HSI Agents Ricky Patel, Ryan Ribner, Richard Berger, and Timothy Gerber All Lied to Frame Democrats - emptywheel
There are at least 36 affidavits signed by HSI Agents -- like the goons who just searched Ilhan Omar's house -- who have made false claims to frame Democrats or other Trump opponents.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Columbus Day has become one of Trump’s obsessions on his anti-woke warpath. Should we be surprised that the U.S. president has a soft spot for a racist leader who engaged in war crimes and sexual abuse? Read 7 things about Columbus’ horrible record: zeteo.com/p/7-reasons-...

Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.

Probably a good time to remind that the logic behind the Klan Act lawsuit Renee Good's family filed against Jonathan Ross, Stephen Miller, and Tom Homan (among others) is that they're knowing depriving Somali-Americans of their civil rights. emptywheel.net/2026/10/04/c...

The lawsuit by Renee Good's family likens the mask Jonathan Ross wore the day he killed Renee Good to hooded Klan terrorism prohibited by the Klan Act.
