Her record should scare you OPPOSE ANNA ST. JOHN'S JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT!

Image
  three months. That’s how long one of Trump’s judicial crony nominees, Anna St. John, has been a judge — and he’s already promoting her to another lifetime seat on the federal bench. Why the rush? Because she’s already shown exactly what kind of judge she'll be. During her hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, she refused to say who won the 2020 election or that January 6th was an attack on the Capitol. The only thing she showed the committee is where her loyalty lies. And her record backs it up. Before the judgeship, St. John ran interference for corporations — fighting affirmative action, branding diversity programs "discriminatory," and defending forced arbitration clauses that keep sexual assault survivors out of the courtroom. She isn't an independent nominee. She's loyal to Trump, his agenda, and the billionaires bankrolling him — and she'll rule to protect the wannabe authoritarian who put her on the federal bench.

prairieland protesters collectively received 562 years in federal prison

  ✍️ Petition: NYT, CNN, WaPo Must Cover Prairieland as Silencing Dissent Add Your Name Nine people connected to a July 4th noise demonstration outside a Texas ICE detention center have collectively received 562 years in federal prison — the longest sentences ever handed down to a group of political anarchist defendants in U.S. history. Most received decades-long terms not for violence, but for attending a protest, wearing dark clothing, using an encrypted messaging app, or belonging to a book club. One man received 30 years for moving a box of zines — despite not attending the protest at all. A federal judge said openly at sentencing that he wanted to send a message to anyone with similar ideology. The prosecution called the Emma Goldman Book Club a terrorist front. The government's own expert witness defined antifa membership as believing in anarchism or non-authoritarian socialism. This is not a crime story. It is a political prosecution — and it is part of a deliberate, expandi...

    Watch now   NEWS: Epstein Investigation Escalates, America Becomes 'Post-Literate Society,' Mexico Takes Legal Action against US for Immigrant Deaths Aaron Parnas Jul 9     Good morning, everyone. Today’s headlines are packed. America is slipping in literacy and increasingly becoming a post-literate society. On Capitol Hill, the Epstein investigation is accelerating ahead of Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing. Democrats are calling it Trump’s Watergate, survivors are accusing a key witness of misleading Congress, and new developments continue to emerge. Overseas, the war with Iran is escalating, while Ukraine is intensifying its strikes deep inside Russia as pressure mounts on the Kremlin. I also woke up to find that I had lost multiple paid subscribers because I have spent so much time covering the Epstein files here on Substack. That isn’t going to change. I will continue reporting on the Epstein files and giving survivors a platform because I believe thi...
