#MattGaetz #EpsteinFiles #GOP #MAGA #fascism

a 17 year-old homeless teenager prostituted herself for orthodontic care and the pedophile #MattGaetz was one of her rapists; because, let’s be clear: this is how #pedophiles #ephebophiles use poverty ―to #rape.

it’s coercion ―as in, there is no #consent―, when a teenager resorts to #prostitution to survive #poverty.

yes, teenagers have agency, but this isn’t one of those moments.

rich men exploiting poverty-stricken teenagers are rapists.

wanna remind people that Jeffrey Epstein’s main function was of using #rape as the social glue of Reaganism’s #globalization. so it’s really not a coincidence its full realization happened thanks to Bill Clinton.

what the #EpsteinFiles will show is how his Lolita Express captured the global 1%; to bring them in line with the brand of American #fascism peddled by the #GOP under Reagan & Bush: sociopaths dressed in business suits, cocaine-addled, ruling the world from boom-boom rooms.

But as fear spread, so did something else — neighbors stepping up for one another & finding creative ways to show up for vendors & restaurant owners. This includes a grassroots effort to organize so-called “buy out” events meant to allow vendors who fear being detained by #immigration agents to go home early.

Street vendors, fearing arrest, have been afraid to leave their homes to #work. Local restaurants have struggled as customers stay home.

A judge’s decision to read a 111-yr-old poem in court before curbing federal agents’ #UseOfForce in #Chicago has brought fresh relevance to an iconic piece of local #literature.

In a ruling addressing actions by federal #immigration agents, US District Judge #SaraEllis last week recited #CarlSandburg’s 1914 composition “Chicago,” known for praising the town’s working-class roots & coining the “City of the Big Shoulders” moniker.

#DHS would not comment on the specific incident, instead sending a similar statement to one it sent the day before in response to inquiries about its campaign in Little Village Saturday — where shots were *allegedly* fired at agents, acc/to DHS, multiple people were arrested after residents responded to agents detaining people.

The video, filmed by Veraza’s wife in the passenger seat, shows a masked federal agent driving a black pickup truck & firing pepper spray into the open driver’s window of a vehicle. The video later shows his daughter, whose face is censored, crying as someone says, “You’re OK, Mama, you’re OK” & people wash out their eyes.

“I didn’t have to go through this, & my daughter didn’t have to go through this,” Veraza said. “We aren’t protesters, we weren’t going after them, we weren’t attacking them.”

Veraza said his family is considering legal action to help pay for specialist care that he said his daughter now requires.

The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.

Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.

Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.

Kanawha County Circuit Judge Richard D. Lindsay made the ruling after hearing arguments in a lawsuit by a civic organization.

Must read IMHO.

"Do you feel like America is living in an authoritarian state?

Of course. I think right now, the Trump regime has decided it has enough of the levers of power that they don’t need to have public support anymore. And it is not clear to me whether or not they’re correct on that. They might be wrong. They might have just misstated the moment, and in fact, there will be civil resistance. The institutions will see that they have to unify. That might happen. Civil society is not, I think, buying the propaganda line of the regime. So I’m not saying by any means that things are lost. And in fact, the rapidity by which this has happened might actually work against this coup that is now happening."

"I knew that Yale would try to normalize the situation, escape being in the press, urge us to see the fascists as just politically different, and talk about polarization, which is just fascism. All the people talking about polarization are just fascism enablers. They’re almost worse than the fascists because they’re just like, “Hey, how do I keep getting money in power?” I’ll say the fascists are normal."

And we’ve already had that total breakdown because starting in 2015, we had this Coke-funded movement creating a moral panic about universities, and the New York Times piled on this moral panic. You couldn’t open the New York Times for years without reading another op-ed about hysterical moral panic about leftists on campus. All the while it was a total fiction that the whole time the right-wing press from Turning Points USA’s Professor Watchlist, originally Breitbart, Campus Reform, there was this massive attack on progressives and universities where progressive professors were terrified of being targeted by the conservative students and universities completely. So the media viciously attacked universities and set the groundwork for Trumpism. So that has to stop, and the both-siderism has to stop. The whole stuff about polarization, that’s just enabling fascism. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/11/jason-stanley-fascism-trump-history/

Um, that’s my biggest concern, that is really the only thing Im trying to address with this… what’s called compensation but it’s not like I’m gonna go spend the money, it’s just if we build this robot army do I have at least a strong influence over that robot army? Not control but a strong influence.
