We have a documentary about everything ever — yet not a single doc about the Butler, PA assassination event. Not a single interview with the Butler shooter’s family or former friends. Not a single teacher who has come forward to say “yeah he was an odd kid…” www.wired.com/story/maga-i...

MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged
Conspiracy theories about the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting have ramped up in recent weeks as once steadfast Trump supporters turn on the president.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

I’ve been trying to get a dental issue addressed by the VA since August. I was supposed to have my appointment today. They called me this morning and cancelled due to a sick employee. They told me the earliest I can be seen is February. The VA has never been this bad. Trump & MAGA broke the VA.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I never thought in my lifetime that fascism would come to our country and most Americans. So many just kind of shrug and go, “Oh well nothing I can do about that…” when there absolutely is something we can do about it.

Do folks realize all that ICE is doing and with the budget they’ve just been given - this is all a dress rehearsal for suppressing the vote in future elections. Think ICE style raids on polling places in contested areas with key Democratic turnout.

I fear that Iran has/will have a deal with Russia - military aid and support (hundreds of thousands of drones for example) in their war with Ukraine in exchange for Russia hosting an Iranian nuclear development program on its soil (where it would be presumably safe from Israeli and American attacks)

There will be times when the truth feels buried—drowned out by chaos, distraction, & outrage. When facts don’t seem to matter, when cruelty is applauded, and when the institutions we trusted feel hollow. But in those moments, remember: freedom is not a gift—it is a demand we must make, again & again

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)
