The founder of AIPAC was a registered foreign agent who got tired of the paperwork. When RFK's DOJ ordered registration in November 1962, AIPAC was incorporated six weeks later. The Fulbright hearings found $50 million in hidden foreign money. The receipts go back 70 years. youtu.be/f_EXgeolEqw

Go read Snyder's full piece:https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-coup-attempt Call your representatives and say it out loud: we are worried about an auto-coup. Be specific. That's the first step. Democracy is a verb. Act accordingly.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Soooooooo… Iran gets a younger and more hardline Ayatollah… The people are not “liberated…” And they get to charge a toll for ships and oil tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz… And Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Karoline Leavitt, Dan Caine, and MAGA are calling this a win for the U.S.? 🤣

Just wow.

Cure for Paranoia. Playdead. Daniel Hamrick. It was a GREAT artist lineup at No Kings 3 in Boise.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Boise, Idaho - No Kings 3.0

FBI director Kash Patel’s emails, photos hacked by Iran-linked group https://aje.news/l0q7iq

Confirmed: A meteor exploded in the atmosphere over Lake Erie near Cleveland this morning just before 9am 👀

What’s getting me through this awful moment? Absurdism and writing awful haikus: Nothing matters now Biggest ‘fuck you’ may be to Exit this life game.

"The Peace President."

To be clear: decapitation strikes, assassinations & a broad array of military options against Iran have been available to every president since Carter. Their advisors cautioned that if they attempted these actions, chaos, terrorism & wider war were real & very likely possibilities. They listened.

Can someone who knows more than me, confirm whether this March date is the actual last date to change party affiliation in order to, say, vote as a republican in a closed Idaho primary coming up this May?

Interesting 🧐

Willem Arondeus was a gay Dutch artist who participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazis from identifying Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. His final words before execution were, “Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards.” 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Much to think about here: "If we conflate damage to people with damage to property, then we might think that the “side” that has physically harmed no one (but has damaged a lot of property) has been more violent than a side that has physically harmed many people."

Need something like this for Idaho as their operations ramp up

Wow.

In case anyone has forgotten ⤵️

It’s worth the 5 minutes (or less) it’ll take to scroll through this comic but holy shit it’s some black mirror type stuff.

“Never once in the many years I have been reporting on Wyden have I ever encountered a warning of his to be hyperbolic, let alone baseless.” www.forever-wars.com/ron-wyden-on...

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

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.

When they tell you Idaho stands with ICE:

I love how many amazing events took place today as acts of love & solidarity.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

“A coup is happening in the United States.” Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works, argues that President Donald Trump is leading an unlawful takeover of the US government.

We. Are. Under. Reacting.

“Idahoans are shouting from street corners across the state: We want ICE out of our communities, schools, hospitals and workplaces,” said Mike Satz of The Idaho 97 Project. www.theidaho97.org/ice-out-acti...

Number 1 worldwide in 12 hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

🚨 FOX & MAGA are framing resistance to the ICE surge as a centrally organized and well-funded "insurgency" similar to that faced by US forces in Iraq. This is DANGEROUS rhetoric, setting the stage for vigilante action and/or a massive federal roundup of activists under the guise of anti-terrorism.

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

The only way to respond to bullies is to not give them even an inch.

This guy has a 916 area code because of course he’s a political refugee to Idaho. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. 😑

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Listen to wise Professor Timothy Snyder: Thoughts on MN laws, language and leadership. It is in how we treat the law, use the right language, and respect the real leaders, that we will get out of this and become a better country.

Additional context sent to us about this guy makes his values very clear

Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video. 📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

We Cannot Trust The Federal Government To Tell Us The Truth

“Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.”

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.
