Been saying it for a year. This is, and always was, the plan.

You can expect authoritarian violence at the US #Midterms. Be prepared.

It’s been 29 days since 100% of the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released. Thus far less than 1% of heavily redacted and unexplained files have been released.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

Same idiots doing the same damage in each picture, slick. Im starting to think you aren't equipped for this discussion.

Yeah. We've noticed, bud.

The Epstein Files STILL have not been released.

If he wasn’t in them.

He’d have released them.

Thus far, it seems ti be going swimmingly.

Hold these scumbags accountable. Hold our political representatives accountable for holding these scumbags accountable.

Still can't get over President Biden getting the approval from SCOTUS to do whatever necessary within the power of the office to stop this all from happening, and promptly doing absolutely nothing to prevent it.

Earth to Democrats: Do NOT compromise on your shutdown demand.

In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”

According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

🧾 Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes' Mehdi debunks the president's lies, unpacks the failure of our mainstream media, and has the latest from Gaza, as well as Trump's 'Great Gatsby'-esque Halloween party.

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'"

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

Im really struggling with the fact that Biden was President when the SCOTUS determined the POTUS could do whatever they wanted, without legal repercussions, as long as it was viewed as an official duty of the office, and then he did absolutely nothing to prevent this. #Biden #Trump #Fascism

One day I will cross paths with them, and I am afraid that one of us will be carried away.

In the book 1984, which I don’t believe most people who say they have read it have actually read it, the government has an entire agency that just goes back and edits documents to match the current needs.

This is precisely that.

Tennessee man has charges are dropped over Trump meme relating to Charlie Kirk vigil Charges have been dropped against a Tennessee man who has been behind bars for more than a month after posting a meme featuring Donald Trump in a group setup as a memorial for slain right-wing activis...

Held in jail without charges till he lost his job. The sheriff who demanded for him to be arrested and the judge who acquiesced and set his bail at 2 million dollars should be the ones held responsible. It’s a chilling effect and they well know it.

The damage is done.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

🚨🇸🇩 The Blood is Visible From Space Peter Rothpletz on the genocide in Sudan, Trump’s latest weaponization of the DOJ, and 'journalists' from The Free Press wreaking havoc on both sides of the Atlantic.

"The sand in and around the city of approximately 400,000 is so caked with blood that you can see evidence of the RSF’s war crimes via satellite imagery, according to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL)."

Zeteo's Peter Rothpletz in today's First Draft morning newsletter, on Sudan:

#Steelers get hosed by #NFL refs again. No call on a clear offside by GB. Then they get a huge play on 3rd and long after a push off that should have been OPI - no call. They score on that drive. Several missed holding calls. Now GB is on top. Not fixed? Yeah, right.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Of Tyranny 199. As usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to. And this is making use of the power anyone has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage. When the governor, however entitled, makes not the law but his will the rule, and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion

Locke, Second Treatise of Government:

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

MAGA ruining golf is poetic and I hope they keep it up.

Been thinking a lot on this MLK Jr. quote lately:

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice…”

Release the Epstein files NOW

#Steelers fans?
