The Epstein files are the distraction from the reality that we no longer have a functioning House of Representatives. The resistance needs to ramp up quickly because THIS is the constitutional crisis we need to resolve immediately.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

You can find the mailing addresses for the top military leaders here: www.defense.gov/Contact/Mail... In case you want to flood their offices with letters and postcards demanding they denounce the despicable display of troops booing California's governor and LA's mayor.

Of all the stupid, insane actions, moving all Social Security public communications to X is at the top of my list. How is this even legal?!?

If the tariffs were initiated by an Executive Order, and we know that EO’s are not laws, then what’s the legal penalty for not following it? Is there a legal penalty?

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

The most important message to get out to tRump supporters is that they describe immigrants, etc. as "parasites" is because that is exactly how they think of all non-billionaires. In their world, YOU are the parasite.

Venezuela minister says no Tren de Aragua members among US deportees
Venezuela's Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said on Friday that none of the hundreds of Venezuelans deported by the U.S. to a Salvadoran prison is a member of Venezuela's Tren de Aragua criminal gang, the reason Washington gave for expelling them.

Has anyone considered a Stepford Wives type scenario to explain Schumer's and Fetterman's sudden kowtowing? Fetterman went to Mar-a-Lago, so totally believable there's an underground mad scientist lab doing shady shit.

This is the most powerful piece I've read since the Democrats ceded all semblance of resistance & basically just told us to try& get along. The establishment Democrats will not save us! The Squad, Jasmine & other young Democrats are fighting for us with Bernie, Elizabeth & a few others. #RESIST

Regarding not being able to search for "#democrat" on IG... 1. Searching for "#democrat"; 2. Searching for "#republican"; 3. Searching for "democrat," no hashtag; 4. Results of no-hashtag search.
Search results for hashtag democrat shows three results, all of which relate to foreign democracies, not the US.Search results for hashtag republican include the complete term as both singular and plural, i.e. hashtag republicans.Search results for democrat without the hashtag offer multiple prompts like democratic memes plus democrat profiles and pagesScreenshot of search results for democrat without the hashtag, which were extensive.

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?
