Republicans are successfully building out Orban's state media model here in the states. It's really not very subtle.

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

The people who wanted a separate halftime show are the same people who wanted separate water fountains and bathrooms.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data. Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

The important thing to remember about propaganda is that if someone is lying, there must be someone they're lying to.

Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, planetary scientist and science communicator. He played an active roll in the Mariner, Viking, and Voyager programs. He was professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences at Cornell, and narrated the TV show Cosmos.

She isn't an AG. She's a mafia capo with the power of DOJ to play with.

I've said this before. The jury system is basically the only check and balance that's worked as it was supposed to, and I fully believe the reason is that it's in the hands of ordinary people.

Where has this Dem party been the last ten effing years?! I'm glad they're doing this now, but jeez. Let's leave the consultants out of it and just say what's true from now on, yeah?

Autocrats don't like having their authority questioned.

The right's arguments always break down if you look even a SINGLE layer below the surface.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

For example, I'm a (very) white man who does not feel personally attacked by messages against hate and racism, because I'm not a hateful racist.

Next Superbowl halftime should include a recreation of the confederate surrender at Appomattox while Jefferson Davis flees the scene dressed as an old lady.

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

We are in a small community outside Minneapolis and a child arrived to an empty house on Friday. No parents, ice kidnapped them and just leave children to wander alone after school

NORMAL PEOPLE: My god, I hope Vonn is okay. What a terrible crash. An amazing career. TRUMP: I like skiers who didn't crash.

We were so innocent then.

the guy who financed a propaganda film about the nazi first lady is killing a newspaper that writes unfavorably about her and her husband. this is how the club works.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

ICE Agent Scores Easy Win By Deporting Own Family https://theonion.com/ice-agent-scores-easy-win-by-deporting-own-family/

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

Americans have been so poisoned by TV copaganda slop that it largely doesn't register to them that police officers are not supposed to point guns at people guns are in principle not a tool of law enforcement, they are a tool of self-defense that we allow law enforcement officers to have

💯 Awesome! But there are hundreds or thousands more who didn't have the good luck to be photographed and get this much attention and special treatment. Work's not over. They should all be saved.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

The legacy of Noem, Miller, and this whole regime

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

He's made we aren't enslaving people.

when we say complex processes of repression & violence are highly contingent & dynamic, we mean they depend on active choices people make—nothing is inevitable. we know from lots of research that people can interrupt violent processes by making choices that reflect their values. this is an example.

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

🎧 listen this is heartbreaking 💔 @coldfishstix on TikTok for the whole track

Science is out here doing miracles while the US government is like, "Science bad! Drink goat's blood! Make strong time!"

This is why indie journalists like Jedeed are SO important right now. Journalism's role should be to answer the question: "WTF is actually happening right now?" but MSM infotainment is not getting it done. I can't afford a bunch of subs - I have Slate and Jedeed.

"Domestic terrorism" is when you won't let them abuse you.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing." They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

What percentage of Americans do all the Senate Democrats plus Murkowski & Collins represent I would like to see this information included in every report of a Senate vote, the same way journos eventually established the norm of reporting the party of the president who appointed federal judges.

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

Guys, I think we found the secret pedophile cabal.

Shocked that a Trump official would lie about something so important...

Elon Musk has publicly claimed he never visited Epstein's island and barely knew the man. New documents show Musk emailing Epstein in Dec 2013: "Is there a good time to visit?" Epstein: "always space for you" This was 5 years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and sex offender registration.

Scandinavians sound awesome in this.

If you answer “No” you get an invitation to Mar-a-Lago
