🚨 Just in case you weren't paying attention: Within the last five years, there has been a quiet rollout of over 80 multi-million dollar Cop City-like facilities across the country. Let that sink in and interrogate why the state always prioritizes law enforcement over our own well-being.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

How insane is our government?

Our children get murdered by lunatics with easy access to guns, and we don’t regulate the supply of guns.

Citizens die of drug overdoses and we break international laws and threaten to go to war against South American countries to regulate the supply of drugs.

Every day is Opposite Day while fascists are in charge. Trump claiming to be the POTUS of peace is the one of their biggest lies.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud.

This video she sanctioned is fake.

Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

The NY Times is a very high quality newspaper. Extraordinarily talented and rich in resources. But sometimes the high-level editors and management get on strange political obsessions. Like Hillary Clinton’s emails. Their commitment never to cover prominently any “No Kings” protest is astonishing.
