This is the kind of thing you put in dystopian movies, except the Trump admin is doing it in real life and our political press strokes their chins like, ‘Mmmm, yes, we should treat this as very normal.’

The ironic thing, of course, is that "Woke 1" was the exact opposite of the Witch Trials. There were no actual witches. That's why the Witch Trials were bad.

Yup. The entire 16 months I’ve been on the ICE flight/TCR beat, I’ve encouraged other journos to join me, bc there are more stories here than I could possibly tell on my own. Many indy journos have. But for MSM reporters, too often they seem content to just repeat what’s already been reported.

This morning's message from Indivisible
Your vote is not small to the people spending millions to make sure you never cast it. They know what happens when working people, young people, women, and every fed-up voter show up together. We flip Congress. They lose control. That’s the whole assignment.

Tucker Carlson’s frustrated bafflement when confronted with basic things like “the UK’s GDP is larger than Russia’s” and “in 1994, Ukraine, Russia, US, and UK signed a treaty called the Budapest Memorandum” shows the state of Putin apologetics. Without lies and conspiracy theories, it falls apart.

I have now ground my teeth to the pulp. The whole "we're the real victims here" shtick is just so enraging.
He reviewed what he knew about the Haitians in Springfield, which had mostly come from his mother, via a friend of hers who lived there, and had little good to say; Jack had seen a video shed circulated purporting to show Haitians eating cats and dogs. Diana had called her up after everything happened, and her friend had sworn that Pierre had waited on her at Texas Roadhouse the weekend before. The friend said she recognized him from the photos. She told Diana that she and her husband had ordered two salads, and when the waiter she assumed was Pierre brought only one salad, she told him that they'd ordered two; she said that he had smiled and said something in a language she did not understand. Diana still wondered about what he'd said. She told Jack that she was worried about him, that Haitians in Springfield were angry. That everybody in the country seemed to be angry, including her. "My son could have died," she said now. "A whole bunch of lives could have been taken. And that's another thing—"But Diana, who had spent years working as a nurse in Ohio prisons, continued. She said her experience had taught her to think "outside the box,

and she offered a theory that none of the investigating authorities had suggested. She believed that what happened could have been more than a suicide, that Pierre could have been "almost like a suicide bomber,"

attempting to send a political message. She said she believed that this could start happening more often.

Like I truly don’t understand how you could have been anywhere in the vicinity of Springfield Ohio even before the election and thought that he’d only go after “criminals.” Trump, Vance, and CO werent subtle in the slightest. I can only really conclude this was a lie the median voter told themselves

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

Exposing Trump's scheme to illegally withhold aid to coerce Ukraine into lying to help Trump's reelection got the aid released. Important point. I don't know how some Dems talked themselves into thinking the best way to counter criminality is to let it slide, rather than investigate and expose it.

Screenshot of my Instagram story because it won't fit in the text. In short, we've built social media apps that promote content about male violence only to the victims - - women - - and the men get to read about anything else. And then people wonder why we're angry and triggered while they haven't seen a word about Cornell.

It’s going to be really hard for them to say Trump’s lost his mind because their feeling of superiority to us dirty hippies has depended for so long on insisting he’s some sort of savant and he’s always been a monster and we knew it and weren’t afraid to say so.
