A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....
Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

Marquette Park this morning, ~45 min ago at 70th and Washtenaw per anon FB post. Through a screen, someone films Border Patrol agents taking a man into a red minivan and driving away. Another angle of this shared to social media shows it happened in front of a daycare.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

a strange dog wearing a red harness stares at us with wide golden eyes and a tiny blep. his skin is black, and he has no hair on his body, but he has an incredible main of red and blond fur around his head and ears. his face is furless, but it's framed by fantastic mutton chops. the tag on his collar has "X Factor" handwritten on it. he certainly has it going on, whatever "it" is.X Factor stands on an elevated dog bed in the backseat of a car. he's buckled into the seat with his harness. he looks back at us with a blank expression as trees pass by outside the window.X Factor stands in profile on wooden flooring. he's wearing his red harness and giving us a wide-eyed expression. his tail is only about three inches long, and it too is hairless.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Trump: “It’s a war from within. We have to handle it before it gets out of control.” Translation: Lots of Americans are anti-fascist. They are too smart and empathetic for our racist, xenophobic, elitist propaganda to work on so we need to have a civil war before we lose this manufactured crisis.

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
