Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/
NEW FOLLOWERS: if I see you using these or any other follow-back hashtags, you’re getting immediately blocked. This is how disinformation networks happen.

Exactly. "Gunning down poll workers at 10,000 locations still won't be widespread enough to change enough outcomes to change control of Congress"
As someone pointed out earlier, Ilhan Omar wins whether she beats her opponent by 0.5% or 5% or 55%

Okay, what are they going to do?
Are they going to gun down the poll workers at 10,000 polling places?
Is that what you think they'll be pulling off?
Because that *might not be widespread enough to contest enough elections to change control of Congress*.
The scale is just astronomical here.

This is in fact the proper use of the bagpipes
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Grandpa born to Canadian parents in the US in 1940” gets automatic citizenship under this bill, as of 2026, which makes HIM eligible as an ancestor for all of his descendants.
I’m assuming this is probably addressed directly somewhere, but it kind of rips.

Ok but as this is written, you don’t even need a grandparent with existing Canadian citizenship, because if your grandpa gets citizenship HIMSELF under this bill, then you get it by knock-on.

this is injurious to moral, social, and all human life
I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

You don't fight this hard to hide nothing
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

Every single person that was involved in any way with what was done to this child - including the talking heads that lied about what was done and how he was used - should be burned at the stake.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
