Trump's America: Erasing fairness, leadership, compassion, diversity, integrity, emotional maturity, and stability.
A photograph provided to the NYT anonymously and posted by Adam Goldman, depicting a hallway in the FBI Academy in Quantico VA on Wednesday Jan 29. A painter with his back to the camera is using a long-handled roller to cover an inspirational mural which includes the words fairness, leadership, compassion, diversity, integrity, and stability.

Joking in your Young Republican group chat about the mass murder of 6 million people who'd been scapegoated for decades as morally degenerate ethnic/religious outsiders is just locker room talk. Speaking lightly of the murder of Charlie Kirk to your 400 friends on Facebook is a fireable offense.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

If by innovation and streamlining they mean make it her first act to force staff to do DOGE-style write-ups justifying their existence then yes.

When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans.

Joe Rogan on ICE: “The way it looks is just horrific.”

QAnon queen MTG on the economy: “I’m just living in reality from here on out.”

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
FORM A CROWD STAY LOUD PROTECT EACH OTHER CODE I: ICE NEARBY BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM: PRE-PRE-PRE! → ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA. ROGERS PARK WHISTLE PROTOCOLS WHY A WHISTLE? ON THE STREETS • A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST ALERTS. • LOUD. RECOGNIZABLE. IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. • OUR VOICES ARE STRONGER TOGETHER. WHISTLES GUIDE PEOPLE TO: • FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS • CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD • ALERT NEIGHBORS TO JOIN IN NOISE = VISIBILITY. CODE 2: CODE RED BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS: PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE! → ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE. FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD. DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT. WHY IT WORKS • INSTANT ALERT SYSTEM • FASTER THAN SOCIAL MEDIA • TURNS SILENCE INTO COMMUNITY ACTION ORIGINAL FLYER CREATED BY: WHAT YOU CAN DO • WEAR YOUR WHISTLE AROUND YOUR NECK TEACH FAMILY EIGHBORS TH CODES • USE IT WHEN ICE IS SPOTTED • PROTECT EACH OTHER, ALWAYS TOGETHER, WE KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE. FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD. THIS FLYER DISTRIBUTED BY: PROTECT RP • @PROTECTRP_

Really just giving the game away. There is no legal logic to what they are doing and they never want it to apply to any future Dem president but they need to give Trump whatever he wants.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
