- Reposted by Greetings From Out of the Blue … State 🐸But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.
- 🎯
- Reposted by Greetings From Out of the Blue … State 🐸Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
- Let’s take bets that blue states suffering from the same storm Do not get the same support from Trump.
- “A Democrat who steps up! Rep. Ted Lieu: "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands & thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children."
- Reposted by Greetings From Out of the Blue … State 🐸Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️
- 1/ And we should write free name, Trump’s and Republicans current practice. Fascism. Name it. Say it. “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.” said Socrates.
- Reposted by Greetings From Out of the Blue … State 🐸Welfare fraud should always be taken seriously, but the right’s characterization of it as an immigrant problem is completely off-base — US citizens account for 95% of fraud losses. cc: @cato.org
- Stand up, Dems. This is the way.
- “Trump demands $1 billion from Harvard as a prolonged standoff appears to deepen” www.boston.com/news/local-n...
- This is the way. “Lawmakers urge Healey to prepare for possible state prosecutions of federal officials”
- ICE are the real criminals. “Immigration agents draw guns, arrest activists following them in Minneapolis”
- 1/ “No administration has presided over as many shutdowns as the Trump regime. Even more striking is how much money Donald has reportedly made while holding office. By some accounts, the total exceeds two billion dollars in just his first year back in power.“

- Reposted by Greetings From Out of the Blue … State 🐸Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states. People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.
- “Marimar Martinez recounts shooting by immigration agent at Washington forum “I am Renee Good, I am Alex Pretti, I am Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, I am Keith Porter,” she said. “This needs to stop now. How many more lives must be lost before meaningful action is taken?”
- 1/ Republicans plan to steal the election. Democrats need to plan ahead. Volunteered to become an election observer. “The question is: how do we protect our elections knowing what Trump is up to and capable of?
- Bari Weiss and CBS are complicit “These men – Trump and Attia and others in the Epstein network of partying and playing and getting “massages” -- can slough off criticism of their behavior in years past because today, the Trump Department of Justice has said officially that they did nothing wrong.”
- I never buy from oligarchs who support fascists. “What are you NOT reading, you sly genius? Which Billionaire’s pockets are you NOT shoveling money into by NOT bothering to look at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Truth, &c., &c.,”
- 1/ “The killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the Veterans’ Administration, was a turning point. For many Americans, it woke them up. Now, Iowa’s Republican leaders want them to go back to sleep.”
- I’m not sure that the answer is no “Could Trump Really "Take Over" the Midterm Elections? The short answer is no, but he will try. Here's his strategy”
- 1/ Trump wants to run national elections. That’s a dictatorship. “Some may still be tempted to see this as late-stage Trumpian blather but attention needs to be paid because it is also consistent with Trump’s playbook about suppressing opposition, controlling elections & holding onto power.”
- This is not normal. This is fascism. #ImpeachTrump #AbolishDictatorships “A Psychopath Talking About Seizing Elections—and a Party Too Cowardly to Stop Him “This isn’t a policy disagreement. It’s authoritarianism, said out loud.”
- An American good news story “Gus Rickette of Uncle Remus Saucy Fried Chicken turns 100 this year in Chicago The legend and his late wife co-founded the Black-owned business in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side of the city”

- 1/ “Trump’s fascist arch is a vanity project, a tribute to self, a marble version of Melania, a marker of selfishness, corruption, depravity and evil.”
- Having watched Trump…it was a matter of time. “Malaysian maritime authorities have detained two crude oil tankers and seized approximately RM512 million (USD 129.9 million) worth of crude oil following a suspected unauthorized ship-to-ship transfer operation off the north-western coast of Penang”
- I wish she’d gotten it sooner. But I’m glad when anyone gets it. But it seems that it’s that it left them out. Yet the underlying principle of single party fascism that drew Greene and others still resides with them. When they get ‘democracy’, then I’ll be happy.

- Wow. Not just destroying freedom of the press, but pulverizing it. Physically.
- The federal search warrant for the home of the Washington Post reporter including permission for the FBI to force her face or fingers to unlock the phone. More on my Substack. Join me here: substack.com/@thefrankfig...
- ".. There’s no question that he is intimately involved with Grok — with the programming of it .. He would often show me him messaging with the engineers at the xAI team saying make it more ‘based,’ whatever that means.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

- And I have a bridge…
- This is the way. #BlueStatesAreHealthier “Illinois is joining a network of the World Health Organization in hopes of better positioning the state to handle potential health threats, following the U.S. withdrawal from the group last month.”
- 1/ Seems like things we should all know. The ultimate Trump grift. “Trump has sued the Internal Revenue Service for $10 billion. In the suit, filed in Miami federal court on Thursday, Trump alleges that the IRS was responsible for the leak of some Trump’s tax documents to press in September 2020.”
