Folks - in this age of disinfo, if you're going to do "satire" or double-fakes, don't bury the "see, it's not real!" deep in the alt

Or if you do, don't cry like a baby when someone id's it as fake & accuse them of "not being able to take a joke"🙄esp when you liked others' reposting it as real😒

Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

Pundits are finally naming Miller & Vought as the architects of all the damage which is unfolding with strategic precision and blame it all on Project 2025. What I don’t get is why they stop there? Why don’t they name the people who funded the project that’s destroying the country? Are they afraid?

ICE's escalating violence and use of excessive force are wreaking havoc and making cities less safe.

Armed, masked federal agents shouldn't be menacing our communities.

Tackles, projectiles and gunfire: Many fear ICE tactics are growing more violent

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.
