in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

‘A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain.’ A 31 year old man who entered the US legally has had his life and his health destroyed by ICE who kidnapped, detained, and severely beat him. Then lied about it. ABOLISH ICE NOW

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Are we paying attention yet, America?
Screenshot of an X.com post by Gavin Newsom (@GavinN…) with text: “Censoring books. Rewriting history. Attacking independent institutions. Using military force against American citizens. This is what authoritarianism looks like. Wake up.” Below is a video thumbnail of Newsom speaking at the World Economic Forum with a blue WEF backdrop.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

This is at the very least a civil violation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, unlawful entry, unlawful search, entry without a warrant (defective warrant), unlawful seizure, and excessive. One could argue criminal conspiracy if the kidnapping occured as an inevitable consequence of racist policies.

I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to Renée Good’s memorial. But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders. From me today in Minneapolis:

Press release of intent to strike statewide by Minneapolis unions next Friday. Please pass it on and spread the word. Please participate in the strike if you can, in solidarity with the people in Minnesota. P.S. A nationwide strike would shut the country down and stop the illegitimate takeover.
