I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and again and again)

These people are terrorists. Full stop.

I love this interview with Zack.
He’s so in tune with everything that’s wrong and should be prioritised, that also happens not to be a private equity motivated.

this is exactly right. "popularism" in practice amounts to an abdication of political leadership!

The Real Reason Trump Is Skipping the Super Bowl on Sunday Trump claimed the big game is ‘too far away.’ Privately, his advisers warned he’d likely get booed if he went, sources tell Zeteo.

So the “elected” President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

Insane.

ICE is afraid of children protesting “Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

This 2016 exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel is so essential, really gets to the heart of Epstein's project.
Epstein: brexit, just the beginning.
Thiel: Of what?
Epstein: return to tribalism, counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Exodus of Election Officials Surges as Threats Spiral Under Trump It’s the dawn of a new era under MAGA’s Election-Denier-In-Chief.

don lemon, tier one operator

come on, man. body cameras are useless. the atrocities they've perpetrated have been incredibly well documented!

for the love of god, could Ds spend half an hour talking to people who work on policing and civil liberties issues? 1

It’s a Big Herrenvolk and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the Big Herrenvolk.

Again, if a single Democrat ever talked about punishing rural areas like this for ___, it would be a nonstop national scandal for months on end. But Republicans can treat cities & urban residents like this & 🦗🦗

Over here thinking about taxation without representation.

Markwayne Mullin: "I agree with what Lindsey is saying on defunding these sanctuary cities. We should pull our TSA agents out of their airports and not allow their airpot to be classified as international or even a regional hub. We should pull all of our aid."

14 attorneys out is huge, no matter what.

Does anybody know the size of the Minnesota USA's Office, pre-departures?

This judge temporarily preserving TPS for Haitians has no patience for Kristi Noem's nonsense!! DAMN!!!!! 🔥 #Haiti #TPS

🤣 🤣🤣

Chandler is Portland-famous BECAUSE HE LETS PEOPLE USE HIS BATHROOM in his apartment across the street from the Portland ICE facility. He became a local legend bc he's NICE!

He's literally a kind kid, nearby. The total opposite of a thug from ICE/DHS. 🤣

i met this guy on Saturday. he was engaged in the devious business of walking a kid who'd just been maced back to his apartment and washing out their eyes.

🤔You mean the *centrist* Dem responsible for killing good bills had ties to Epstein? Imagine that

This morning local geoduck legend Whidbey Willy emerged from his cozy beachsand burrow and squirted all over his shadow, predicting six more weeks of wet season in the Pacific Northwest.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

PORTLAND MAYOR WILSON:

“.. To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. … you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.”

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Judge says Trump administration must let lawmakers make unannounced visits to ICE detention facilities

Gabbard Arranges Trump Call With FBI Agents After Georgia Election Center Search Tulsi Gabbard’s role in brokering the call and President Trump’s decision to directly press frontline agents on the inquiry are outside the bounds of typical procedure, The Times has learned.

The director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard arranged a call between FBI agents and President Trump where he praised their work searching a Georgia election center. Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as Trump uses the government to support his false claims of widespread voter fraud.
