1/ I’d like to share what’s happened since Sept. 30, the night of the most dramatic raid of the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago. Under the cover of darkness, 37 immigrants were taken from an apartment complex …🧵

Justice Department quietly replaced 'identical' Trump signatures on recent pardons President Donald Trump is facing new scrutiny over the use of a replicated signature on several recent pardons.

Trump's new autopen scandal. Every accusation is a confession.

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.

SOMEONE: Fuck you!

BOVINO: That’s not very nice.

THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?

TW: video showcasing a violent display of force by federal agents

From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

I got a tip a few months ago that ICE was planning to use tribal airports for ICE flights. I spent a few hours scouring flight data, found no evidence of this, and let it go.

But perhaps they all just said no? If anyone has more info, hmu on signal at gbrockell.44!

"The most appalling thing was: These guys still had the audacity to smile and wave the camera after….. coming and dragging a boy out, pinning him against the increte," he said. "Just smiling at the camera as they drive off. Very, very disgusting series of events."

From the manager of the Super G store, where smiling and waving agents grabbed a boy, 15. (Looks like Bovino was on the scene)

‘Why just me?’ Charlotte man says Border Patrol broke pickup window, stole keys “Are you an illegal immigrant?” the man said an officer asked. He replied that he didn’t have to answer and asked why he was singled out.

6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

that's right, fraud is when you take money for something you don't do

Facebook memory. On this day 3 years ago Stella Sacco Nov 15, 2022 I am happy beyond words to say that Riot has told me the job is mine. 289 comments 2 shares

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

I probably sound like a broken record, but I cannot wait for this AI bubble to burst, I want to see the architects of this tech to be taken for every penny by those whose artwork they stole for training data, and I want those tools to cease function and be confined to the same memory hole as NFTs.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops.

Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

fun fact you can 'control' most types of diabetes you just die without insulin. this is murder.

Yeah man, it’s a bad, bad look to (allegedly) be texting freaking Jeffrey Epstein in any way shape or form, especially in 2019, especially as the rep for the Virgin Islands — where he reportedly committed sex crimes for nearly 2 decades.

If you can get past all the cop quotes, there is a lot of important detail in here on the timeline of the last few months and how much violence the feds have inflicted on people. Infuriating and despair-inducing.

ICYMI, @govpritzker.illinois.gov in October claimed state, county and local police at Broadview were working "to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights."

In the month since those same police have arrested about 80 protestors at Broadview.

Hey Donald, back when you were running part of a huge sex trafficking operation and raping some of the trafficked girls, you were a Democrat too.

One of my biggest takeaways from today's Epstein file dive (so far) is that every single thing we suspected about Trump is true, and Epstein is at the heart of all of it.

It sure would be nice if DOJ gave a tenth as much of a shit when it comes to compensating them.
