It's good to remember that while Spain survived Franco, and Panama survived Noriega and Russia survived Stalin, China survived Mao...many hundreds of thousands of individual people did *not* survive those regimes.
It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

Armed ICE agents are moving through Puerto Rican neighborhoods with assault rifles, threatening residents who film them with pepper spray.
In Villa Capri, a restaurant owner refused agents entry when they tried to enter without a warrant.
Watch and share everywhere!
Puerto Ricans are American citizens by birth. Yet armed federal agents are moving through their communities, confronting residents and threatening people documenting their actions.
Brown skin and speaking Spanish do not make anyone a foreigner.
Brown Puerto Ricans are not outsiders. Their families have lived on that island for generations. Federal agents arriving from elsewhere don't get to decide who belongs in those communities.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating.
Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.
You should be cheering nearly as much for Lula's victory in Brazil as you would for Trump's death.
Because Trump's loss in Brazil will halt his plans to completely control the Americas for good
“Might push her out.” Mike Collins offered those words about Nancy Pelosi during a July 2021 radio interview, then said he was joking. Go ahead, explain the joke. Explain what makes a woman falling from a plane funny. I’d love to hear the family-values version.
When Trump urged Ramaswamy to keep running the vile attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, the message to survivors of sexual abuse was unmistakable. Her mother defended Acton’s stepfather after he was accused of raping her starting at 9 years old, and lost custody of Acton & her brother.
ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle.
Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV.
The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Ukraine says the abrupt throttling of US-funded Starshield grounded dozens of drones mid-flight, costing one unit $1M+, and halted some strikes for three days (New York Times)

You conquer them and expunge them. That’s what you do.
