If prior Christian cults are illustrative, then the answer is probably yes.

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

As federal immigration agents bring chaos and violence to Chicago, I’m reminded of Mayor Richard J. Daley’s famous quote: “The police are not here to create disorder, they're here to preserve disorder.”
The feds are here to create disorder.

He's mostly right except for one thing. They do not see the same videos on their phone that he sees because they hide in the Fox News, NewsMax, X, truthSocial, Sinclair, and Oann denial bubble.

That Time headline, regardless of the photo, did not age well. Trump has had no triumph.

“It was half past midnight and eight women had just left the Cook County jail. They hadn’t eaten in hours. They didn’t have their phones, keys, or anything else they had on them when they were arrested; a few didn’t even have sure ways to get home. One, a recent transplant to the city with no close contacts, broke down in tears at the prospect of a night on the streets.”

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?
