Qanon was never about taking down actual pedophiles and pursuing justice for victims. It was about smearing any and all prominent liberal figures while protecting and empowering actual pedophiles. Qanon was a movement of pedophiles, protecting pedophiles.

We're getting deep into the "arresting journalists" phase of fascist takeover
Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Employees at the Minneapolis VA hospital were initially told they could not hold a memorial for Pretti, though that decision was later reversed.

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes.

Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.
NEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.

What the observers are doing is a form of civil disobedience, except they're not breaking any laws -- maybe it's "civil obedience." The harassment they're facing is illegal and makes it increasingly clear to millions of people that the regime is wrong.
ICE reportedly has a tool where they circle a geography and get the names of all the cell phone users within it. The key to defeating this technology is not "smashing your cell phone with a hammer" but "recognizing that having a list of 30 people who are recording you in public is not very useful"
Everyone following ICE caravans can assume their identities are known to ICE. ICE routinely leads them to their own houses to make this point. They take pictures of them in the streets and put them in their db. They're recording with cell phones that can be easily tracked.

This is right.

You cannot write a constitution that will protect you if everyone it gives power to is a coward.
The United States is not actually in a constitutional crisis. Our Constitution works just fine.

We are in a crisis of character — where nearly every single person who has sworn an oath to uphold our Constitution and enforce the law lacks the courage, moral fiber, and decency to do what is right.
the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

This survey is conducted every year, so you can see how much worse things have gotten under Trump too. A sampling below; again, morale tanked even before the recent killings of protesters:

Again, real press will absolutely respect rules and boundaries, and I always establish that the only observer who can be identified in any way is myself. But all-consuming paranoia about cameras and press is awful for us. ICE is the one operating in secret. We’re the ones bringing daylight.

Last year, we raised nearly 100k for Ukraine, and we're thinking of mobilizing #DELTAGREEN to raise money again for #Minnesota.

THOSE ON THE GROUND THERE, what is the best and most effective charitable donation we can make to benefit everyone under Trump's fascism in Minnesota?

Imagine. A nation actually treating bribes as bribes and punishing the perpetrators in accordance with the law.
The former president of South Korea’s wife, Kim Keon Hee, was sentenced Wednesday to one year and eight months in prison for accepting a Chanel handbag, tea and a diamond necklace from an influential church, in what the court found amounted to bribery.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.

But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.
This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

Pretty sure he’s trying to hide the scar he got trying to steal a medallion off a woman in a bar fire in Nepal in the 1930s.

Lots of good points in here about pushing when you have the advantage, but also this key point, which essentially boils down to “You want our votes. You solve it.”

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
