So the โ€œelectedโ€ President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

A reminder that Bezos has zero financial need to layoff these journalists, and is only doing so because he wants to destroy the 4th Estate.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. Itโ€™s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Why a Scared 5-Year-Old Boy Shook Our National Conscience What the image of Liam Ramos, grabbed in Minnesota and thrown in detention in Texas, means for our democracy.

"On the day he was photographed, Liam had been used by faceless, nameless DHS agents to capture his father at his preschool pickup; he was also being used as bait to see if the agents could ambush other members of the family." ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4c7BlVM

It has now emerged that data from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is being fedโ€”along with other commercial and public datasetsโ€”into an analytics app developed by Palantir, according to an investigation by news outlet 404 Media.

โ€œThey want to go about their lives and to enjoy life without being recognized as kidnappers and abusers in their community,โ€ Riley said. โ€œWe identify ICE and DHS agents for the same reasons we identify any violent, dangerous people intent on doing harm. They have chosen to prey on the community.โ€

Maybe CISA should take its own advice about insider threats hmmm? The call is coming from inside the house opinionย  Maybe everything is all about timing, like the time (this week) America's lead cyber-defense agency sounded the alarm on insider threats after it came to light that its senior official uploaded sensitive documents to ChatGPT.โ€ฆ

It is! Ever since Brexit and getting hacked the day of when I found an earlier version of Plan 2025 was a wake up call.

Yet we are still growing dependency. When they can use this tech against us. Easily.

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

Heโ€™s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

It's not that uncommon. They can use it to justify their "othering" why also being pushing the narrative of the 'white hero' that protects women. Hot women, of course. So grateful they have sex with them.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like.
Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is
"well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it.
This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order.
And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.
"Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckinโ€ฆ

Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
