Weird how an extremely corrupt administration says all of the programs that help working class people are corrupt

Deplatforming Nick Fuentes was what kept him from being mainstreamed, it worked. Elon's replatforming of all of these people and allowing actual Nazis around is why the US government is now publishing white supremacist propaganda regularly.

This is not a new debate. Deplatforming works.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Grokipedia entry that reads:

Key contributions include $100 million pledged in 2021 to fund the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition, aimed at developing gigaton-scale carbon dioxide removal technologies, with awards distributed to winners in 2025.[254] [255] The foundation donated $55 million to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 2021 as part of a SpaceX-linked fundraiser, along with smaller grants such as $54 million to environmental and educational initiatives in 2022.[256] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Musk and Tesla donated over 1,000 ventilators and medical supplies to hospitals in the United States and internationally.[257] However, tax filings reveal limited payouts relative to assets: in 2022, the foundation disbursed $160 million amid $5.5 billion in holdings, and in 2023, it granted $237 million against $9.5 billion in assets, falling $421 million short of the IRS-mandated minimum distribution, with much of the spending benefiting Musk-affiliated projects like his children's schools.[258] [259]

Wikipedia entry that reads:

Musk has promoted conspiracy theories and made controversial statements that have led to accusations of racism, sexism, antisemitism,[352][353] transphobia,[354] disseminating disinformation, and support of white pride.[355][356] While describing himself as a "pro-Semite",[357] his comments regarding George Soros and Jewish communities have been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League and the White House.[358] Musk was criticized during the COVID-19 pandemic for making unfounded epidemiological claims,[359] defying COVID-19 lockdowns restrictions,[360] and supporting the Canada convoy protest against vaccine mandates.[361][362] He has amplified false claims of white genocide in South Africa.[363]

With the launch of xAI's Grokipedia, it's fascinating comparing Elon Musk's Wikipedia entry with his Grokipedia entry.

On COVID, Grokipedia (left) only mentions his donations. On Wiki, it mentions his misinformation and defying of lockdowns.

It's not just that the NYT chose to ignore the massive protests -- 300,000 in their city alone! -- but that the piece they *did* run on the front page about Democrats is almost cartoonishly bad in how much it whines that they're just not doing what A.G. Sulzberger LXVII wants them to do.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: β€œIf the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

β€œMy world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

She Pushed to Overturn Trump’s Loss in the 2020 Election. Now She’ll Help Oversee U.S. Election Security. Heather Honey has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security. State election officials and voting experts are concerned.

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security.

β€œDHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

It's clear that rightwing agitators are flocking to Portland to distort what's happening, pick fights, and create incidents so the Trump Administration can escalate their punitive plans.

As this piece by the Star Tribune lays bare, those plans include turning the US military against Americans.
