I spent over 8 hours editing the next video I’m going to post for the LA ICE raids lawsuit story and I’m fully prepared for it to get 12 likes and maybe a couple hundred views (half from my burner acct)

I’m hoping to write an analysis on the paramount Warner Bros takeover and am looking for WGA veterans, producers, and other executives. If you fit this or can help connect me, I’d be extremely grateful. Happy to grant anonymity if they’re close in proximity to the companies.

Do I have any locals from Bastrop, Texas, on here? Curious about this proposition to rename a road after Charlie Kirk and it's relation to how heavily influenced the town is by Elon Musk over recent years.

I spoke with Venezuelan men who were imprisoned in CECOT about whether or not they will make the journey back to the US after Judge Boasberg ordered that they receive due process. Here are their responses.

But overall, Venezuelans across the Americas have one shared sentiment of hope. Hope for change, and hope to return home one day.

This trust, and hope, that Trump will follow through with pushing out the Chavista administration emanates across the Venezuelans I’ve spoken with over the past two weeks

However, the US president stated earlier he has no plan to push for a regime change.

β€œI simply fight for the freedom of my country, and if President Trump is one of those people who helps our country emerge from this misfortune that has lasted more than 26 years, then he has all my recognition and all my gratitude,” Cancines told us.

Cancines spoke out against the Chavista admin and was later targeted. He was shot at, chased. Cancines then made the journey to the US alongside his wife. Since the capture of Maduro, he has posted a handful of pro Trump content. When I asked, he explained one important distinction.

I spoke with Carlos Cancines, a 31YO Venezuelan military veteran who served under Maduro. After seeing the suffering and persecution of fellow country men, Cancines left his military career. He and his wife traveled across the border to Colombia, where he opened a restaurant.

Trump has labeled himself sitting president of Venezuela. However, his control over the country is much rockier than he'd like to admit.

In this story, I speak with connections to Venezuela's opposition and break down some of the reasons why this plan to control Venezuela doesn't look so great.

Thank you for your input! I am a reporter, writing the news and interviewing people. It’s not my job to enable, to resist, to do anything other than write/report. In a time when trust in journalists is low, I’ll choose accuracy. And, unfortunately, for now it’s still the T-K center, lawsuit pending

β€˜I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

I’ve been worried about group chats leaking before but it’s usually just because I spent too long complaining about my ex or someone did enough internet sleuthing to find their crush’s Instagram.

This is… appalling.
