It’s stupidly absurd watching people scream “How can Trump embrace Putin like that don’t you know the ICC calls him a war criminal?” And then turn around and embrace Netanyahu, who the ICC calls a war criminal.😐
Those of us committed to actual justice reject both war criminals—as justice mandates.

They are redefining "doxxing" just like they redefined "porn" to legitimize banning protected free speech they don't like.
A CT state rep posted a story about reports of ICE activity in his district and asked neighbors to "look out for another" and contact advocacy groups.
Libs of TikTok posted it, calling for him to be charged and tagging ICE & DHS.
ICE shared it, tagging the Justice Dept.
This is protected speech.

Jeffries is going to need Mamdani more than Mamdani currently needs Jeffries. lol
Zohran Mamdani won his Democratic primary. His opponents are now a sexual predator, a corrupt sitting mayor, and a GOP yes-man. Under those circumstances, it's shameful that Jeffries still hasn't endorsed Mamdani. Support our Democratic candidate. He's the obvious choice.

Jeffries is an establishment Democrat. He will always work for the establishment. He is not a disrupter or innovator or individual thinker. Within that framework, his gutless behavior toward Mamdani or any progressive candidate makes a lot of sense.

Just to say this plainly: what you're looking at here is a federal police force accountable only to the president rolling up to intimidate the governor of California as he announces his plan to counter a federal legislative coup out of Texas which will ensure their permanent presence in our streets
Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference.

ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices.
It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season.

The new US State Department human rights report cites Germany as a human rights violator for banning Nazi speech on social media.
The same Germany where Nazis exterminated 6 million Jews.
And some wonder why some of us Jews call bullshit when Trump justifies his fascism as “fighting antisemitism.”

This … is not new. And the mainstream media in those cities has often been a key part of that “conditioning.”
Americans are being conditioned to think of crime as an urban issue. Ask why.
Alabama's murder rate is far higher than New York City's.
Urban crime is not worse than rural crime. It's just more visible. In cities everything is more visible.
So be careful what you blame city leaders for.

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?
Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.
