Yesterday, in a Zoom chat among election denial figures that streams on a right-wing podcast, election denier Marly Hornik claimed that her organization's new lawsuit against New York over alleged voter roll inaccuracies would "secure the House majority for America First candidates in 2026."

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos.

A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.
Minnesota cop who fabricated a sex-trafficking ring won't be held accountable
The officer made up information and lied multiple times under oath but the government says she has federal immunity.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

dear white americans.... you're so fucked too.
This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

I was talking to a high school teacher this week who was like “do you know how ridiculous it is—for everybody—that I have to walk 17-year-olds to the bus?”
a video of the young man's arrest shows him backing up, following commands, while having a weapon drawn on him. He's then surrounded, thrown to the ground, jumped on, and detained. shared with permission.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

Okay, so Platner's explanation of this is reasonable. Tattoo parlor in Croatia, buncha drunk Marines, stupid decision. This is bolstered by the fact that Platner's campaign HANDED this video to the podcast. Unusual for cryptofash, who usually respond by sweeping under the rug or dropping out.
