It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.

And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.
relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

This plaque "Loyalty to the Constitution" is located at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

The text explains the unique American military principle of swearing loyalty to the Constitution rather than a specific leader.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

The cool thing about Pete Hegseth is he's going to break every single law on the books, no matter how old or obscure.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

An Austrian NATO official sent a blunt warning to Washington: Touch Greenland & Europe seizes US bases.

Gunther Fehlinger says if the US annexes Greenland, every American base in Europe—from Germany to Italy to Romania—would be confiscated, ending decades of U.S. military power on the continent.

I personally witnessed this in action. I visited a polling booth where less than 10% of voters had cast ballots and then went down the road to watch. During the next 30 minutes, not a single voter entered but when I checked in again over 95% of all eligible voters had *magically* cast their ballots.

To understand why Donald Trump wants the USA to switch to water-marked paper ballots, watch this video of Putin's last election. Water-marked ballots provide the regime with the easiest path to stuff ballot boxes with "official" ballots (since they have the paper).
