What happened in Texas was a setup the shooter knew they would see his bullets , he killed the immigrants but yet his bullets were anti ice. The only thing that makes sense is the right now are trying to setup the left . They are trying to make us look like the violent ones.

One of the reasons why the FBI is supposed to be apolitical is because Americans need to have trust that investigations into atrocities like this morning are competent and removed from politics. Instead, now that the FBI is highly politicized, half the country will not trust anything they say.

1. This is unquestionably illegal and almost certain to fail in court (only โ€œalmostโ€ bc our lawless SC runs on Fox vibes).
2. Dems need to figure out a plan if Congress refuses to certify election and tries to long parliament it (your obscure English Civil War ref).
It truly has come to that.

I think there are a lot of us who feel like we've been yelling this frantically into the void for a long time now. The experts keep saying it. All the signs are here. Many of us see it, and keep trying to sound the alarm, yet the public remains oblivious. It's terrifying. IDK how we break through.

Walmart and Home Depot have decided to cooperate with ICE. ๐Ÿคฌ

Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers.

If you werenโ€™t boycotting them before, you can add them to your list!!

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they canโ€™t โ€” LA Public Press When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborersโ€™ band โ€” now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

Timothy Snyder said recently that the resistance to fascism is sometimes highly organized, as with #NoKings, and sometimes develops spontaneously.

This is the latter.

L.A. resisters are finding hotels ICE agents stay in & making sure they DONโ€™T get a good nightโ€™s sleep.

Weโ€™ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonโ€™t share intel with us. Because people couldnโ€™t vote for a woman.

Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny - About the documentary | American Masters | PBS Discover Hannah Arendt, who transformed her time as a political prisoner during World War II into daring insights about totalitarianism.

I watched a screener of this from PBS โ€” it airs next week.

Highly recommended.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman shot in 'targeted' shootings: Sources

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.

People need to see whatโ€™s happening.

ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless.

Trump is ripping families apartโ€”and some folks still say, โ€œThatโ€™s what I voted for.โ€ If thatโ€™s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

If you are attending a #NoKings rally/march on Saturday, consider bringing an American flag!

We need to make this clear: we are Americans and we will not abide a wannabe king

MAGA doesn't own our flag

The show of unnecessary force in #LA conveniently distracts ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ from the scariest headliner:

The regime's trying to pass an unpopular bill that will negatively "transform our economy & ruin a lot of lives!"

Our to-do ๐Ÿ—’๏ธ:
1. KEEP peacefully protesting
2. KEEP ๐Ÿ“ž our Senators

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadnโ€™t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

The Trump administration falsely claims the protesters in Los Angeles are violent people but if you are on the ground in Los Angeles, you will see people from every walk of life.

They are protesting the treatment of people being illegally detained by ICE.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.โ€˜s extreme anti-vax views โ€” and his related conflicts of interest โ€” were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

The folks hollering about โ€œfamily valuesโ€ are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

Every marine entering California to oppress US citizens for an authoritarian against free speech is abandoning their oath to the Constitution, therefore removing any authority they have granted by it.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling.

Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption โ€œthisโ€ฆ isโ€ฆ notโ€ฆ peaceful.โ€ What he didnโ€™t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
