This kind of propaganda is how the gestapo tricked folks into thinking they were everywhere, when there were one of them for every 10K Germans.
i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections
Trump doubled down on his comments to nationalize voting Tuesday during an Oval Office press conference. “If you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections,” Trump sai...

This video purports to show congresswoman Jasmine Crockett confronting Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate oversight hearing with leaked memos showing that he lied in confirmation hearings about his position on Roe V Wade. No mention of hearing date. Is it fake?

On Monday 9/22 I set my Spectrum VCR to record the series "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on KABC channel 7 Los Angeles to catch his first show Tuesday 9/23 after his return. Today I discovered that the only recording was a "Family Feud" rerun on 9/22. Does anyone know who's behind this hanky panky?

A text message from the CA DMV reminds me that I have an appointment at 12:40 and offers me a link to check in early to "avoid the line." What line? I have an appointment.

An articulate, straightforward description by Justice Jackson of the criteria for a stay, and how they were not met in this case. How any SCOTUS justice could ignore these unequivocally valid points baffles me.

SCOTUS' inane instruction to the judge to "show deference to Trump re foreign affairs" is not getting the attention it deserves. This take is on target:

Listening to Musk is infuriating because he starts talking before his thought is formed, then spins his wheels in mid sentence deciding what to say. He then spews out 4 or 5 words on top of each other, which he seems to hope will be taken as a sign of intellect. Spare me.

The closest thing I've seen to a plausible plan to deal with Trump thumbing his nose at the courts.
This is literally the point where the judge needs to hold the DOJ in contempt, arrest their attorney, then require a new attorney to respond every hour and keep arresting attorneys until they fucking comply and return this man to the U.S. the court needs to treat this as the threat it is!

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions
