"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care?
There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable
"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.
But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.
That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

An American citizen from Albuquerque NM was detained by ICE in Tucson Arizona for 10 days for not having his immigration papers.
Which, as an American citizen born in the United States, he would never be carrying.

24 years ago, in the days after 9/11 I remember leftists screaming that any civil liberty we gave up for anyone “because terrorism” would be used broadly against the left in years to come.
At the time it felt hyperbolic.
Today, it feels prescient. Terrorist just seems to be “POC I disagree with”
