Trump's Department of Justice released more #Epstein files last week, including the names and personal data of many victims.

Instead of protecting victims, they have chosen to hide the names amd identifying information for the pedophiles.

#USPol
#epsteinfiles

What possible reason could there be for redaction this name if not to protect him?

Email exchange reads (hidden source) "Thank you for a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty."

Epstein replies "Great"

Every time I criticize Republicans, they call me liberal. Criticize Democrats, they call me MAGA. Politics isn’t red vs blue, it’s class. Both parties lie about immigration, wages, healthcare, and culture wars to keep us divided while the billionaires get richer. “Socialist” and “communist” are demonized so you never question the system. This isn’t a Democrat vs Republican fight. It’s a class struggle, and that’s why I’m a socialist. #socialism #uspol

This week's comic on the US government shutdown

#cartoon #comic #uspol #ACA #healthcare #economy

Government Sh*tdown

REPUBLICANS HAVE CHOSEN TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN EXTEND HUGELY POPULAR TAX CREDITS THAT HELP TENS OF MILLIONS PAY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.

Mike Johnson lying on a chaise longue
Sign: Sorry, Were CLOSED
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
HAS GREAT HEALTH COVERAGE

PREMIUMS WILL SOAR FOR FARMERS, RANCHERS, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND SELF-EMPLOYED PEOPLE.

Farmer: I MAY BE SELF-RELIANT, BUT I CAN'T DO SURGERY ON MYSELF!

MEANWHILE, TRUMP IS GIVING $40 BILLION TO AN ARGENTINIAN MADMAN WHO WRECKED HIS OWN ECONOMY.

Milei with chainsaw: WHEEEE!
RRRR! RRRR!
PLEASE HELP.

THERE'S A MORAL IN HERE SOMEWHERE:
IF YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO FANTASIZES ABOUT DUMPING FECES ON AMERICANS…

Trump in fighter jet dumping poop

...THEN DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.

This famous poster from the Holocaust Museum displays the early warning signs of #fascism. While still applicable, I want to make it clear that we are chest-deep in the #fascist #cesspool and have been for *years*.

Pinning this to my profile in case you know someone who still has doubts. Send them this post.

History is repeating itself once again.

#unitedstates #uspol #uspolitics #antifascism #warning #History #resistandinsist

Early warning signs of fascism:

Powerful and continuing nationalism
Disdain for human rights
Identification of enemies as unifying cause
Supremacy of the military
Obsession with national security
Religion and government intertwined
Corporate power protected
Labor power suppressed
Disdain for intellectuals and the arts
Obsession with crime and punishment
Rampant cronyism and corruption
Fraudulent elections

Tad Stoermer Professor of the history of resistance

"All meaningful change in America has come with a body count. The bodies of those who were the victims of abusive authority & those who fought to end it. Because the awful truth about resistance is that abusive authority does not stop. When it gains control it uses it & the more it uses, the more it wants. It's a physical law. It will not stop unless it is stopped. It cannot be persuaded. (cont)

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results

https://www.reddit.com/r/esist/comments/1qqqe05/get_in_were_messing_up_melanias_amazon_search/

#Melania #MAGA #TRump #USPol #Propaganda

This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.

But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie.

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.

redditors have already pushed the book high: It's currently the 15th result when you search "Melania Trump." That's crazy. 2 days ago it wasn't even on the first page. With a little more push, we can keep this moving up the charts. We just need people to:

"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to buy the book.

That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

Please share!

Yo folks! I've partnered with a legal team who has asked me for assistance. Please share if you can

The US has implemented policies targeting non-citizens working in content moderation through deportations and visa denials. The org I'm working with is pursuing litigation to invalidate these policies.

We are looking for US-based, non-citizen Mastodon mods to be a (named or unnamed) plaintiff in the fight to protect the first amendment. Please dm me if interested!

“There’s this veneer of respect for privacy that is painted over all of this data aggregation and consolidation.”

But beneath it all, #privacy experts warn that smartphone-monitoring software "Tangles" is the latest in a law enforcement arsenal, from surveillance #tech to an army of drones, operating with little oversight.

The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/read-full-transcript-norah-odonnell-60-minutes-interview-with-president-trump/

"Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it."

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

NORAH O'DONNELL: Looked at this, the government at the time said that C.Z. had caused "significant harm to U.S. national security", essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. And what I wanna do is see crypto, 'cause if we don't do it it's gonna go to China, it's gonna go to-- this is no different to me than AI. My sons are involved in crypto much more than I-- me. I-- I know very little about it, other than one thing. It's a huge industry. And if we're not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%. This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence. But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He's highly respected. He's a very successful guy. They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it. I said, "Eh, it may look bad if I do it. I have to do the right thing." I don't know the man at all. I don't think I ever met him. Maybe I did. Or, you know, somebody shook my hand or something. But I don't think I ever met him. I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a v

The Boston Tea Party was about one person having unilateral power to impose tariffs (duties). The US was formed out of an opposition to this power and the US Constitution has specific language about it. It'd be quite a thing if the US Supreme Court undoes this founding principle. You might call that counterrevolutionary.

You need to be anti fascist.

Hating Trump isn't the same thing. That's little better than just blue maga.

Fascism is the problem, and it isn't going to just disappear when Trump is gone.

House Oversight Democrats have published a Web3 is Going Great-style “Trump Family Digital Grift” counter
https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/trump-family-corruption-tracker

This goes with their recent staff report, “Professionalized Corruption: How Donald Trump is abusing power and accepting digital kickbacks from foreign and criminal interests to cash in on the presidency like never before”

https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/imo/media/doc/12026cryptoreport.pdf

(The report cites my writing on Trump’s USD1 stablecoin, published here: https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-83/#trump-business-interests)

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics

Trump Family Digital Grift Profits $2,255,399,364.28
Total Trump Family Digital Grift Wealth $8,712,974,364.28
Trump Family Digital Grift Profits from Foreign Interests $437,004,026.96

While Americans struggle to buy groceries and pay rent, Donald Trump is making his family richer through digital grift schemes— collecting profits through digital wallets and granting pardons to the highest bidders.

While Trump and his family are using the White House to make billions, we are tracking every cent. As of January 2026, our Committee’s analysis shows that these schemes have contributed to an estimated $2.25 billion in realized profits for Trump from foreign payments, corrupt oligarchs, and others.

This total rises to as much as $9.7 billion when the value of Trump’s digital assets is factored in, with as much as $436 million coming from foreign interests. President Trump should be serving the American people—not his own pockets.

They lied about Renee Nicole Good, they're lying about Alex Jeffrey Pretti

It's what they do, and the Media just 'both sides' it like a Government lying about the death squads is just normal politics.

Walz calls Homeland Security narrative of shooting 'lies'
Gov. Tim Walz criticized the narrative put out by the federal government about the
shooting.
“Thank God we have video,” Walz said. “Because according to DHS, these seven
heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them, or something.”
“It’s nonsense, and it’s lies,” Walz said. “This needs to be the event that says,
‘enough.”

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!

Slowly and deliberately. Originally published June 17, 2021

“ there is something far more sinister about these bills.

The real threat is that these bills are quietly setting Republicans up to steal the 2024 Presidential election after failing in 2020. There are steps being taken at all levels of government to make this a reality.”

Has anyone noticed that trump speaks with some features of the #Iowan accent? I don't think it's the accent exactly, more the cadence or enunciation maybe? I noticed this when listening to interviewees at the Iowa state fair.

I then discovered that the Iowan accent is considered the most friendly and wondered if he'd adopted this way of speaking purposefully. Fake like his tan, hair, height, weight etc.

Would love to get some opinions.
