08.01.2026 20:44 โ ๐ 80 ๐ 23 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"
Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "Iโm America First, I donโt support โRegime Changeโ. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA ๐บ๐ธ"
Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasnโt ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."
Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"
amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

fact: with an infection, it may take testing over several days for your viral load to increase enough to finally give you a positive result from home RATs.
also, about half of infections are asymptomatic (though that doesnโt mean they donโt still damage us)
You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

No matter how much you love it, every snowman melts.
Watching this when I was 5 was my first understanding of mortality. 40 years later, I'm still sitting by the melted snow wondering why.
That movie is so scary. Not even the stuff in the cave just the caving itself.

Wearing an n95 is an act of hope, solidarity, & resistance. Give/get mutual aid:
BLUF: Press is talking about "Super Flu" bc this year's dominant strain isn't a great match to the vaccine. Get vax'd anyway (consider the high-dose vax), wear a mask (protects against airborne pathogens), and have a testing + treatment strategy ahead of time because viral replication is exponential

- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.
Damn that's super cool! Congrats!

This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.
