Like if executing people point-blank in the street wasn’t evidence enough, DHS is abandoning pets when they abduct their victims. Not to mention pets who don’t get fed when their humans don’t come home. It’s an entire agency of puppy killers and it starts at the top.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

The Russian/Israeli nexus is dramatically underreported.
People keep debating whether Epstein is more tied to Russia or Israel without understanding it's the same people: dual Russia/Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. The modern roots of this operation, going back to the 1980s, are detailed in the excerpt from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below.

Imagine the things that Stokely Carmichael would have posted about Dr. King
The successful nonviolence and civil rights movements of the past, as I’ve gathered from reading about them, ALSO featured a shit ton of incessant petty drama and in-fighting.
But crucially, they didn’t have social media - so this was kept far more private.

Q: What does President Trump mean when he says Republicans should 'nationalize voting'?
LEAVITT: What the president was referring to is the SAVE Act, which is a common sense piece of legislation Republicans have supported. It provides common sense measures for voting, such as voter ID
