ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

launching a newsletter on substack any time in the last few years is basically a giant neon sign saying: "I am a political idiot who didn't do my research" "I did my research but platform convenience trumps principles" or "I openly support right wing extremism"

I had asked JTF DC, the task force overseeing the National Guard operation in Washington, about Trump's comments yesterday claiming that National Guard troops "beat the crap" out of Tren de Aragua members in DC. They just got back to me directing questions on this to the White House. Amazing.

He's racist, we been knew that. That's what the conniptions over "woke" and "DEI" and immigrants and everything else has always been about. You wanna be useful? Rebuke this shit with deeds and hire us. Stand with us. Respect us and our leadership. I don't need pity or condolences. I need a job.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

I genuinely couldn't give a fuck about the tax implications. If you need vulnerable, targeted people to be cash-flow positive in order to find empathy for them, you're a shitty human being.

I’m shocked - SHOCKED - to discover that the militant adherence to the idea of online discourse requiring infinite free speech turned out to be nothing more than purposefully exploiting the paradox of tolerance to push the Overton window as far as possible towards technofascism. Shocked.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them. Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

The events of today are a great illustration of why conservatives object to the teaching of history. The hell they are currently unleashing on the world is the anti-American history they will decry and censor in the decades ahead.

Fox News once postured as the patriotic opposition to purported government tyranny. Right now, its primary purpose is to explain to viewers why it is good that masked agents of the state are executing Americans on the street.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.
