Billionaires in a "Save California" Signal chat call a 5% wealth tax "Communism," the WSJ reports. "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who lives in the Bay Area and now has a roughly $150 billion nest egg, has said he was fine with the tax." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is torsun.editor@sunmedia.ca in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

DHS has again tweeted literal nazi propaganda. "We Will Have Our Home Again" is a popular slogan used regularly within the white nationalist sphere, based on a song of the same title. In Portland 2022, now-defunct nazi group RCN hung a banner with the phrase. Antifascists repainted it the same day.

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Greg Bovino, who is CBP, not ICE, has been the Where's Waldo of abusive immigration enforcement from the very start.

The republican stance is as it always has been "comply or die."
Not an inch can be given to these people. They will use it for violence. Any democrats who voted in line with them should be rejected.

I'd say this is depressing but most of my Bellingcat investigations were about things that happened in the U.S.
we've reached the 'Bellingcat investigations in your country' part of the authoritarian program
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

This is the headline this morning. "At odds with" is puzzling as the video directly contradicts the government propaganda. And look at the sub-headline which privileges the lie by leading with Noem's claim.
