LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump takes over the Kennedy Center, illegally slaps his name on it, and uses the venue to premiere a film about his wife—a film, directed by an accused rapist, that is a gift from the founder of Amazon, who wants to avoid regulation and is firing a fuckton of reporters.

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

I've been screaming it from the rooftops for years at the cost of my career and nearly my sanity. YES, they are eugenicists. YES, they are death merchants.They believe the planet is overpopulated and that the "herd" needs "thinning." This is the Tanton-Heritage network, and now they are in power.
i am convinced that these people are death worshippers who want to spread as much disease and sickness as possible (i also think this is all tied up in eugenic beliefs about the “survival of the fittest” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding:

Baby shampoo mixed with water recommended as optimal treatment for pepper spray by an ophthalmologist, which speaking as a maker of soap & “personal care products” makes total sense. Milk products not recommended primarily due to risk of infection. Plain water is fine & much better than nothing!
The guy who makes funny doctor videos (who actually is an ophthalmologist) just made a couple on pepper spray generally and with contacts. We live in weird times.

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.

This looks bad, right? But here is the thing... ITS WORSE

This survey only reached a narrow selection of respondents. Notably cut anybody who has been unemployed for too long. Mostly just ppl who can afford to attend GDC. Many laid off before 2025 are still looking!

Your solution is take their masks off and make them follow a code of conduct. You’re a complicit monster and every person who is tortured and murdered, whether in the streets or in camps, is blood on YOUR hands.
The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow.

Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.

Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

i think demanding schumer resign is a good ass thing to call your reps about
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

Look, Bovino's firing isnt a sea change. It's because he admitted to smuggling a fucking murder suspect out the state and told local law enforcement they wouldn't ever find him. Like. It doesn't get more America's Dumbest Criminals than that shit, man.

The fact that they are making Bovino the fall guy shows that they are worried, but it does not mean that any policy changes.

It's a signal to increase the pressure even more, not back down.

there's apparently reports that we're gonna send ICE with the Olympians to 'keep them safe'??

1) that's a way to guarantee they are NOT safe.

2) IF ICE goes, I genuinely hope the bulk of the athletes walk out, sit down their gear, kneel, & do nothing else. Do not get medals for the US.

This is what hospitals do. They don't fight for you.

We saw this locally when ICE detained a pediatric hospital chaplain, Ayman Solimon. Not only did they not publicly comment on his detention, they fired those who protested and were interviewed.
Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world
