Conclusive Evidence ur liars & homicidal maniacs w/blood-lust. You want 2 kill, maim, terrorize. This man had a phone. He helped observers who’d been pepper-sprayed. Agents sprayed him. He was bent over w/his back to agents who tackled & shot him **after** confiscating his legal gun [🎥dropsite news]

[Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother To Newsmax]: “There’s a facility in Winchester, VA where they’re scrubbing the files to take GOP names out. That’s what I was told by a pretty good source.” **Anxiously anticipating the moment when “the sources” w/copies of the original Epstein files tell us otherwise**😉

Did Trump just reveal top secret info about US military maneuvers? Im no military expert, but it sounds like intel that could inform our adversaries—or worse—endanger our service members. “That submarine started immediately after & it’s just lurking, but I’m sure we’re not gonna have to use it.”

Charlie Kirk’s Killer: Alt-right Groyper Nick Fuentes fans are Groypers. It’s a racist variant of Pepe-the-frog. The term came from coordinated on-and-offline activism targeting mainstream conservatives they saw as insufficiently extreme. Groyper’s often heckled/harassed figures like Charlie Kirk.

The preachy Utah Gov keeps quoting Charlie Kirk like he was some wise sage & not a racist. He’s obviously a Kirk fanboy, but to say NOTHING has ever angered you more than Charlie Kirk’s death is wild. Nothing? Not even the mass school shootings that left multiple, innocent children dead?

Refresh my memory…Did Trump order flags fly at half mast when MN Democratic Speaker of the House, Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed? Did he condemn political violence after her death? Did he even mention her name? #ThatsRhetorical Charlie’s murder remains evil, hateful & wrong.
Trump says he’s ordering all US flags lowered to half-mast in honor of Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk is dead & I’m sick. Political violence — ALL violence — should be condemned! And while I believe Charlie was a virulent racist, white nationalist & white supremacist, what I know is that he didn’t deserve to lose his life. This is hateful; it’s wrong. And I’m saddened for his family.

I see Alina Habba has found a storyline for her reality-show performance as US Attny for NJ. In this episode: charge and arrest a sitting US Congresswoman for… doing her job. These charges will be unceremoniously thrown-out or dismissed, just as the charges against Mayor Baraka were dismissed.

This is so sad. This young woman who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sex trafficking her as a child experienced one tragedy after another. Now she’s dead at 41. If it weren’t for her family statement, I’d believe she died by suicide about as much as I believed Epstein died by hanging himself.

Some food for serious thought from @TheSource25.✊🏾✊🏾
Evil, profoundly immoral and wicked
Trump's evil is systemic, his people make it possible.
We tend to think of evil as dramatic, profound, a lone villain committing a monstrous act. But modern evil is often bureaucratic, disorganized & deceptively ordinary. Trump's evil is not in his calculated genius but in his sheer recklessness, hollowness & ability to empower cruelty without hesitation. Yet, despite the enormity of his crimes, the world refuses to call Trump & his people what they indeed are.
Beneath the bullying, the taunts, the mangled syntax, the shocking stupidity, one senses evil in its rawest form. Not just ignorance, not just incompetence, or evil. His actions are almost guaranteed to be idiotic, but not just any kind of idiotic, dangerously, epically so. Still, he has reshaped the world in ways that will outlast him.
Trump is responsible for an unfathomable amount of suffering and death, from internment camps at the southern border to the emboldening of white supremacists, from a pandemic death toll that could have been prevented to the systemic erosion of democratic institutions. True horror is not just the scale of harm but also the cognitive dissonance that allows so many to dismiss it. How does someone so shallow leave behind so much destruction? The answer lies in systemic evil, the vast, far-reaching networks of power, law enforcement, and bureaucracy that Trump exploits. His violence is elusive. It hides behind institutions that give cruelty an air of legitimacy. He does not personally build the cages or deport the immigrants. He does not personally rig the justice system or strip away rights. But his people do.  Stephen Miller continues to shape some of the most racist and authoritarian policies in modern history, feeding the far-right's immigration agenda & laying the groundwork for mass deportations. J.D. Vance, an ideological foot soldier, works to turn Trumpism into an institutionalized nationalist movement that will outlive Trump himself.

Elon Musk, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, weaponizes his platforms to amplify far-right extremism, suppress dissent, and inject chaos into public discourse.
Peter Thiel, a billionaire tech mogul, backs Trump's return with a vision of a techno-authoritarian state, using Al, surveillance, and corporate power to ensure the dominance of an elite class.
Kash Patel, Trump's FBI director-in-waiting, is already working to turn federal law enforcement into a political weapon, targeting dissenters and eliminating institutional safeguards.
Tulsi Gabbard, a longtime enabler of authoritarianism, poses as an independent thinker while actively laundering Trump's ideology into mainstream discourse. She plays the role of a reasonable centrist while promoting right-wing grievances, defending authoritarian leaders, and discrediting legitimate democratic institutions. Her function is not direct governance but public manipulation, ensuring that Trumpism appears palatable to those who reject the outright lunacy of MAGA but still hunger for its authoritarian solutions.

These individuals are not ignorant or misguided. They know exactly what they are doing and do it without hesitation.
This is the modern paradox of evil. We imagine it as a singular figure, a dictator, a tyrant who must be removed. But evil today is diffuse, bureaucratic, and embedded in the structures that rule our lives. It is not about one man but a system built to sustain itself through cruelty. If Trump were gone tomorrow, his enablers would remain, the institutions they corrupted would persist, and the damage would continue.
And yet, the world still laughs at him. It mocks his stupidity, his incoherence, and his fragile ego. But mockery is not action. We have been trained to believe that evil must look like a movie villain: calculating, cold, and ruthlessly efficient. But modern evil masquerades as incompetence. It wears the face of a bumbling fool, a washed-up reality star who stumbles into power and, in d…
