You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

AI is the aesthetic of 21st century fascism because 21st century fascism is about being a consumer of your reality of choice. Thinking for yourself, writing for yourself, making art for yourself - those are all things people who live in a shared reality do.

The Trump Administrationโ€™s Favorite Tool for Criminalizing Dissent Federal prosecutors have charged more than 100 people with Section 111 violations. Was their crime anything more than opposing Trumpโ€™s immigration policies?

Important piece on the use and misuse of section 111, 18USC. TL:DR- ICE and DoJ now lie a lot.

A tweet from โ€œAdam Mockler @adammocklerโ€ reads:
โ€œStephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an โ€˜open act of insurrection.โ€™ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.โ€

Mockler: Nick Fuentes is trying to make moves to gain leverage over the Republican party. There is a very real chance that he capitalizes on this in such a way that Marjorie is then in his camp. I don't think that would be good for the Maga establishment.

I get that MTGโ€™s pension vests Jan 3, 2026. But that pension pales in comparison to the money she could grift by staying in her job until her term is up. I canโ€™t figure out why sheโ€™s leaving a year early. Sheโ€™s worth $25M. The pension is peanuts.

โ€œThere is no insurrection or sedition without the use of force. Disobeying a lawful order is insubordination, not insurrection or sedition. Disobeying an unlawful order is required. That is all.โ€ - Fox News Channel legal analyst Andy McCarthy

To all the Republican members of the Govt who remain silent as Trump incites violence against his political adversaries I remind you that it wasnโ€™t so long ago when Charlie Kirk was shot that you were saying there is no place for political violence.

Did you mean it or just ideologically convenient?

In addition to a cozy relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Summers held harmful sexist and racist views.
