“a curiously varying mixture of gullibility and cynicism with which each member… is expected to react to the changing lying statements of the leaders...”

“mixture of gullibility and cynicism… is prevalent in all ranks of totalitarian movements”:

Hannah Arendt, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘮
In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true… The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

Since January 2025, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested over 100,000 people—doubling the pace of the final year of Joe Biden's presidency.

Vittoria Elliott tracked where the most migrants are being arrested, where exactly ICE is taking them, and where they're deported to.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

Mike Johnson: “When the government subsidizes something, it means it’s not working.”

Is he speaking about farmers, bankers, insurance companies, the Billionaires like Musk? No, just the everyday American that may need the ACA to live.

Trump wants you to worry about Antifa, which is about as real as Bigfoot

If you want your government to be honest with you, you're Antifa.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Now Letitia James. If you oppose Trump his minions will prosecute you. This is fascism in America.

Price of lying to people is baked into their business model. As long as people keep subbing to cable networks and especially the news bundles, even if they don't watch FOX, but sub to the rest, they still are paying FOX.

Not watching is not enough. Gotta cut the cable cord COMPLETELY. No News subs

Indiana voters: Let your legislators know you don’t like having elections rigged in your state.
Screenshot of a tweet from Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) on X. The tweet reads: ‘Turns out… RIGGING ELECTIONS IS NOT POPULAR. Keep up the pressure. It’s working.’ Below it is an embedded tweet from journalist Adam Wren reporting that Donald Trump’s mid-cycle redistricting push in Indiana is stalling, with Republican officials warning the White House.

They want people to miss this.

It’s not normal — so I’m calling it out.

Criminal investigators generally require college degrees or advanced education.

ICE doesn’t seem to think that matters.

Let it sink in. They also have the largest budget you’ve ever seen for an enforcement agency. 🚩 🧵 ⬇️

Did anyone even pay attention? 👀ICE quietly rolled out a hiring push for “Criminal Investigators” no college degree required, $50K in bonus and up to $100k salary.

Think about that.

ICE’s growth has outpaced that of the FBI, DEA, and ATF —combined.

Now they are lowering education requirements while expanding detention authority.
