touch him. It falls to ordinary people to keep calling out the crimes and shining a light into the darkness that is the White House. charlieangus.substack.com/p/it-falls-t...

Rising costs, corporate greed, and unchecked corruption have eroded the people’s trust in government. Building it back means we need to halt the flow of unchecked dark money in politics. We need to #EndCitizensUnited.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Please - when you say the names of Alex Pretti & Renee Good, remember to include Keith Porter. All three were murdered by ICE. Say their names.

Alex walked the walk. I pray that our congressmen and women can find the internal fortitude, the integrity to follow in his footsteps and stop talking the talk, but rather vote to defund ICE, impeach Trump and prosecute Noem & co. We need real leaders. Alex Pretti like leaders.

.@PabloReports: Would you vote for any funding increases for ICE? Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

I was wrong. We cannot simply wait out the next three years. We need to DO SOMETHING!! We can't even wait for the midterms. Trump needs to go NOW!! The sooner he's gone, the sooner we can begin to deal with the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder of it all..

In JD Vance’s world, Jonathan Ross is both the hero and the victim. The woman he killed? She’s the perpetrator, solely responsible for her own death. This is peak abuser language and a public battering of a woman killed by an abusive government agent. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...
