The feds are now lying to local politicians to hide their racial profiling kidnappings.
Tonight, the Department of Homeland Security announced that on Tuesday they detained 14 of our neighbors on immigration charges. What they initially reported as a targeted criminal enforcement action was in fact an identity-based raid on people who had done nothing but show up for work that day.

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

Legacy media keeps pushing “young man have radicalized” narrative, to fit their equally wrong “the people have become more right-wing narrative.
Real story is “radicalization” of young women… but, like their sisters in previous generations, they only live in shadows (negations) of their male peers.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

By this logic, thousands of school children are being paid / bussed into Washington DC every year to boost the admissions numbers at area museums.
A good sign you’re in a cult is convincing yourself the only reason people would ever criticize your dear leader is if they are being paid to do so.

This is THE most important finding from the latest 🌍 #ODA statistics drop from the #OECD.
🚫It's NOT that foreign aid hit record levels in 2023.
✔️It's that more than 25% of global aid is spent dealing with protracted crises, including COVID, refugees in donor countries and aid to Ukraine.

The system is rigged.
The 3 largest US oil companies - despite doing most of their business in the US - paid 8 times more to foreign govts last year than they paid the US.
Meanwhile, FEMA hit funding shortfalls for hurricane season, which is growing worse thanks to the burning of fossil fuels.
