Hello everyone! I recently started a couple channels to cover political subjects, starting with immigration. And I figured now was a good time to share it here since ICE is back to their usual insanity. Below is my LinkTree with the channel options: linktr.ee/redhatredemp...

linktr.eeRed Hat Redemption Official: Instagram, Threads | LinktreeHey everyone! Here are the links to my various socials for the Red Hat Redemption series. The Substack will have references if you want them.

They have no idea where any of the nations are, but they're more than happy to cut off life saving aid to them.

Officials within Marco Rubio’s State Department caused major embarrassment after using a map of Africa in a presentation that failed to place a single country in the correct part of the continent.

Anyways, I'll start by linking to the first one in case anyone would like to start from scratch, as well as the most recent one, which covers detention camps here at home as well as a theological argument(I should also note, I created them through a dissident Christian lens).

Out of the options, I'd recommend the Substack since that'll have the sources I use. I'll also note that this series is made to be something that can be sent to moderate conservatives in your life, so it might not go quite as hard as I do on here lol. But HOPEFULLY it can help expand their views.

This is how it's done. 👏

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Just gonna put it out there that I posted this BEFORE that putback lol

I'm rooting for the Spurs overall, but as a Raptors fan I'm loving OG becoming the complete player we always envisioned. Wish it was on our team, but still cool to see. And also it needs to be said - he's the actual best player on the team. More efficient than Brunson and a lockdown defender.

Here's a thread of ICE agents dragging people out of their cars to assault and beat them down:

Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social

The agent testified about being in the SUV surrounded by protesters and said, "I thought I was going to get drug out of the vehicle and, you know, assaulted or beat down."

"You have to be able to prove he was referring to racial minorities, he might have just meant Louisville fans instead of Wildcat fans." - Samuel Alito, probably

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

Absolutely LOVED seeing this guy who should be out of the league blow a multi goal lead tonight. Most of the time I root for a Western team when my Bolts are out of it, but this year? Let's go Canes.

And millions of white evangelicals will continue to tell you that the guy who just promoted him solely for his sycophancy is a baby Christian. A new Cyrus, if you will.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill's mishandling of protests outside the Newark ICE detention center, with violent state troopers running amok, is a national embarrassment To make it worse, Sherrill invoked the vile "outside agitator" trope of 1960s segregationists My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

🚨 “GO!” 🚨 Near Delaney Hall on Day 10 of the hunger/labor strike, officers get the order — then sprint forward yelling “MOVE!” as protesters scatter. Moments later, mounted police begin moving in. WATCH LIVE ⬇️

Interesting strategy to go for the over the top manly man rhetoric when it's coming from a guy who looks like the dying Voldemort fetus in the last Harry Potter film.

Stephen Miller: "It's very bold that Democrats would choose Texas to nominate their first transgender Senate candidate who's transitioning into a female. When Talarico goes in for a blood test, blood doesn't come out, instead soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett."

They won't stop bombing civilians in Iran, obliterating fishing boats off S America, painting all immigrants as criminals, throwing kids in detention camps, going after SPLC for exposing white supremacist networks, etc. NOTHING will change. YOU must stop speaking truth to power immediately, though.

Leavitt: "Those who constantly, falsely label & slander the president as a fascist & threat to democracy and compare to Hitler to score political points are fueling this kind of violence. The left-wing cult of hatred against POTUS and all of those who support him has gotten multiple people killed."

The VERY rare alert actually worth signing up for.

"We've built a rapid response network to stop ICE detention centers before they start. Receive immediate alerts if a facility is planned for your community and help lead the local fight to stop it..." gtfoice.org

Ironically this is kind of how I feel about Kash Patel. I'd rather the media DIDN'T go after him because a useless FBI Director is far from the worst thing this administration could put out there.

If you can see Jesus in Donald Trump for being “betrayed, arrested, and falsely accused” but not the many peoples who’ve ACTUALLY been falsely accused, imprisoned, and killed at the hands of the state, it is because the Jesus you serve is a mascot for the comforts you enjoy.

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

Prosecutors are also investigating Gregory Bovino, the outgoing Border Patrol commander who was the face of the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota and who was seen on video lobbing smoke canisters into crowds in Minneapolis.

propublica.orgMinnesota Kicks Off Legal Battle With Trump Administration to Hold ICE Shooters AccountableWith the Trump administration refusing to identify agents or share evidence, the case is a game of constitutional chicken: states’ rights versus federal immunity.

I truly think this is one of the best indicators of someone being a genuinely decent person: They take the situations and circumstances of others less fortunate than them seriously, but not themselves. It shows both empathy and a lack of ego.

Always knew deep down that Kenny was a real one because he never took himself or his ESPN gig too seriously. It was like he understood that sports was entertainment and should just be fun. And his job was an extension of that fun.

Above almost anything else, the people that infuriate fascists more than anyone else are those who embody ideals they claim cannot exist. We've seen similar levels of rage with Obama and women of color like AOC & Tlaib, & we see it again because Talarico reflects a Christianity of peace, not fury.

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

These guys are so sycophantic they'd probably volunteer to do Boar on the Floor before Trump even had to suggest it.

Trump turns to Patel after Stephen Miller praises him for five minutes and says, "So Kash, see if you can top that. That's a tough one, Kash." "That is tough," Patel replies, and then he starts praising him too

This is NOT the point of the thread itself, which is great & should be read in full. But I can't help but laugh at the irony of Fuentes' meltdown here, because he's guilty of the exact same thing! Either he was a moron and didn't know Trump was a liar, or he DID know & went along with it anyways.

It's interesting to watch Trump's support crumble with people who are losing their minds over Cluster B Personality disorder symptoms/characteristics that the Mental Health field have been warning about for a decade. 1/

Seems like as good a time as any to quote @sarahkendzior.bsky.social , because much like QAnon, people like Alex Jones got it...kind of right. They just got misdirected by the wrong villains.

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social recently covered Bohemian Grove and there’s a lot of unsurprising connections between people in power. Some of these connections are affecting us to this day. A great example, the cuts to social security in the 1980s were planned at Bohemian Grove

"Preemptive narrative inversion is an early propaganda intervention in which outside parties interested in an actual crime are redirected toward a fictitious crime that exonerates the actual criminals and, ideally, implicates their opponents at the same time."

This was 100% not written by Trump. #1, he doesn't use "Wokeism". #2, there's very little Caps Lock and none of his usual "words that don't need to be in quotation marks" and (pointless parentheses!) Reeks of Stephen Miller imo
