Im sorry but there is only one type of letter that would actually send Disney Corporate offices “into a panic” and I’d get banned if I were more specific

NEW from LCRW: Things moved fast after Charlie Kirk was murdered. @azrww.bsky.social, the staff & I tried to encapsulate the bizarre first week after his murder in as much minutiae as we could stomach. The end of every graf felt like the most gut-punching absurd kicker I've ever written.

NEW: Documents reveal that ICE is buying 20 armored BearCats for $8.2 million. No-bid contract. ICE keeps expanding its militarized presence while communities pay the price. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

CONFIRMED: ICE activity in Maplewood and North in Chicago’s Wicker Park / Humboldt neighborhood. Just saw a neighbor kidnapped.

I broke this story the day before this post, and 404media (of which I’m a big fan!) credits this Bluesky post as “first noticed.” Seems trivial but links can really help new substacks! Feels bad man.

Thanks to @thedailybeast.bsky.social for the shoutout on this @juliaornedo.bsky.social!

Admittedly not an expert here but I feel like the answer here might be "yes"

This was such a massive failure at the congressional level. The misguided and widely criticized attempts to ban TikTok only empowered Trump and his conservative media allies in the end—like many critics of the ban legislation feared it would

NEW: Ryan Fournier, who has been leading an effort to dox people for their Charlie Kirk posts, was once accused of pistol-whipping a woman. jpaladino.substack.com/p/the-man-do...

woulda been cool to give me a link or shoutout! (my substack post predates their "first noticed by" link by a day) jpaladino.substack.com/p/kash-patel... @404media.co

some goat antics to purify your timeline

NEW: ICE can't stop awarding no-bid contracts with dubious justifications. Remember those "DEFEND THE HOMELAND" ICE propaganda vehicles? Now they've forked over more than an a million dollars to a Wyoming company with no relevant history, to "wrap and upfit" the SUVs. 🔗below.

But, oc, he did. Kash Patel’s DOJ Scrubbed Study Showing Right-Wing Violent Attacks Outpace All Other Extremism As MAGA world rages about left-wing violence, the government appears to have removed a research paper showing contrary evidence. jpaladino.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

Following Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s criticism of Democratic leadership for refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries’ spokesman mocks: “Chris Van Who?”

Fucking horrific to watch the governor, who is not an investigator, emerging every six hours to give live updates on whether or not the shooter was trans enough to murder your neighbors in revenge

As the debate rages over left-wing vs right-wing violence, the DOJ yanked a research paper showing the right is clearly responsible for the deadliest attacks, far more than leftist or “Islamic” extremists. The page now redirects to the homepage. Link: jpaladino.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

WSJ just added an editors note at the top of the story 😬

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

From the Tyler Robinson’s mother’s Facebook before it was yanked. A family outing at some sort of recruiting event.

I think people need to understand that there is a massive online far right wing community that hated Charlie Kirk, led primarily by Nick Fuentes and his orbiters. it’s overly simple to think “Kirk rightwing, so shooter must be leftwing,” as MSM is casting it.

with alt text. It's incredibly disturbing that the NYT is describing the Great Replacement Theory (and antisemitic variants) as merely "unsubstantiated."

Oregon governor Tina Kotek, a gay woman, is ordering flags to be flown at half-staff to honor a podcaster who said gay people should be stoned to death.

Just gonna drop this here tonight wapo.st/3VKVNT2

Meanwhile…

This is what the “moderate” abundance libs are trying to white wash. Fuck this guy, and fuck your hagiography.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

“MLK was awful. He’s not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn’t believe.” -Charlie Kirk

The Right Way

“The Right Way”

Not that it would’ve changed the outcome, but maybe they’re regretting shifting the entire federal law enforcement and intelligence focus to abducting farmworkers

bluesky removed video of Charlie Kirk getting shot could’ve put a graphic warning on it, as it’s a major news event, but nope, just took the whole post down.

Big news out of Atlanta yesterday - Judge Farmer is back in court this morning and may or may not also end up dismissing the remaining counts in Georgia AG #StopCopCity indictment

NEW: I break down a disturbing couple of pages of the Epstein Birthday Book - and show the connection to Trump and Mar-a-Lago. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

Exciting new opportunity as part of America's last jobs program. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

Talked to 23 people who suddenly have to pay huge tariffs or otherwise cannot get chainmail from Pakistan, yarn from France, retro computers from Japan, metal music from the Netherlands, DVDs from Germany, cosplay supplies, sunscreen, etc. www.404media.co/its-just-a-m...

Others have pointed this out, but worth repeating that this insane drawing from the Epstein birthday book 100% depicts Mar-a-Lago in the background.

DHS has dramatically expanded its collection of DNA from kids, their families, people who live in their houses etc. It’s only a matter of time before every ICE agent is doing DNA swabs on everyone.

What happened at SCOTUS today is alarming: The right-wing majority allowed the Trump admin, as part of its sweeping immigration raids, to racially profile Spanish-speaking people who look Latino at certain low-wage job sites in the Los Angeles area while litigation challenging the raids is ongoing.

6 days ago, Israeli spy planes flew just off the coast of Tunisia. Today, the Sumud humanitarian flotilla was bombed while in port, allegedly by a drone.

ICE operations in Chicago have begun. The official DHS account posted a picture of one of their new SUVs with a "Defend the Homeland" livery on top of the federal parking garage at 450 S Federal St. This site may be used as a staging ground for ICE vehicles. Activists, take note.

"The contract between Paragon and ICE requires all US users to adjust their threat models and take extra precautions."

Gotta wonder how editors keep pushing out “both sides” coverage in the face of 80/20 polling on this issue

NEW: Shitty signs of things to come, Chicago edition. A new "urgent" sole-source contract for portable toilets signals a massive ICE mobilization in Chicago. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

“Democrats… launched an inquiry on Friday, demanding the Trump administration provide answers about its use of the sole-source contract.” @jasonpaladino.bsky.social writes how a Zeteo story on ICE SUV contracts has spurred a congressional inquiry. Read now: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

The Israeli government talks as if it is comfortable with international isolation. But they are also privately running a massive survey and focus group project in the US and Europe to try to figure out how to stave off pariah status. New report from @dropsitenews.com

NEW: Following my @zeteo.com report (finding ICE awarded a dubious SUV contract to a Republican donor who helped get his nephew pardoned) the Committee on Homeland Security democrats have launched an inquiry. Link below.
