AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

If FIFA had a spine—which we know it does not—it would move all World Cup games to Canada and Mexico.

We don’t deserve to host them, and foreign players and fans do not deserve to be subjected to threats from Miller’s CBP and ICE thugs.

WELL DONE ZACK!

This is how you respond to lazy, barbed questions from the likes of Trevor Phillips - honestly and robustly. It’s a pleasure to witness. Go Greens!

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

UPDATE: A former Trump attorney has now publicly stated that he believes Kasparov has summarized Trump's intentions *perfectly*: what the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and pedophile protector-in-chief is planning is the end of democracy—a fascist regime—this year or next.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

Ghislaine Maxwell’s refusal to answer questions before Congress draws criticism: ‘Who is she protecting?’ Democratic representative says Epstein associate’s decision to invoke fifth amendment points to ‘White House cover-up’

Maxwell is publicly offering Trump a choice: (1) Grant me clemency and I'll lie to protect you, or (2) deny my request and I'll tell the truth about your crimes as a pedophile.

If Congress wants, they can short-circuit her game by granting her immunity on the condition that she tells the truth.

The UK's Independent gives the film one star out of five, saying: "[The] First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda ... Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving - with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism - the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring's staring up at his looted Monet."
The publication continued: "The "film" is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact - like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will - of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly."

Even in our polarized country, more and more people from left, right, and center are coalescing to demand change.

It's happening because a freedom-loving nation does not allow masked, militarized government agents to violate our civil liberties.

Filming the police is not obstruction.

Filming the police is not resisting.

Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting.

Holding onto your phone is not resisting.

Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

Two images taken 85 years apart on different continents, but the similarities are unmistakable.

BTW: The murderer in the picture on the right was eventually identified in 2025. Let's hope it does not take 84 years to identify the fascist on the left.

ICE and Trump have fully lost control of any narrative. Because all anyone saw yesterday was a bunch of insecure incels killing a man for being everything that is seen as what makes a good man.
