You know guys, it really wasn't my goal or intention to be part of a new hippie generation fighting against a Nixonian superstate hellbent on total surveillance and war...

The EU Council has approved a full ban on Russian gas supplies, Reuters reports. Russian LNG deliveries will be banned from January 1, 2027, and pipeline gas from September 30, 2027. The law was approved in Brussels, with Slovakia and Hungary voting against it. #Ukraine

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a โ€œmassacre.โ€

We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officialsโ€™ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when theyโ€™re murdered, but thatโ€™s what happens when youโ€™re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

To grossly paraphrase the end of Orwell's 1984, why do you insist on believing your lying eyes?

I strongly encourage you to sign up to Mary L. Trump's newsletter; she's actually the Don's niece: a brave, outspoken, compassionate and righteous advocate for justice.

How Much Gold Is Russia Bleeding from Africa to Fund Its War? Russian-backed forces are turning West Africaโ€™s gold mines into killing grounds. They loot, murder, and smuggle gold to bankroll Moscowโ€™s war in Ukraine.

You'll want to read this and see the fascinating map of countries that russia can extract gold from in order to finance its "other" invasion.

Hey Russ, I'm wondering if Fearless isn't a bot etc.

I never know how to sniff them out, but the photo is from someone else, and this account that only posted 4 times over a couple of days for the first time two weeks ago already follows 1.5 THOUSAND people. And that formulaic profile text...

A federal judge in Washington declined on Monday to immediately block the Department of Homeland Security from requiring lawmakers to provide seven daysโ€™ notice before they try to visit and inspect immigration detention facilities.

Without finding that the policy itself was legal, Judge Jia M. Cobb of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia wrote that the group of lawmakers who sued to halt it would need to revise their lawsuit in a way that directly addressed the Trump administrationโ€™s latest rationale.

Judge Cobb had blocked an essentially identical policy by the agency in December, citing a provision of the appropriations law that funds the department and requires facilities to be open to congressional oversight.

If Castro went to that facility right now, he'd be locked outside. Maybe that would make for good TV to mount a pressure campaign ... or not.

But this is being held up by courts that have allowed MAGA to entrap them with technicalities. The institutions are not holding.

Today Dallas County declared Tommy Lee Walker innocent of a 1953 murder for which he was wrongfully executed 70 years ago. Arrested at 19, executed within 3 years. A life stolen. Justice much delayed. Awed by the Walker family's persistence. So proud of this @innocenceproject team.

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.

In a live call to Manoto TV, a woman using the alias โ€œFatemehโ€ claimed her father is a top security official involved in Iranโ€™s protest crackdown. She said commanders are stockpiling dollars and forging passports to flee the country. Through tears, she vowed to testify against her father.
