DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

"The Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, called it a plan for "a second American Revolution" that would be "bloodless, if the Left allows it to be." There is going to be blood. The only question is whose? I know whose I would prefer.

"There are more people in jail in the UK because they spoke what they thought was right... than there are in Russia." Ex-Trump ambassador Carla Sands claims more people are jailed in the UK for free speech than in Russia. @vicderbyshire.bsky.social questions her sources. #Newsnight

Modern Mankind's most perverse drug is not Pervitin, Fetanyl, Adderall or Ketamin, but the desperate hope that someone *else* will be picking up the pitchfork *for* you. Also, you can *not* expect/demand the military to save you, if you are not in the street telling them where the majority stands.

It’s worth studying the slaughter unleashed by ex Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. He killed up to 30,000 poor people in a futile attempt to wipe out drugs & his main communications vector was Facebook. Watch Nobel laureate @mariaressa.bsky.social explain how it was used to silence opposition.

Orwell meets Catch-22: “Good luck with that they just got rid of the entire privacy team,” an OPM email address responded to CNN’s FOIA request. In addition to the privacy team, members of OPM’s communications staff and employees who handle FOIA requests were also fired.

"It’s right to be disgusted when you see Trump demonizing immigrants and Musk praising the AfD. It’s right to be repulsed by the cruelty of their policies. It’s right to say “no”. It’s reasonable to make saying no to all that the first principle of our politics." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-time-for...

I lived in Berlin in 2020 at Covid's height when AfD stormed through train aisles spitting on the mask-wearers then marched beneath my windows protesting the "cruelty" of having to wear masks to protect others. Vance & Rubio should be banned from the EU forever for defending these Nazis. #HeilMyAss

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

Don’t worry. I’m sure they’re just doing it to troll the @nytimes.com. All coincidences!

They are basking in their performative cruelty and the dehumanization of their victims. It’s like they feed off the energy of the lives they destroy. This is just insanely dangerous and sadistic.

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

All that technology was stolen from Transrapid/Germany. The story once relayed to me by a high-grade/-level tour-operator (CN-origin) is that, inside the Transrapid office in China, the entire *Chinese* workforce got replaced (not sure whether slowly or overnight), without the Germans noticing.
