Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.
A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “This is a massive problem.” It is a quote tweet of Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog), who wrote: “Anyone who’s been in the trenches fighting these trans militants knows that they are inherently violent. On a level far beyond any other political or ideological faction. Deranged, deeply hateful, angry at themselves and the world. Suicidal. The threat they pose is very serious. …”A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Seems likely.” It is a quote tweet of Aesthetica (@Anc_Aesthetics), who wrote: “I am now 100% confident that Charlie’s assassination was carried out by a radical left wing transgender terror cell. Let’s get into the evidence…” Beneath that, a tweet from Brooke Singman (@BrookeSingman) is shown, saying: “EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner, sources tell me. The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI. Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter.”A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Terrorist cell.” It is a quote tweet of End Wokeness (@EndWokeness), who wrote: “Multiple trans people in the area posted on September 9th that ‘something big will be happening to Charlie Kirk tomorrow.’” The tweet includes a short video clip featuring a man in a dark shirt turning to look back while standing among other people in what looks like an office or police station setting.
A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Disturbing.” It is a quote tweet of Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo), who wrote: “Unmasking ‘Luna’: How I found the evidence confirming that the Charlie Kirk assassin suspect’s alleged lover is trans, anti-Christian and on hormones. Suspect Tyler Robinson allegedly killed Charlie while he was answering a question about trans shooters.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Some of what is happening is that the massive strategic shift of NDP voters toward Liberals to block Tories... may have helped Conservatives in some places. This was a seat where the NDP was running for reelection. But the NDP fell to third, and Conservatives easily picked it up:

"We had two tragic deaths in the House Democratic Caucus; had those deaths not occurred last month, Republicans could not have even passed the bill today," Hakeem Jeffries says. What he doesn't mention is both deaths were of politicians in their 70s. One had cancer but ran for re-election anyway.

The Supreme Court saying deportation targets must have due process (as long as they have a lawyer ready to go with a habeas suit who quickly notices an unannounced disappearing by unmarked agents) is Jim Crow stuff. You technically have rights, says the Court, you just won’t get to exercise them.
