Don't get in the van.
If a masked stranger jumps out of an unmarked van and tries to force you inside without identifying themselves—it’s not law enforcement. It’s a crime.

You are not obligated to comply. You have every right to protect yourself.

Stay alert. Stay safe. Know your rights.

Here is one of the pieces of shit from these text chains on a CNN show. These are the most vile garbage people. May they all have the full effect of their double orders of beef tallow-fries on their arteries.

Peter Guinta, pictured on a CNN show, believing that he is somehow not one of the Latino people that ICE would slam into a curb if given the chance.

So when someone shoots ICE detainees, we automatically know they are MAGA and we have to civil war now, right?

This is how Italy got rid of it's MAGA problem 80 years ago. MAGA is making a day like this increasingly inevitable.

In their eagerness to "cancel" Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters accused him of blaming one of their own for the death of Kirk. This claim is baseless, as is their continued counter-accusation that a "leftist" was responsible.

Fascist propaganda isn't designed to convince, but to destroy reason itself.

By targeting individuals for quoting Charlie Kirk, MAGA has revealed its true priority: loyalty to the messenger, not the message. They've shown that the identity of the speaker matters more than the content of their words.

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Fascism operates by manipulating a nation's sense of time, selectively deleting elements of the past to legitimize their actions in the present and justify their ambitions for the future.

Joe Rogan's podcast should be called "The Dunning-Kruger Effect" podcast.

JD Vance has had a vision.

He has seen how the world will react to his death and he is lashing out in anger.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

JK. Political violence is never OK. And to offer to bail out a murderer is tacit support at best.
That's the type of vile, inhuman shit Charlie Kirk did. Rot in Hell, Charlie.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments.

Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

Republicans declared war on my state a few days ago and now they are wondering why a leader of their war was shot?
