ACLU of Texas, Human Rights Groups Reveal Abusive and Sexual Contact, Other Inhumane Conditions at Detention Center at Fort Bliss in El Paso - ACLU of Texas

How do you say “Abu Ghraib” in English? “Fort bliss,” apparently…

This kind of abuse is undoubtedly true, if not here, then at some other uncountable place where Trump has disappeared people — it’s what unaccountable people do.

I’m coming to realize there are two kinds of people in this country: those who think there’s too much suffering in the world, and those who think there’s not enough.

I would point out that Ottawa is a shorter throw than Caracas… and something, something “51st state.”

Screenshot of a post by Alex Luck criticizing others while showing an auction listing for a painting. The image displays a beach scene artwork featuring palm trees, a pinkish car, ocean waves, and a bright blue sky. Below the artwork is text identifying the artist as Hiroshi Nagai and describing the piece. Beneath that, a quoted post from the Department of Homeland Security repeats the phrase, “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.

The way to stop these “pundits” and their toxic BS is to make them part of the story. Open up their lives a sardine can and drag all their skeletons out into the light. It’s the only way to reset the media playing field.

This has been true since Trump’s firing of many career DOJ officials, but is now is terminally true: ANYONE who stays on in their jobs at DOJ after this is not just complicit, but a co-conspirator in Trump’s lawlessness. Everyone needs to resign. Today.

Exactly. Wanna turn this up to an 11? Ask every #GOP Rep/Senator/cabinet-member:

“what’s your #EpsteinNumber?”

Their Epstein number == the number of times they show up in the Epstein files/videos/etc.

#Trump’s is in the hundreds. Make them deny they’re in there; hound them with it.

That’s because all of you with real reach didn’t get the #EpsteinNumber trending to hound every GOP ghoul with their own (presumed) place on that list — maybe if you’d help make them squirm and run from their own involvement the outcome would be different.
