When Storytelling Is Called ‘Terrorism’: How My Friend and Fellow Journalist Was Targeted by ICE
As a DACA recipient, Ya'akub Ira Vijandre’s arrest holds drastic implications for the state of free speech in America.
“The government is attempting to lay a foundation for dissenting political beliefs as grounds for terrorism. And people like Ya’akub — non-white [or] non-Christian — have been made its primary examples. Both journalists; like Mario Guevara… and civilians.”

The average taxpayer pays $36 a year to fund SNAP benefits. BUT
The average taxpayer pays $670 a year to fund Corprate Tax Breaks.
I know which I'd rather be paying and which one is grift!

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Appears that the Democrats have flipped Mississippi's #SD02, a Harris+6 seat in the southern Memphis suburbs that was made way more Democratic thanks to court-ordered redistricting

They never even suspected who sponsored the hit.
It certainly explains the over-the-top reaction to anything about Kirk.
Hillbilly Elegy is just 21st-century Deliverance boot camp.

I’m gonna say it again: unidentified drones were seen near military base in Belgium today, for the 4th time in less than a week, the base that has F-16 and is known to possibly store US nuclear weapons,
The fact I don’t see media talking about it more feels chilling.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

If neither funded nor appropriations approved and no funds delegated, there is NO S.N.A.P. program. Stores cannot be held to a non-program, I would presume.
The contract was abrogated by the US Govt failing to deliver promised assistance.

He conveniently leaves out the information that the muskrat controlled the machines and the russki helped—again. We all know he cheated.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.
