Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Ugh. Who the hell signed off on this warrant? Every single judge to hear the issue concluded that there was no basis to believe there was election fraud. Now suddenly one says there is enough to sustain a warrant?
The FBI executed a search warrant on Wednesday at an election office near Atlanta in Fulton County, Georgia, a locale infamous among MAGA conspiracy theorists’ who fulminated about the 2020 election and beyond.

Holy shit
HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.

After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

"Attached to this order is an
appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. The extent of ICE’s noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated. This list is confined to orders issued since January 1, 2026.—
"ICE is not a law unto itself," Judge Schiltz says, scolding it for violating 96 court orders. "ICE has every right to challenge the orders of this Court, but, like any litigant, ICE must follow those orders unless and until they are overturned or vacated." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know I'm super cynical, but every so often I see news that a Rep was recently convicted of child p*rn or election fraud or something that they keep accusing Dems of doing, and I find that I'm surprised and impressed that these prosecutions are still happening given the current autocratic climate

Literally no matter what food you search for in your area, the first hit is a "list" on Yelp of the "top 10" places in the area for that food... except that most of the times, the named places don't actually have the food you're looking for

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

The "pink coat lady" who saw and captured on video Pretti being m*rd*red
This is testimony…

📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti.

“After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

Homeland Security officers have fired shots during enforcement arrests or at people protesting their operations 16 times since July.

In each case, the Trump administration has declared their actions justified before investigations are completed.
In 16 shooting incidents since July, no DHS officers have faced charges
The Trump administration’s rush to defend the officers and accuse the victims of attacking them has sparked widespread outrage and demands for accountability.

If you are a federal agent for the Trump regime you can shoot and kill someone while wearing a mask and you will never be prosecuted, fired or disciplined and nobody will be allowed to know your name. You are free to carry on like nothing happened. That’s Trump’s America.

I usually don't like working from home bc my place isn't very well set up for that. But the sidewalk isn't shoveled yet so I gave up and am at home

I just did a Zoom meeting Winnie-the-Pooh style for the first time and I felt so subversive.

The irony in militaristic terms is that the bovino maga set are buying themselves into a classic counter insurgency trap (everyone who lives in the place you're occupying and laying siege to hates you and will give aid without question to anyone who looks likely to have a chance at fucking you up).
these guys are LARPing like siege commanders talking about "supply lines"

rightoids literally cannot comprehend the idea of a community caring for their own; these people live in Minneapolis their supply line is a five minute drive to the grocery store

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

I knew MN DOC had debunking Greg Bovino's false claims abt the target of the snatch CBP was doing when they murdered Alex Pretti. I didn't realize they created an entire website to debunking DHS lies.

I constantly remind myself of what a Hitler scholar identified as the biggest similarity between Hitler and Trump: Going from one defeat, from one catastrophe, to another and declaring them all victories.
In case you're wondering what a Hitler scholar thinks Trump had most in common with Hitler.

Twenty years from now, if this country is still around and we still accurately teach history in schools, kids will face the philosophical question "if you could travel back in time to k*ll DJT, would you? Noem?"

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
