You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

The people who voted for Trump in most cases consume different sources of information than you. Those information sources repeatedly suggested to these people that Trump and his cronies are the true Americans here, and the usual fascists/communists are Ds. Blame Rupert Murdoch for that strategy.

They're planting evidence They're compromised They're mudding the news They're covering for pedos They're covering dementia They're robbing Americans They have state media lying They're probably eating the cats and dogs THEY ARE EATING THE PETS

It's weird to think that just a few years ago I would shake my head at the crazies who thought every piece of media was lying to them. Sure, there were some bad faith takes, but not all. Now, though, I find myself in the exact same boat because *gestures at everything*

For decades now, the press has become lazier and less responsible about just running with whatever the administration of the moment feeds them and now that we have an administration of shameless liars, this journalistic decay has led us to a huge crisis of American democracy.

Especially when the Anti-ICE message is literally a bullet with the words "ANTI-ICE" on it, it's like they put a 5-year-old in charge of a cover-up. So dumb.

Is writing on casing shells a thing prior to 2024 or are we just now using this as a way to ensure everyone knows the shooters “motives” it can’t be a coincidence that both Kirk’s and now this guys shooters had writing….

So true, most of these amateurs do little harm but HHS???, Kennedy is like the evil scientist up on the hill and he is going to really fuck it up and we all are going to pay for his incompetence....will be chasing his ass down in Argentina someday as this will end and he will be held to account.

The NYT isn’t covering what it should, WaPo is a gd joke, Democrats are terrible communicators (with rare exception), the media is owned more and more by RW loons AND Most of us cannot afford to pay for a million individual subscriptions on substack… It’s a big big problem

Imagine if all elected Democrats at the federal and state levels answered every reporter's questions about Republican BS by saying, "Before I answer that, keep in mind that Republicans and their media enablers lie about everything." Repeat that a billion times before the next election.

Without trust, the framework society is built upon dissolves. Corruption moves in to fill the vacuum, meaning higher prices, falling tax income, and collapsing efficiency. America only became the most successful economy in the world because its system could be trusted. Without trust, America fails.

We no longer have a democratic republic. The "players" are not using The Constitution. A group of people around a Monopoly gameset table w/o ever having read the instructions that come with it..? at what point was this ever a game of Monopoly?

I agree. No trust. ICE Agents are slamming women to the ground, leaving toddlers alone on the street while carting off their parent, kidnapping grandma weeding her garden,shooting a man, kidnapping a sandwich delivery boy, separating a nursing mother from her baby. It's not the left who are violent.

This last ‘pin the violence on the radical left’ performance is too much for any sentient being to swallow. The convenient ‘anti ice’ ploy just doesn’t sell. Shooter came to kill ‘ICE’ but was only able to hit detainees. Were the ICE guys all wearing their invisibility cloaks? Come on!

Have we considered that this is the point of GOP control of the government? They want to make all agencies so unreliable that we'll beg to get rid of them?

Or X… I just went down an X rabbit hole and they are working overtime … I can’t believe this is Legal. some of the profiles look old and they actually have lots of interactions.. they are doing this to keep people fearful and in check. So they are ALWAYS in fight mode…TikTok will soon be the same

We are an authoritarian nation now. No one can be trusted, that's the point and a main goal of any authoritarian leader. It's exactly why Trump has spent over a decade telling everyone only he can be trusted. And the worst part is seeing Americans actually believe it. It's a cult.

CNN and MSNBC were both quoting attack against ICE stats - when they knew nothing. Verbatim regime scripts setting the stage for these claims. The YouTube videos from the first announcement by both networks boiled my blood.

You cannot believe or trust the people behind an administration who told 35,000 lies last time around. Trump lied to the UN yesterday. Patel lied to congress. They WILL THINK NOTHING of lying to the American people.

He only wrote on one bullet? Who refers to themselves as anti-ice when shooting at an immigration facility? Wouldn't you just shoot at ICE as they are leaving or arriving at the building so be sure not to hit any immigrants you are protecting? Such a atupid narrative they're trying to spin.

The regime spins every shooting by a likely disturbed individual into a Democrat conspiracy, before a single fact is checked. It’s fear-mongering dressed up as information. Patel has to make his contribution to the propaganda machine.

Yeah, an investigation of a shooting at an ICE detention center in Texas has a snowball's chance in hell of producing accurate information. Notable that zero ice agents were harmed, although they are the ASSUMED target.
