Fierce defender of Democracy. Given the dangerous far-right extremism we need to work together to increase awareness and defeat the rise of fascism in America and around the World. Silence is complicity.

If you’re furious about the allegations against sleazeball Eric Swalwell, wait until you hear about the man a unanimous jury found liable for sexual abuse, and who not only didn't resign, but he went on to become President of the United States, receiving over 77 million votes.

If Melania Trump wants to support Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and clear any perceived ties to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, she should call for the full release of the Epstein files, as required by law.

Jared Kushner isn’t getting nearly enough blame for helping drag the U.S. into the Iran war by working with his friend, Benjamin Netanyahu, to manipulate his impulsive, reckless father-in-law. Jarod's corrupt father, Charles Kushner, is a long-time friend of Netanyahu.

Now that Todd Blanche has replaced Attorney General Pam Bondi, we need to double down on the release of ALL the Epstein files as they are legally obligated to do. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TODD BLANCHE!

As if the catastrophe created by Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump were not enough, Netanyahu is now invading southern Lebanon, displacing over 1 million people. Telling civilians not to shelter others echoes some of the darkest chapters in history.

I don’t think most Americans, including Democrats, grasp how Trump’s war with Iran has pushed global risk to a far more dangerous level than anything we’ve seen before. For example, I used to view the risk of either a Great Depression or nuclear war as under 1%. Now I see both above 10%.

AI most definitely needs to be regulated. But, for now, the war in Iran is a far more immediate and bigger concern. We need to be smart about what battles we prioritize. Timing is everything.

2/2 Did your belief that “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump”, as you posted, play any role in your decision to attack Iran? How many American lives are you willing to sacrifice? How much do you estimate the war on Iran will eventually cost the American taxpayers?

1/2 Questions for Trump: What exactly was the evidence that Iran was “on the verge of launching a preemptive strike against America” that led you to justify attacking Iran without Congressional approval?

The Trump administration will fight tooth & nail to protect Howard Lutnick, because if Lutnick is forced to resign, it would mean that Trump, who has far more connections to Epstein, would need to resign. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/27/e...

I 100% agree, it would benefit Democrats to aggressively push for Tariff rebates from the Treasury.

EvanOlsen @evanolsen.bsky.social · 24/02/2026
Agree it has to be returned but I'm not sure how. I'm guessing it would be easy to identify how much each American business paid in tariff fees. But, determining how much individual American consumers were impacted seems extremely complicated.

Trump and Bondi are deliberately and illegally redacting and withholding incriminating files relating to potential evidence of Trump abusing a 13-year-old. Bondi is withholding three FBI reports relating to the crime. IT'S A COVER-UP! • 18 U.S.C. § 1505 • 18 U.S.C. § 1512 • 18 U.S.C. § 1519

Trump doesn't give a damn about the people of Venezuela. This isn't about drug trafficking. It's all about Venezuela's massive oil reserves. Bonus points for distracting attention from the Epstein files and Jack Smith's testimony.

So the DOJ inexcusably failed to redact the name of a survivor and, at the same time, deliberately & inappropriately, redacted the names of potential sexual predators and close associates of Epstein.

EvanOlsen @evanolsen.bsky.social · 24/12/2025
I have seen some people suggesting the DOJ is deliberately planting some fake documents as a way to try to undermine the legitimate Epstein documents. If so, it is more evidence of a cover-up. If not, OMG. Tread carefully.

Deliberately lying and spreading misinformation is a highly effective strategy used by the Trump administration. The strategy works like this: tell a lie, repeat the lie, have others repeat the same lie, over and over. Works like a charm.

1/2 Very good news today that Trump is backing down from his massively harmful tariffs! I suspect, if anything, China benefited more from the trade deal than America, but at this point I don’t care as I am just glad Trump’s reckless tariff foolishness appears to be winding down...

'80% Tariff on China seems right': Trump floats deescalation ahead of weekend trade talks
President Trump laid down a clear marker for deescalation Friday, posting that "80% Tariff on China seems right" ahead of much-anticipated trade talks with China that are set to begin this weekend.
