Is this real? Please tell me this is real

Are you F-ing KIDDING ME?! @Donlemonbsky has been arrested by the DOJ?! Exercising your first amendment constitutionally “protected” right gets you locked up, exercising your 2nd gets you killed, and actual murder… well in uniform, gets you nothing! This IS NOT NORMAL nor OK!

Trump: “Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti’s stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent.”

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

Our job now is to make sure Senate Democrats keep holding the line to get ICE Out For Good. Every Democrat must insist on real limits and accountability for the regime’s secret police before any DHS funding bill is approved.

Alert: Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody.

Alert: Twin Cities reporter Georgia Fort was taken into custody.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

I'm seeing a lot of people exposing themselves as delusional right-wingers who had been posing as liberals, and the trigger this time is the Renee Good shooting. I cannot let that slide. Attached is the "are you actually a right wing nut job or a rational person" test...

Brief #historical analysis of a new paper arguing a broader #interpolation theory for the #James brother of #Jesus passage in #Josephus Why it's a worthwhile even if wrong & why I think it's wrong. And I connect it to some lessons in #methodology www.richardcarrier.info/archives/39885 #JesusMyth

You might want to zoom this #philosophy talk Sunday (see QR code). I won't be there & don't agree with Huemer on almost any thing (he's one of the worst #philosophers alive), but figuring out why he is wrong (about things like "radical #anarchism is a good idea") is profitable.

I review a #historical study by Mikael Nilsson of Hitler's #Christianity & its role in his life & ideas, as well others I've often cited, for a trilogy of studies dispelling the myth that #Hitler & the #Nazis were #atheists or their ideology godless. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/39552

The 14th Brigade "Chervona Kalyna" @14brigade of the @azov_media 1st Corps used Vampire bombers to destroy a column of several Russian bikers riding through a cemetery east of Rodynske. Rodynske remains extremely important. We helped this brigade hugely through @dzygaspaw!

These photographs document that period and the tension between an expanding federal presence and a community determined to respond together.

Target got more terrible news today…and it’s time to expand our boycotts! Because ICE isn’t the only one who can escalate. Find the list at tinyurl(dot)com/boycott2026

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

I’ve been getting a lot of messages thanking me for talking about policy and legislation. That is the bare minimum. The sole reason a Member of Congress exists is to introduce legislation, write policy, and make it law. That’s it. That’s the job. If you aren’t doing that, get out of office.

We have to see the movement for democracy and freedom against Trumpism/Putinism as a global one.

Trump yelled at the world to buy up expensive US LNG. How's that going? "On Monday, an auction for contracts to carry American gas along pipelines from Greece to Ukraine, organized by Greece’s national gas network operator, attracted almost zero interest for the second consecutive month."

Thank you, Mr. President.

MAJOR UPDATE 🚨 An internal rift is exploding inside the Trump administration as Kristi Noem begins throwing Stephen Miller under the bus. Finger-pointing has started. This is what collapse looks like. #USDemocracy #Pinks

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

Wow! Just wow. My tax dollars are funding childish goons that came to Minnesota to terrorize and cause chaos. They executed two Minneapolis citizens (with no repercussions) and now one of these infantile creatures moons the protesters. Really makes you want to pay your taxes, doesn’t it?

It’s by peacefully protesting change happens. Do NOT give up your seat!

Daily bunny no.3212 lets it slide

Our calls and emails are critical but it's also very important that we turn up the pressure on senators in public in their home states before the vote on DHS funding. We encourage you to plan creative, nonviolent, and lawful actions that honor the lives taken and highlight our demand to rein in ICE.

We’ve made it easy to email your senators and demand they reject any DHS budget that puts more money into Trump’s deadly deportation machine. With a vote expected later this week, it’s extra important for your senators to hear from you right now.
