Dots connected.

Patrick "I dated a Russian Spy Overstock Guy" Byrne has been out telling crowds that at Michael Flynn's request, he and a team "hacked" Venezuela's election last year to figure out how "they rigged" the 2020 election.

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.
“.. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard speaks on the phone while standing inside a vehicle loaded with boxes outside the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center after the FBI executed a search warrant there.”

Personally I‘m waiting for the inevitable “journalist goes on bad thing safari” piece, because I enjoy simple pleasures and am fan of the genre.
Melania hasn't sold a single ticket at all in Boston. This movie was an obvious bribe by Bezos and Amazon.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

We in movement get super irritated with each other, we have grudges that span decades, but at the end of the day we say "oh great this fucking guy again" and then have his back anyway.

We are not perfect, but at the end of the day we are there to help, not to cause harm.

In videos posted on social media, one employee can be heard saying: “This is the Ecuadorian consulate. You’re not allowed to enter.” The agent responds, “If you touch me, I’ll grab you.”

noticed a trend this week where both the right and some liberals have been like "just realized the left actually means what they say about stuff"
James O’Keefe responds to a comment

“Figured they (ICE protesters) were being paid…”

O’Keefe:

“No, it's more terrifying than that. It's not transactional.

They actually believe in their cause.

That truth is going to be hard for most people to understand or accept.”

Breaking MS NOW:

Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.
No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW
As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

LRADs project sound in a straight line ahead of them that can be heard from hundreds of meters away. The sonic beam is super narrow though. If you get caught in one, cover your ears and immediately move SIDEWAYS. Stepping directly to the side will leave you unaffected.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."

In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

this morning in the Mpls suburbs: "There were 5 Ice vehicles staged around this neighborhood and the elementary school, they seem to be watching to bus stops during school kid pick up and drop off. I believe they are trying spook kids/parents so vulnerable parents would expose themselves"
