The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.

I landed on "slopagandist."

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Oklahoma contributes 1% to the U.S. GDP and receives more in federal funds than it pays in federal taxes.

California alone is responsible for approximately 14.5% of the U.S GDP and pays the highest federal taxes (806 billion) and receives less.

Also, who the fuck listens to Lindsey Graham?!

Willy Guhl's work was beautiful and functional, but many of his planters were made with Eternit, a type of cement that contains asbestos.

States' rights have long been a cornerstone of the GOP platform, but now that Trump wants to take-over the vote to grow his dictatorship, he's happy to throw states' rights out the window. Criminal hypocrisy and complicity define the GOP agenda.

Actually in the last 3 months:
-X was bought out by xAI
-Tesla shareholders voted against an xAI investment
-Tesla made an investment in xAI anyways
-3 weeks later SpaceX buys xAI
And musk never recused himself once (even though he has MNPI about the spacex acquisition at time of tesla investment)

Yes, and SpaceX is being prepared for an IPO in June 2026. It's expected to be the largest IPO of all time, exceeding the $26 Billion Saudi Aramco Oil IPO in 2019. SpaceX is reported to be a profitable business.

Elon will cash out the loss generating X and xAI businesses though the SpaceX IPO.

Can we stop calling it X?

It's petty, but I rather think Musk would be pretty p*ssed off if he saw you'd written "...Twitter was bought out by TwitterAI, TwitterAI got bought out by SpaceTwitter".

Such pettiness would bring me joy.

10 days is too long to wait to rein in an out-of-control ICE.

I voted no on the DHS funding bill, because I could not allow them to continue to kill Americans and terrorize communities, for even one more day.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

Law enforcement cannot be lawless.

Thousands of aggressive, untrained agents of the federal government continue to injure and terrorize Minnesotans. This must end.

For context, here are other things Blanche thinks aren’t a crime.

It’s not a crime to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power or lead an insurrection.

It’s not a crime to murder another human being who ICE decides is resisting arrest.

people need to stop using the term “law enforcement” so lightly. ICE has never once enforced any laws. they break laws constantly. cops are no better. the only people i’d consider true law enforcers are traffic guards, and they don’t even need a gun to do their job.

Now that most of the country wants to abolish ICE, get ready for the goalposts to shift, so that abolish ICE becomes "reform ICE" as we get closer to the election. We have to continue pressure to make sure we really mean abolish, when we say it, otherwise we will be sold out.

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.

Giving ICE body cameras doesn’t make us more safe. None of us trusts the government to be honest with saving the footage. Unless it goes to a secure cloud as it’s being recorded that can’t be corrupted, it’s not a win. ICE OUT!
