see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office.
The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever โ€” who are detained solely for immigration reasons โ€” has shot up **25.5x**

Elon Musk is pushing a Russian talking point about the dissolution of the European Union on X.

(The man agreeing with him is a former president of Russia and current deputy chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.)

yeah the key to understanding all of this is they genuinely believe their own shit that Dems import voters as immigrants and by killing immigration, the democratic base is non-existent

little to no attention on their side about actual demographic politics

The thing Democrats are consistently afraid of, I think, is that they will oppose a war and then the USA will win an easy decisive victory and anyone who opposed the war will look like unpatriotic losers afterwards. Except the only time this ever happened was 1991 and the GOP got btfo in 1992 anyway

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

Theyโ€™ve had their necks kneeled on.

Theyโ€™ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Today, we had the honor of presenting Samantha with a Citation of Recognition from the Oklahoma House of Representatives, District 98, for her steadfast convictions, her commitment to speaking from a foundation of truth, and her courage in shining a light on serious concerns within Oklahoma's higher education system.
In a moment when social media and traditional media are flooded with misinformation, this story has drifted far from what actually occurred. Today, we were able to hear directly from Samantha herself, and she walked us through the real events in her own words.
With all the political noise and media distractions set aside, the truth was finally able to stand on its own.

Even though Trump is trying to bury it, real people feel whatโ€™s coming. Weโ€™re either already in a recession or staring straight at one.

Itโ€™s true. We shouldnโ€™t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against Americaโ€™s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.

this clip encapsulates so much of what has been wrong about MSM Trump coverage for the past decade -- treating Trump's lies and bigotry as a valid "side" of a debate instead of calling it out, because calling it out makes it seem as though you're biased
