We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

As the dust settles from that pathetic Trump military parade…oh man. Completely humiliating. I mean, truly a global embarrassment. Barely anyone showed up, Trump looked impotent, and quite frankly, the military didn’t look great, since the military ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS CRAP

A college classmate in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this photo she took at the “No Kings” protest there. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to it.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

One of my biggest disappointments in American discourse over the past decade has been the mainstream media. With very few exceptions, they have failed the American people miserably.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is bc of Trump and Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

BREAKING: At 11 MILLION attending, No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... A political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has ever held power after 3.5% of its population takes to the streets. Let's go!!!

The right is now saying everyone was at the event in huge numbers but they were silent and the squeaky noises were all you could hear because they were being respectful something that “the left” doesn’t know anything about. Was this a funeral or a celebration?

Technically Kamala won according to deep dives into irregularities, a final report & court case. So what do we do about it? We have 3.5% on the streets AND if we can motivate even half the voters who voted, we'd have 25% on the streets. THAT SHOULD DO IT. m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.
