NGL, 2008 me is devastated to be reposting Bill Kristol unironically. But considering how pols like Jefferies and media like Ezra are misreading the moment, it’s nice to see that a super old white neo-con gets it.

So exhausting..

Agents of the state came for a queer woman in the night to charge her with a hate crime because she took pictures of a protest.

Me and my new follower

Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

This might not be the time to remind everyone but we treat vets - especially combat vets - like fucking shit. Once separated from the service, vets are mostly on their own.

Here’s a free version. It’s well worth reading. Klein has an outsized opinion of himself if he thinks that he needed to write nonsense whitewashing Kirk’s legacy in order to sit in grief with people who mourned his loss. It’s absurd. Coates makes Klein look feckless and uninformed.

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

I really cannot overemphasize how much the Vice President follows neo-Nazis on Twitter. Swastikas! Race war! The whole thing! He’s not even trying to hide it, and that’s because he knows liberals and the media will be too embarrassed to attack him for it. We are doing this to ourselves

Realtime picture of online accounts from people you don’t know irl that are intimidating or trying to stir up passions for aggression or violence against the Administration. There is no leftist conspiracy. The call is coming from inside the [White]house. You don’t known anyone on this app.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

Smart Black Lady wasn’t wrong and the press excoriated her for it.

This incident in Katy, Texas has been shown to be an accident involving illegal hunting on a nearby property. Yet this is how DHS describes it. And that description was amplified by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin. Second pic unrelated.

Dr Ian Roberts - his grad date of 1998 from Coppin State & his 2000 Sydney Olympics participation PROVE that 1999 is not the first nor the last time he entered the US. ICE should at the very least answer the question “when did the immigrant illegally enter?” or are we past that here in the USA?

Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka shares she turned down Riyadh Comedy Festival with screenshots of offer and content restrictions https://www.fxoxo.com/222638/ her comments on Threads since I can't seem to add alt text to the screenshots: "FYI there are more of us that said no to the Riyadh comedy …

Good joke and no one one that stage in Saudi Arabia has the balls to steal it.

Fucking “fourth estate.”

Welp.

🤷🏿‍♂️

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Two things: 1) MSM reporters “reporting” official US Govt statements are really now just perpetuating lies to Fog of War everything. They get repeated over & over by talking heads & copy writers. And then news aggregate sites just suck that lie up and push it out over socials. 1/2

None of this adds up

Didn't come into the US until 1999 but ran track meets in Boston, NC, and VA in 1998 according to the World Athletics website. Either he's a hacker or ICE grabbed the wrong guy and it's obviously the latter.

Of course, ICE is lying. 😒 If anyone thinks the Coppin State photo is just a picture, here's the link to the University web page. www.coppin.edu/andre-ian-ro...

Coppin State University has Dr. Ian Roberts on their Alumni page and says he graduated there in 1998. ICE is saying her arrived here on a student via in 1999. How is this possible? www.coppin.edu/andre-ian-ro...

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.

So ICE claimed that Dr. Ian Roberts first entered the US in 1999 and had an active deportation order when he graduated from Coppin State in Maryland in 1998 and ran track and field for them. They are blatant liars. Nothing they say should ever be considered credible.

I'm a resident and we're fucking PISSED. Protest beginning as soon as people can get downtown to the Neal Smith Building and start screaming (4pm & 6pm 'officially')

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

The guy who couldn't get one of the guys from the Man Show fired says he's gonna pull the World Cup. #weaksauce

No protester has taken any violent action and yet ICE has deployed at least a dozen canisters of tear gas, detonated a flash bang in a man’s face, and now a sniper is shooting us with pepper balls.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

NEW: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are all named in Epstein docs released today by Democrats

I am completely and utterly devastated that they know me so well.

There's a social media site that ripe for a lot of the content here, and it's LINKEDIN. Yeah I know, the resume site. But I posted videos of ICE throwing women to the ground and I was SURPRISED at the response. It wasn't viral, but a few hundred people interacted and many left comments. 1/2
