George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

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.

This may be the most insane story of the week and we’re literally at war with furries in Portland

These are the strings attached to the "free" Qatar plane to Trump. Qatar is a muslim country and Maga does not like muslims, so I wonder how this will go. Qatar is not a NATO country.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

No crimes. No goodbyes to her infant daughter. Heidy was forcibly removed from the U.S. in 48 hours. We should all be furious. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121

Does she reside in another country?
I think, it’s important to read the news from countries outside of the U.S for their independent take on our government.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.
