Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔 Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked… 🧵1/22 (1/1)

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.gov

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

The stock market has lost $4 TRILLION In the last month due to Trump’s disastrous tariff plans Plus the jobs numbers were equally terrible The price of eggs keeps going up And the GOP is STILL threatening to cut Medicaid by $880 billion so they can give tax breaks to billionaires

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show: They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.” Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag… Made in Nicaragua. They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee. Legendary.

I grew up in the part of Canada that took the most redirected planes on 9/11. I was only 10 so I wasn’t involved personally or anything but I remember it all very well. People took pride in the fact that “we” collectively helped our American neighbours on their darkest day.

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies. We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war. A war THEY lost. We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice. J. D. can go lie on his couch. Canada is #elbowsup

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

Before/after comparisons are some of the most powerful visuals in urbanism. Lots of cool transformations from Paris.

40 changes in Paris in 2 minutes, a video I did in 2023. Bluesky has just increased the video time limit, so now I can post it in full ! ;) Notice how many "after" images still have very little green, as the changes were recent at the time. A good reason to make a new version later !

Obamacares' individual insurance mandate was socialism run rampant, a trampling of American liberty by the coercive power of the rogue Leviathan and the death of freedom. Anyway, here's why I support Donald Trump's plan to make it a felony not to buy a Tesla Cybertruck.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Judge: If evidence emerged that connected a Jan. 6 defendant to a murder, would the defendant be pardoned of that crime under DOJ’s interpretation? DOJ couldn’t answer. Judge: "That’s just extraordinary,” remarking on the breadth of Trump’s pardon for offenses unrelated to January 6th.

politico.comDOJ has abruptly broadened its view of Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons. A judge wants answers.A Trump-appointed judge grilled a Justice Department prosecutor on the department's change in position.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
