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.

Does #ProV&V have ANY connection, however slight, to Poland? This is a serious question, NOT a joke!

Who is Jack Cobb?? Does he have a connection to Musk or other MAGA operators? Has he come into a lot of money recently? #ProV&V Who's going to find out?

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.

I've been waiting for this article for seven months!! Because it never made sense. But my money was on Starlink as the vehicle.

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?

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

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.
