Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries. www.rawstory.com/trump-oregon...

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Narrator: This is fascism.

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

I don’t think that the United States military murdering Venezuelans at sea is getting anywhere near the attention it should

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

ICE is a paramilitary organization. It is NOT an immigration customs and enforcement agency.

Starting yesterday, notifications of higher premiums are being sent to 90,000 Minnesotans. I heard from a small business owner in Eagan whose premium will increase by *at least* $450 a month. That’s $5,400 a year. That’s why we’re fighting to extend the health care tax credit.

🚨 HUGE ICE procurement activity this week: • Detention/transportation contracts: $91.7M • Significant spending on weapons & ballistic/tactical gear: $74.6M • GPS monitor-based alternative-to-detention program: $22M • Current total: $218.6M | Potential total: $1.3B

About 1 in 4 U.S. adults worry they or someone close to them could be deported, according to a June @pewresearch.org survey.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Kamala Harris tried to warn us. Donald Trump is an unserious person who’s a serious threat to us all.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

BREAKING: This is the scene in Portland at the ICE Detention Center right now. Pepper balls and tear gas — multiple arrests.

Mexico has the Peso, the U.S has the Pedo

I still can't believe 77 million people rebooked on the Titanic. (Trump Voters)

Thugs.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

And this time s where we are in America…

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95% Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

This is an Epstein shutdown.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Swear her in.

Folks. Don’t swallow the BS. The republicans have broken every norm, so why didn’t they kill the filibuster to avoid a shutdown? Because they want it. Now they can fire 200,000 more people and heaven knows what else is in store.

ABC, CBS, Columbia U, countless law firms…are you listening?

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Picking his Cabinet and picking his nose...same results!

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

#TrumpsShutDown He and the GOP own it!

Pritzker: "For Donald Trump and the MAGAs in Congress, this is not about fighting crime or public safety ... this is about consolidating power in Donald Trump's hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections should worry all of us."

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May)

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

This shouldn’t matter. But also - it can’t only matter when it’s not right-wing violence.

Not enough people understand that video games are social media. It's how an extraordinary proportion of young people learn and communicate about the world, about right and wrong, about reality.

This is a targeted attack. Latinos in Action is a fantastic leadership and mentoring program open to all students at Broward Schools. Trump’s threat to withhold school funding simply because a program uplifts Latino culture and community is unlawful and discriminatory.

Portland braces for the same violence seen in Chicago and LA. Watch as one protester in Chicago removes his shirt to reveal all places he was shot by projectiles. The US government firing indiscriminately upon protesters and press alike. No one, regardless of political party, should support this
