Everything the β€œdon’t tread on me” folks claimed to care about is being done by the people they now blindly support

Fun fact: We passed a bill in Montana that makes this kind of attack ad illegal.

HB 513 is a bill that gives individuals the rights to their likeness and allows you to sue anyone who creates digital fabrications of your likeness.

Racists are using β€œA.i.” products created by fascist billionaires to produce racist, fake videos that fascist, billionaire-owned propaganda outlets are spreading.

None of this is accidental.

Border Patrol repeatedly punches this man in the head while he’s on the ground in handcuffs.

Also today, an appeals court ruled a federal judge lacks the power to have Bovino explain his men’s conduct on a daily basis.

Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting.

Lots of new behind-the-scenes reporting in this piece:

Nancy Mace Curses, Berates Confused Cops in Airport Meltdown: Police Report At an airport in South Carolina on Thursday, representative Nancy Mace called police officers β€œfucking incompetent” and berated them repeatedly, according to an incident report.

NEW: Police say Nancy Mace fully melted down at the airport Thurday, calling cops "fucking incompetent," etc. A TSA supervisor said they'd be reporting her to their superiors. @jakelahut.writes.news has the scoop! This is outside our paywall as it's based on public records:

Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed.
Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a
"COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" - But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House
Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!

It should be noted that they don’t have the right to kill these so-called β€œnarco-terror groups”. Each strike is a war crime.

On the eve of his second election β€” on October 31, 1936 β€” FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS.

The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Can you imagine if Republicans ever talked this way about all of the government money funneled to billionaires, "They're just buying a third yacht. They're building bigger bunkers. Yes, that's an actual study."

you'd think, generally speaking, the Republican party working tirelessly, year after year, to actively murder large swaths of marginalized American populations (including white rural veterans) would be a bigger story

Here's an example of how Trump's corruption factory works.

1. Coinbase put $46M into elections to help Trump allies.
2. Sends him a huge check for his inauguration.
3. Trump drops SEC lawsuit against Coinbase.
4. Trump demands big donation from Coinbase for ballroom.

Done.

This is one way incepted bullshit about trans equality is invoked rather than anything real: students can absolutely tell you what a pronoun is, both in grammatical and social usage. It’s out of touch bigots like Emmanuel who either can’t or pretend they can’t to pander to other old bigots.
