A disgusting new level of propaganda.

Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn β€” like trophies.

Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele
To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return

"If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Dear [BLANK], Have you seen what Donald Trump is doing? Jeepers, shit is nuts. We need a plan, which is why I have included my photo and this request for $7. With your support, we can form a committee to draft a strongly worded email about oh shit they're in the ceiling oh god the blood

From New Republic piece by Gil Duran: Vance has not advocated for realmsβ€”yetβ€”but some of his most extreme ideas echo Yarvin. They’re both fond of political purges, for instance. In a 2021 podcast interview, Vance was asked how to get liberals out of government institutions. β€œDe-Nazification, De-Baathification,” he replied. β€œI tend to think that we should seize the institutions of the left. And turn them against the left. We need like a de-Baathification program, a de-woke-ification program.”

He predicted Trump would run again and win, then offered some advice: β€œI think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.” He added that Trump should defy any court orders that tried to halt this partisan purge of the civil service.

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology.

It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy.

Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧡

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Excuse me while I vent for a moment

SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

Legal experts warn of 'constitutional crisis' as JD Vance and Elon Musk question judges' authority over Trump Vice President JD Vance wrote Sunday on X, "Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power."

This was the plan all along.

Our forefatherβ€˜s planned for this. That’s why we have three equal branches of government.

The judges have every right – every duty to hold them accountable.

Definitely. The minute America goes back to the pre-WW2 annexation game, China will start bombing Taiwan. I can't express how fucking dangerous this moment is. There are surveys showing that most people in the world believe some other countries' territories belong to them. A Pandora's Box of shit.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID.

Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Rep. Jamie Raskin:

"Elon Musk, you didn't create USAID. The United States Congress did for the American people. And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are!"

Where are all the people who were yelling β€œlock her up” when HRC used a private server for her emails? Why are they not concerned that Musk and his boy toys are currently downloading classified information to their servers?

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

This is an obvious message from a sitting president saying you have his permission to murder another US citizen. There is no other way to see this and it needs to be called out for what it is.

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

The Gaiman piece, the result of months and months of incredible reporting by @lilashapiro.bsky.social, is here. So, publishing, do you finally have anything to say?

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.

In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.

Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
