A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

A white nationalist troll and failed academic apparently having enough of a relationship with at least one NYT reporter to get a story planted with his desired framing (although the facts of the story didn't support it) is one of multiple related stories vastly more important than the story itself

the parent of a trans kid in missouri begged the new york times not to use an audio clip in The Protocol podcast of a verbal confrontation with professional transphobe Jamie Reed out of fear of safety for her kid and NYT management refused her request.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

Wondering why Emily Feiner was dragged out of Mike Lawler’s town hall by NY State Troopers?

She had the *audacity* to ask, “What’s your red line? When will you defend the Constitution you swore to uphold?” One question & she’s accosted.
Free speech?
Not under Lawler.

This all alone is an open-and-shut cause for impeachment, yes there are dozens of others but sometimes it's clarifying to just look at one

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

I’m not saying that the election was stolen. What I am saying is that something was amiss. I want to know why Trump is the first candidate in nearly 250 years to tell his supporters he doesn’t need votes. That simply doesn’t make sense. And why would Elon be “fucked” if Trump lost?

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.

Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.

What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

They want us to memory hole tearing down the American flag to fly Trump’s.
