For fuck sake, they had her standing at the back of the vehicle quietly but two sick MF's had to tackle her to the ground. I hope I live long enough to watch their trials and see those bastards spend the rest of their lives in prison. The US is on meltdown, no pun intended.

ICE violently detained a Virginia mother driving her daughter to school because she couldn’t recite her Social Security number from memory. “When she stumbled, the agent just lunged at her,” said her 16 yo. She showed her work permit, SS card, license, registration:ICE arrested her anyway.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification?
They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

Rob Bresnahan ran on banning congressional stock trading and has made over 500 trades since January. Promised a blind trust, kept trading after the promise. In other words, just another MAGA hypocrite pretending to drain the swamp while swimming in it. #MAGAScum
He said he'd ban stock trading in Congress. He's made more than 530 trades since taking office.
40 of Bresnahan's trades, worth at least $166,000, were made after May 6, when he announced that he would move his assets into a blind trust.

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey.

This tweet from an Afrikaner is not just antisemitic, it is in line with a white nationalist/neo-Nazi theology/ideology called British Israelism that sees white Anglos as the true "chosen people" & considers today's Jews to be imposters who deserve destruction. The screenshot is from a 1992 article.

In this beautiful and heartbreaking piece, Russian scientist Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard aging researcher, tells of her incarceration since Feb by ICE over a customs form error. This halts critical research and exposes her to worse treatment than she faced in Russia for protesting the Ukraine war.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

President Trump Says Economy “Rising Purple Banana” and Promises “Tornado of Pudding” on Ukraine
If Joe Biden said this kind of word salad on "Meet The Press," I imagine it would be a major story. And this is one of his more coherent responses in an interview transcript that has to be read to be believed. (Link to complete interview in next post.)/1

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual.
Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.
