05.10.2025 21:19 โ ๐ 939 ๐ 309 ๐ฌ 36 ๐ 15Last year they claimed โillegalsโ were voting, without any evidence.
They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.
Now they claim โillegalsโ are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.
So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.
Enough.
The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.
This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Just wondering if there will be a day of mourning for all the school children who have lost their lives in shootings?
Or is that considered acceptable loss of life in the USA these days?

Pentagon reporters can no longer gather or share information unless the government signs off first. And if they get away with it here, nothing is off limits next.
New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important
