Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

What happened in Texas was a setup the shooter knew they would see his bullets , he killed the immigrants but yet his bullets were anti ice. The only thing that makes sense is the right now are trying to setup the left . They are trying to make us look like the violent ones.

One of the reasons why the FBI is supposed to be apolitical is because Americans need to have trust that investigations into atrocities like this morning are competent and removed from politics. Instead, now that the FBI is highly politicized, half the country will not trust anything they say.

1. This is unquestionably illegal and almost certain to fail in court (only “almost” bc our lawless SC runs on Fox vibes). 2. Dems need to figure out a plan if Congress refuses to certify election and tries to long parliament it (your obscure English Civil War ref). It truly has come to that.

I think there are a lot of us who feel like we've been yelling this frantically into the void for a long time now. The experts keep saying it. All the signs are here. Many of us see it, and keep trying to sound the alarm, yet the public remains oblivious. It's terrifying. IDK how we break through.

Walmart and Home Depot have decided to cooperate with ICE. 🤬 Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers. If you weren’t boycotting them before, you can add them to your list!!

Timothy Snyder said recently that the resistance to fascism is sometimes highly organized, as with #NoKings, and sometimes develops spontaneously. This is the latter. L.A. resisters are finding hotels ICE agents stay in & making sure they DON’T get a good night’s sleep. apple.news/AHAGjsRINRmq...

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t — LA Public Press
When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

People need to see what’s happening. ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless. Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

The Trump administration falsely claims the protesters in Los Angeles are violent people but if you are on the ground in Los Angeles, you will see people from every walk of life. They are protesting the treatment of people being illegally detained by ICE.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Great catch by photographer Andrew Caballero-Reynolds for AFP.
President Donald Trump trips Sunday while boarding Air Force One prior to departure from Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, New Jersey, en route to Camp David. Trump is grimacing as he attempts to stay upright. His orange face taut while rolls of fat collect around his neck. He looks frail, his right hand gripping the stair rail like his rotten life depends on it. The photo is a credit to ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS for AFP.

The Naval Academy cancelled a freakin' Ken Burns documentary showing, not because of the content, but because Burns had been critical of Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...
In November, representatives for the filmmaker Ken Burns reached out to the academy with an offer to screen clips from his new six-part series on the American Revolution at the academy in a private event for a select group of midshipmen. The school accepted and booked the event for April 22.

But in late March, the school’s leadership felt that Mr. Burns’s criticisms of Mr. Trump before the 2024 election could cause another outcry from conservative think tanks and Republican members of Congress.
