Know what? Never thought I'd say this, but this makes me want to move to LA.

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.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

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.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

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?

State Department's $500M of YOUR money for the so-called "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" is going straight into Israeli Zionists' pockets. It will not benefit Gazans. On the contrary, it will give Israel further cover to starve them, committing war crimes under guise of "humanitarian aid". SICK.

Huge relief in Germany that #Merz was not bullied in the Oval Office. But one thing offended Germans: Trump's reference to the Ukrainian War as a playground fight between two boys. - Russian military has on avg 1000 casualties PER DAY. - Ukrainian civilians are bombed and die EVERY NIGHT. #Ukraine

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Merz, Germany's new Chancellor: As Russia escalated hybrid war against Ukraine after it gave up the world's 3rd largest nuclear arsenal, Ukraine applied for NATO membership with support of US President Bush in 2008 to prevent a Russian invasion. France's Sarkozy and Germany's Merkel blocked it.

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.

Approximately 20% of the US population is Hispanic. That's 1 in 5 Americans. An underestimate. These are the people, legal or undocumented, targeted by the roving bands of militarized US government thugs, otherwise known as ICE, across the US. They are targeted for their appearance. That's racism.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Attorney General Bondi: * misconduct—smearing in prepared remarks a defendant by editorializing beyond the charges made by a grand jury; * oddly distinguishing “women” from “humans.”

This administration will twist facts...dodge questions...and smear reputations....anything to avoid saying the one honest thing about Kilmar Abrego Garcia: “We were wrong.” The arrogance is staggering...and the damage they’re doing to justice is unforgivable.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

I like how Kash Patel does not say “that’s not true” at any point in regards to Trump in Epstein files.

Cool spotlight on my brother Dave (the one with the beard), who just opened up a music store in Paonia, CO. If you ever find yourself in town, you should stop by and say hi! www.highcountryspotlight.com/signature_st...
