My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here
Affidavit for Fulton County FBI raid is out & begins with massive red flag, noting that "criminal investigation originated from referral sent by Kurt Olsen, [Trump's] Director of Election Security & Integrity"
Olsen was leader of 'Stop the Steal' in 2020 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.

Seeing & listening to the Dhammacetiya monks (and sharing them with at least a thousand or so other people) was an experience I'll never forget. 🙏🏻
Lots of hurt being inflicted in our country, so the monks on their #WalkforPeace are most welcome. 🕊 #Raleigh #NC

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

Tony Dokoupil just last week said that CBS was going to represent the views of average Americans and not the elites. He then cancelled his vacation to come on the air and say that regime change in Venezuela is awesome, a position that maybe 20% of Americans hold.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.
