ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

If you ask a Mexican person if the food they're eating is spicy, you cannot trust the answer.

You might hear "a little", "it has spice", or the classic: "No, it's not spicy at all."

For years, I thought this was a national inside joke. The truth is much weirder and retrospectively obvious (1/x)

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.
Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid
He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

The trial has begun.

If you are antifascist, you might want to pay attention because this case in Texas is meant to set a legal precedent to characterize you as a “domestic terrorist.”
“Antifa, where are you? Which office are they in or which hole, which bunker, which park? It’s a buzzword used to label people to justify political persecution & violation of their first amendment rights.” - George Lobb, attorney in Maricela Rueda’s state case

⚠️ For the first time, the Trump administration is seeking to convict anti-ICE protesters on charges related to domestic terrorism.

Federal prosecutors have characterized the protest as an “antifa attack.”

The trial for nine of the defendants starts TODAY:
Trump wants to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists. This Texas trial will test his power.
A July 4 shooting at an ICE detention center could change the way the federal government prosecutes activists.
