Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.

Leak: Russia's Black Sea Fleet currently does not have a single combat-capable submarine. Kilo-class B-271 Kolpino has been sent for repairs prior to inspection. All other submarines are either permanently docked in inoperable condition or can only be used for training.

ICE is putting the immigrants it sweeps up mainly into privately owned prisons. All of those prisons, and the communities where they are located, now have a direct financial incentive in maintaining fascist immigration policy. Awesome dynamic, nothing could possibly go wrong.

Is there ANY connection between #ProV&V and Mesa County Colorado's voting machines? Now or when Tina Peters was in charge? Who's looking into this?

Pro V&V tampering with voting machines for the 2024 presidential election is the story of the century (so far) - for whoever wants to report it... Harris won.

🇭🇺‼️ Why did the Hungarians need information about where we deployed the S-300 air defense system? They even had a list of 11 questions, including what the residents of Transcarpathia would say about the presence of Hungarian peacekeepers, — Zelensky.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

With the news from Los Angeles that David Huerta was charged with conspiracy and that the President and his Administration have authorized the National Guard to quell "riots" and "insurrection," I thought I might offer a historical parallel in case it's instructive.

Stephen Miller has had a pathological hatred of Hispanics since his teens. He's calling the shots now and won't stop. This is far beyond Goebbels. An entire government is infected with one man's venom. This is his Armageddon & where it all started for him. It's just beginning. It will end badly.

"Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again." Last night @jvl.bsky.social and I got together to try to soberly examine the current situation, and to analyze how Trump is exploiting it to fundamentally carry out his authoritarian ambitions. youtu.be/8skWRsHrHsE?...

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

We’re now seeing the price of the decision by many journalists, election analysts, pollsters, and others who chose to normalize Donald Trump and MAGA to avoid looking biased.

As you see Trump defending his decision to deploy the National Guard into LA and potentially elsewhere, just remember that he did *not* order the DC Nat Guard to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6. I debunked that lie, told by some of his prominent surrogates, here: www.justsecurity.org/93316/anatom...

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

The same autocrat sat on his fat ass for hours watching armed thugs storm the US Capitol and brutally attack police officers while trying to stop an ELECTION - and did nothing. In fact, he later PARDONED the convicted criminals. Americans ELECTED him - TWICE. What does that say about Americans?
