Oh look— it seems there really are paid protestors. @RepTimBurchett & Sexton were right along, we apologize!

Rep. @reprashida.govpeeps.us : “A whistle and a cell phone — that’s all our residents are using to protect themselves in the streets… they’re making money off our babies being imprisoned.”

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.

Rep. Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

Ring also has partnerships (or pending) with two of the biggest police surveillance companies that are growing apps that merges dozens of data streams, Flock and Axon—how will search party show up in that partnership? Maybe not at all but it’s always a fluid and secretive situation!

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail.

This is true of ~90% of self-professed libertarians in NH, and a much higher percentage of those involved in politics. They are crypto-fascist racist misogynist Mises-caucus ancaps and redneck Epsteins who believe that after the boogaloo they will end up sitting atop the pile of skulls, not in it.

What's crazy about that is the racism is clearly the animating force of his movement. It is not ancillary, or a distraction. It is the basis of it. It is like saying antisemitism is a distraction to Nazi tax plans.

Reason Mag Writer: I Was Dumped for Being Too Anti-Trump The leading libertarian outlet has been a vocal critic of “cancel culture.” And now it has its own cancel culture problem, says one newly ousted writer.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Thanks to ProPublica for citing my prior @texasobserver.org report in their story about how an "election fraud" researcher who is a convicted bathroom voyeur may be fueling the federal government's investigations

Lost many Friends NOT knowing they supported Trump until we sat down in conversations, their Dark Side surfaced with in-your-face responses, Racism, Fascism ignited who they really are, being Open-minded, tried to make sense of their thought process, it was easy, HATE, VILE, and Don't give a Fxxk.

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.

She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.

She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

Omg this transformation 🥹

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

This makes me feel nauseous

This is like something out of a horror movie, my god

So, if I understand the theory here, not only did the United States Department of Justice plan Epstein’s murder in advance, but the paralegal who drafts and formats press releases was in on it, to make sure they were ready in advance to make a prompt press release.

Howard Lutnick went to Jeffrey Epstein's island 5 days before Lutnick and Epstein went into business together.

12/23/2012 — Lutnick goes to Epstein's island.

12/28/2012 — Lutnick and Epstein sign a stock purchase agreement.

But Walz can deal with the state police. Where is he?

#ACAB

Then, why are we seeing State police violently attacking protesters?

Negatives I never thought about and now wonder why the hell not, because, of course. There’s always more. ⬇️

“.. This is a 37 point shift left.”

Considering that the unredacted files were supposed to be made public, this arrangement is totally unacceptable.

Russians are trying to rewrite history on Wikipedia. Because it's the #1 source of training data for AI systems, it can also be used to "poison" platforms like ChatGPT and Claude AI.

2017 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling Michael Wolff that dinner guests were “concerned about dementia” after being with Donald Trump.

Dear Dems, the people want you to run on abolishing ICE, not appeasing fascists.
