Kashing them in their lies.

A tweet from Liam Nissan says: “You sure about that?” It includes a photo of a lavish bathroom with marble counters and a chandelier, filled with stacks of boxes labeled as documents. Below, a tweet from “FBI Director Kash Patel” reads: “Anyone who threatens our national security will be held accountable,” alongside a screenshot of a news article about John Bolton being indicted for mishandling classified documents.

They get paid to do it so they won't. You know those like mini mobile games for Amazon gift cards if you play them enough. Same same. It's not a huge income but it's to create division and distraction which can be done with few words and a simple script. Their English breaks down post script.

Imagine being guidable enough to see the evidence of this drive into authoritarianism but still believing what russian propaganda tells you. You keep burying your head in the sand, princess. We'll do the work actual Americans are being forced to do.

When you're programmed to live on your knees then you only ever have boots to lick. Republicans have spent 40 years creating this.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

This administration is terrified of its own citizens speaking up! Governor Greg Abbott has once again activated the Texas National Guard ahead of the second No Kings event, specifically targeting Austin, and labeling the rally a “planned Antifa-linked demonstration.”
