A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.
Hey guys working in law enforcement, know who else have guides for identifying patches and other insignia? You do! For identifying gang members! Ergo... Sorry, smaller words... This means you too are gang members. You're in a gang. You are the bad guys. Allllll of you.

So when are the people, orgs and foundations targeted here filing defamation suits for being falsely accused of supporting "terrorism"?

This is how Fox News attempts to Goebbels the Trump/Epstein news: crime & racist headlines up top, then Clinton/Epstein waaaaay below the fold.
And then, a tiny podcast link at the very very bottom, obscured by the much larger "We Don't Deserve Trump."
Exactly. Nobody deserves a pedo president.
The bench plaque, which adapts a real quote from Trump describing Epstein as a βterrific guyβ in 2002 and alludes to rumours around the Presidentβs health, reads: βIn loving memory of Jeffrey Epstein - a terrific guy. See you very, very soon. From Donald.β
Campaign group Everyone Hates Elon have installed a spoof tribute to Jeffrey Epstein from Donald Trump on a bench at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland.
It comes after US lawmakers published an Epstein 'birthday book' with an alleged note from Trump.
The numbers in that story are pretty outdated, here are the latest.

This countryβs fascist dictator needs to dethroned immediately.
His sycophants and enablers need to be put in prison with him.
ICE must be destroyed and its gestapo agents unmasked and jailed.
Israelβs genocide must cease.
Violence is the only language these sociopaths speak - a major concern.

What Republicans are doing in response to the anti-ICE protests is EXACTLY what the Dakota Access pipeline company did in response to the 2016 protests at Standing Rock
Those protests saw FBI infiltration & a $660 million judgment against Greenpeace
Super important to be informed on these tactics
*checks notes* Charles Koch's groups gave $1.6 million to the Alliance Defending Freedom from 2020 - 2023.
ADF is egregiously hateful. Mr. Mild Midwestern Manners is comfy with white christian supremacy.

Along with abandoning DEI initiatives, Walmart has been quietly scaling back its promises to reduce its massive impact on plastic pollution and climate changeβtwo crises that disproportionately harm Black and Brown communities.

+ lobbying for a tax loophole Koch has exploited, relevant to my article:

@tesla-takedown.bsky.social relevant:
Musk/DOGE is basically doing what the Koch bros attempted for decades: abolish most federal agencies, reduce the government to a "night watchman" to protect the property of the rich.

Meanwhile, Chase Koch is dancing on stage with Aloe Blacc on Good Morning America and taking photos with Killer Mike, earning favorable press.
The Koch nonprofits that predominantly focus on real charity (no overlap with their policy/politics) is 4.5% of their total spending.
4.5 / 100 is charity.
What were they spending on?
*Millions to ideological university hubs, feeding into Koch's policy & political work.
*Attacks on labor unions
*Support for climate denier politicians
*Anti-abortion hate groups like the ADF
*Funneling public money from public schools to private charters
#Koch nonprofit money becomes for-profit revenue:
Koch's "Stand Together Communications" was paid $345M in contracts by Koch nonprofits since 2018.
$107M of that was paid in 2023.
Most of these entities share the same office building in Arlington, VA.
