This thread is HORIFYING.
- An 18-year-old former Turning Point chapter VP says she was held down and assaulted at a TPUSA event. It was filmed without her consent, and a man can be heard saying "she is for the whole team" while she resists, and there is clearly blood visible on pants.
- The video was taken without her permission and the men jump onto her. She filed a police report with Rutgers PD. Instead of accountability, she says she got a threatened lawsuit, and that a Turning Point staffer deleted their messages.
- The man she accuses, Vincent Tabone (who goes by "Jim Callahan"), sent her an AI-written cease-and-desist and threatened a defamation suit.
- The man who allegedly filmed her, Daniel Baez of William Paterson University, kept contacting her after she told him to stop.
- Her Turning Point field rep, Anthony Romano, allegedly first told her to block Baez, later changed his position, and deleted their chat messages.
Then there's video of Turning Point's own general counsel walking into a room of underage drinkers, high schoolers included, and saying "I know you are all 21!"
Where is the outrage from the "protect the kids" crowd? Every reporter should be on this.
🚨BREAKING: Knox County Commissioner Drenda Keesee, a MAGA Republican elected in 2024, is under fire after her son Gary “Tom” Keesee Jr. was found guilty on all 27 counts of s*xually abusing children, including 11 r*pes.
Multiple witnesses at trial — including family members and, according to the county GOP, her own daughter — testified that she was aware of the abuse and failed to stop it or report it to authorities. The Knox County Republican Party itself called for her immediate resignation, citing the sworn testimony and her pattern of missing meetings.
Keesee and her husband co-founded and still lead Faith Life Church, where their son previously served as a youth pastor and media director before resigning in 2024. The abuse did not occur on church property, but much of it happened in the family home and involved girls connected to the church community.
While the son faces a potential life sentence, he remains free on bond until January sentencing. Drenda Keesee has not been charged, but the testimony and the GOP’s own demand for her resignation raise sharp questions about accountability for a Republican official who campaigned on law and order and Christian family values while allegedly knowing her son was r*ping children.
Drenda Kesee made protecting children from “transgender ideology” and drag queens central campaign themes while promoting “traditional” Christian family values. She made this her public persona all while allegedly doing nothing to stop her own son from s*xually abusing children.
Voters and local leaders are now asking the obvious: if the evidence is this clear, why is she still in office? Also, why hasn’t she been charged?
It’s amazing what you can get away with when you’re a good ol’ Christian conservative who claims you’re on “God’s” side.
It's a good time to restate: Trump CANNOT and DOES NOT see beyond himself - EVER. He is NOT strategic - he is transactional. He does not think, he feels. He's an amalgamation of impulses and cravings. Freud would call him a "human id."
He is now owned by his disorders. What I mean by that, is that his impulses and cravings outweigh even his self-interests. This is why it often seems as though he is trying to lose. He simply cannot pivot, he will almost always double down. He sees enemies in all disagreements, and he can never shut up or stop.
This is a dangerous malignant narcissist, defiant, old, ill, fearful of his own mortality, frustrated that he's no longer able to force-feed his concocted reality, fresh after his greatest-ever humiliation, terrified that all he is and all he ever said he was, could evaporate and crumble like a House of Cards, forever.
He knows he is in decline, and he knows he is losing everything. He WILL get worse, and - footnote to Republicans sitting with thumbs up their asses - he will NOT want to go down alone.
This is what MAGA fought tooth & nail for. They suicided their entire movement to keep it going.
Your hard earned tax dollars are being spent on this pure evil.
I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug."
What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD looks like Satan's Butt Plug.
And I wish people would stop twisting my words.
When a corrupt elite loots the economy, the people have only one mechanism left: the street.
Look at Paraguay. 3 million people—60% of the adult population—suddenly locked out of their money. The country paralyzed.
Here is the real story:
Santiago Peña was the perfect comprador. A US ally who aligned with Washington on everything. His government heavily promoted Ueno Bank. It serviced millions and held $850 million in public pension funds.
Then the scheme collapsed. Fraudulent loans, insolvency, frozen accounts. Retirees and workers took to the streets.
When the people filled the streets and dragged politicians out of Congress, Peña resigned mere minutes before the Chamber of Deputies voted to impeach him. Arrest orders are now out for the bank executives.
This is the material reality of the neoliberal model in the periphery. The comprador elite enriches itself, then flees when the architecture crumbles.
They privatize the profits, socialize the losses, and expect the working class to pay the bill.
But the Paraguayan people just proved a fundamental truth: You cannot bankrupt a people and expect them to remain silent.
When the institutional mechanisms fail, mass action is the only way to restore power to the people.
🇳🇵 Helicopters COLLIDE in Nepal, killing at least 1
2 helicopters operated by tourism aviation companies collided midair and crashed in Nepal’s Solukhumbu district, near the Everest region.
Police confirmed an Indian tourist was killed, while at least 1 Nepali was injured.
The cause of the incident remains unclear.
Those people on the ground made a NARROW escape.

Trump: “I could have won the Vietnam War in a week.”
He is so full of shit. He dodged the draft because he was too afraid to fight in the Vietnam war.
Vietnam and its communist forces won the war, just like Iran is winning the war right now.
There’s nothing “gutsy” about endorsing someone you told everyone you were working to defeat up to just a day ago.
Nothing about either candidate has changed. El-Sayed is not worse—and Rogers is not better—than a week ago, a month ago, or a year ago.
It’s either a long con, an intemperate decision, or a disconnect from reality.
BAN PRIVATE EQUITY. END THE CORPORATE LOOTING.
Wall Street buys our businesses, buries them in debt, strips their assets, guts their workforce, and walks away with the profits.
Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their livelihoods. Main Street becomes a graveyard of empty storefronts.
This isn't wealth creation. It's wealth extraction.
Our communities are NOT Wall Street's personal ATM.
