That’s how I felt yesterday after seeing the video of the Hispanic man and his teenage son getting detained. Star soccer player shaking his head and crying as they led him and his father out. The anguish on his face unforgettable. Read later they’d injured him.

“The software materials, officials said, were designed for exclusive use by the U.S. government and trusted allies.”

Look at this shit:

“Karl called it Trump’s ‘personal finest moment.’”

Jan. 6 Participant Who ‘Fled to Russia’ Hasn’t Come Home Pro-Kremlin propagandist Charles Bausman has reemerged as a media commentator in Russia since leaving behind nearly $1 million in property following the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection in Washington...

He was the guy that made news for moving back to the U.S. from Russia in 2018 and purchasing a house for cash in Pennsylvania. He fled back to Russia after his role on January 6.

Interesting mention: oligarch funded American with a long history supporting Russian objectives.

J6er and white supremacist connected to extremist groups, Charles Jacob Bausman, played a major role in Moldova pushing Russia’s message of the Orthodox Church’s persecution of Christians.

“We’re not going to do this to disenfranchise Blacks,” said Sen. Mike Cierpiot, a Lee’s Summit Republican. “We are doing it to defeat Democrats who, as far as I know, are not a protected class.”

They did this during the first Trump administration too.

They gamed the algorithm to influence polls on Trump’s handling of immigration by passing off old immigration arrests and crackdowns as current news.

If someone did a search for the specific news it already ranked high in search results.

Apparently Reagan did not understand that as president he had access to 100 percent of all classified information and asked Casey if he—Reagan—was cleared to read the report. Casey left it with the Gipper and it disappeared.

It seems so if you consider his comments on more than one occasion that he doubts he’ll get into heaven. Reflections on his mortality.

He’s reaping exactly what he sowed.

Remember folks — there was no such exoneration.

Russia interfered in the election to help Trump. And Paul Manafort gave polling data and campaign strategy to the KGB.

This judge is nailing it.

NEW: Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino says he does not have a body-worn camera.

Ellis: If you asked for one, I bet you could get one. Is that fair?

Bovino: Yes, ma'am.

He agrees to get a camera by Friday and undergo the training.

$85B budget prior to the Big Bullshit Bill passing.

Tomorrow, Greg Bovino will be in Judge Ellis's courtroom. Tonight, we filed a motion to amend the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to PROHIBIT federal forces from using tear gas from now until the preliminary injunction hearing Nov. 5. Read the motion here: www.loevy.com/wp-content/u...

And have him announce while wearing his tan suit.

Well written piece, as always. An entire system and community failed this man. May your telling of his story be the catalyst one day for his sons to reconnect with their father.

Decoherence Media will identify and expose fascists, whether they’re wearing khakis, a suit, or a badge.

I'm excited but a bit sad to announce that I've left Bellingcat to start a nonprofit investigative outlet focused on the far-right. We're called Decoherence Media, and we're launching today.

Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House One man's robot vacuum was constantly communicating with its manufacturer, sending a detailed 3D map of his house halfway across the world.

"Smart devices" are ALWAYS surveillance devices, as @jesgilbert.bsky.social & I write about in The Secret Life of Data. If it needs To Connect to WiFi in order to operate, you don't want it in your home.

This refers to the video message to the congregation but it’s an entertaining read given that’s not super clear at first.

American Oversight Seeks Emergency Court Relief Over Apparent DHS Cover-Up of Text Messages by Noem, Other Top Officials - American Oversight The lawsuit follows our bombshell revelation that the agency stopped preserving text messages in April amid heightened scrutiny over inhumane immigration enforcement.

The Department of Homeland Security told us it can no longer search for text messages — and that it hasn’t maintained text message data since April.

This isn’t just obstruction — it’s unlawful. We’re taking them to court.

Looking forward to reading it. Hope it includes Hala Rharrit’s account of how she was silenced and forbidden from sharing photos of Gaza in her presentations.
