Good piece by @dennycarter.bsky.social about efforts to make TPUSA halftime, the Melania movie, etc appear popular so that people think America's evenly divided.

Wrote about the Turning Point USA Super Bowl halftime show and the Melania movie as the latest in a larger project to make the American right *seem* far more popular and culturally relevant than it actually is.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.
