Trump does not need you to believe that Renee Nicole Good rammed an ICE agent with her car and sent him to the hospital

What they want you to believe—what they NEED you to believe—is that if you don’t behave the way they want you to behave, they will fucking kill you

This is why detention centers are denying our Congressional members of Congress access. So that they can hide crimes.

Absolutely makes me sick.
Courvelle pleaded guilty last month to sexually abusing a Nicaraguan detainee at South Louisiana ICE Processing Center

The abuse took place over several months inside the detention center, including in a janitorial closet.

He arranged for other detainees to act as lookouts

Senator Susan Collins killed the amendment to protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) -- perhaps the world's premier research center for work on #weather, #climate, models, and remote sensing. Remember that.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

I didn’t even think of this but what Minneapolis is doing right now is literally modern minute men. And it’s true to the name: if anything happens, responders are on their way in well under a minute.
Boston was occupied by British troops in the summer of 1774. by September the inhabitants of Massachusetts had a system that could mobilize several thousand men in under 24 hours. by spring of 1775 that number was over ten thousand. this was with no comms except verbal and hand-delivered written

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.

The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents.

They are hiding something.
