The monster in the White House.

A tweet from Acyn (@Acyn) reads:
“O’Donnell: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?
Trump: I think they haven’t gone far enough.”
Below the tweet is a screenshot from 60 Minutes, showing Donald Trump with a serious expression.

It's almost as if letting the ultra-rich own the entire mainstream press and also all the big social platforms had a downside.

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Protesters hold lighted signs that say RESIST ICE on a elevated train platform in Chicago.

Atena Danner, a Black woman poet, speaks into a microphone in front of protesters holding lighted signs that spell the word "RESIST."

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize

When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Russian ship YANTAR, specialized in underwater missions of sabotage/intelligence/engineering/research has made one ping in the Baltic Sea today. Last seen on AIS by Skagen, Denmark in Jan 2025

Operated by Main Directorate of Underwater Research (GUGI)

Likely a stunt, like 2024

#NewsUSA Americans can’t afford to live in Trump republican pedophile America. ICE is sexually assaulting all these immigrants and migrants they are arresting and we are all in danger. They zip tie children and take them to undisclosed locations. These people are criminals.

So... 60 Minutes is interviewing Trump again. You know, the same guy who called them fake news, sued them, and threatened to shut them down… But now CBS is owned by Paramount, and Paramount is run by his Ellison friends. Welcome to having state sponsored media. #cbs #60minutes #donaldtrump
