Holy shit this is so funny and good

🔥 “SHOW US THE EVIDENCE” @debunktionjunction.bsky.social shreds Trump’s claim of Iran having nukes (Iraq fiasco “Deja Vu”) at the heart of his pointless war spiking diesel/gas prices⛽️ Reminder: His own DNI Tulsi said they didn’t… THEN he said they were obliterated… THEN we went to war🤔

He got fined. He did it again anyway. 🫡

Share this widely. Please and thank you.

The worst people you know keep making great points H/T @amysiskind.com

NEW: Last October, Border Patrol agents gassed Chicagoans after agents caused a major car crash on the southeast side. I analyzed body cam videos that show agents Benito Nunez, Oscar Guillen, and Carlos Chavira ignored orders to end the pursuit—moments before they blew a tire and crashed.

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

A real President…

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

Quick reminder: Epstein.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Well would you look at that

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Eisenhower

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

30 years. This video should be on every network.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Republican congressman on the Trump & Republican agenda👇🏽

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

If you can’t draw the line at genocide, then how can voters trust you to draw the line anywhere?

Trump says all national security tariffs remain fully in place, and says he'll impose a 10% global tariff on top of existing tariffs He's also ordering 'investigations' Sounds like outright defiance against the courts

Trump's former attorney. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"

NEWS: LA Lakers Co-Owner’s Firm Linked to Proposed $80 Million ICE Warehouse Deal in Texas — a massive facility that could detain up to 9,500 people.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side. Will DHS retract the prior claims?

Two ICE-Gestapo killers have been placed on leave after lying under oath about a violent encounter they supposedly faced during their seige in Minneapolis. They face termination and criminal charges. Good, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists. They should all be sent to jail.

In other words, to quote Hegseth’s favorite saying: FAFO.

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Rep. Khanna: “I believe that Lutnick at the very least needs to be brought before Congress. I think, based on the evidence, he should be out of the cabinet.”

Cancun Ted over here argued that “partisanship is inherent and permissible in the districting process” in an amicus brief he filed with the Supreme Court in the Texas redistricting case last September. www.cornyn.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Sveum and Vazquez, alongside other BORTAC agents, showed up in reports and body cam footage released by a federal judge in November. We were able to further confirm Michael Sveum's identity because one of those videos includes his phone lockscreen with a photo of himself at an ultrarunning event.

This wasn't the only incident where Vazquez has been seen aiming or firing directly at folks' heads (sometimes it's OC rounds, sometimes tear gas canisters) He did it in Chicago as well. Here he is on January 15 once again doing it to protesters and press outside Whipple:

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

*Note: @pacantifa.is first identified Michael Sveum on January 14. This was entirely separate from our investigation into his team, which we started in November.

On January 16, researchers with @bellingcat.com wrote about EZ-17's (Vazquez’s) behavior at just one scene in Minneapolis where he was counted firing his 40mm launcher at people five times within five minutes:

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

It's Elmo's birthday

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

"Donald Trump reportedly visited Jeffrey Epstein shortly before he first announced he was running for president in 2015, and remained “very close” with the convicted child sex offender after his election, a confidential source alleged to the FBI." Per The Daily Beast

Quote from Trump just minutes ago: "The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Liam and his dad are home. (From @voteinorout.bsky.social )

Dear Texas Republicans who insisted on making your gerrymandering even more extreme:
