CBS was the home of Walter Cronkite, “the most trusted man in America.”

This week CBS announced it will be the home of new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, a right wing firebrand who made her name by getting professors fired for criticizing the Israeli government.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Our forebearers fought and died on battlefields to protect our right to free speech from tyrants. This right is so central to the Constitution we vowed to protect that it is enshrined in the very first amendment. You will NEVER take our freedom of speech away on our watch.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Yes. I discovered something while communicating with some fellow Americans. MANY Americans don’t understand that Israel is basically a RUSSIAN colony at this point. Sometimes you assume that people have that context and it never gets spoken because it’s assumed knowledge. So let me explain.

PsyopgirlHQ @psygirlhq.bsky.social · 5d

They are committing treason to protect their asses. And also, many don’t realize how many Israeli occupiers are Russian nationals too. Including BB’s grandfather. Lets learn about how the KGB infiltrated Mossad back in the 80’s (the same time the KGB infiltrated U.S businesses) links 👇

Arkansas police pulled over an Indian GrubHub driver wh ois married to a U.S. citizen. They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE, where he was held for 30 days.

He has now been stripped of his immigration status.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

Peter Thiel is a fucking lunatic and must be stopped.

This article is insane.

www.wired.com/story/the-re...

"A direct path forward is prevented by America's constitutional machinery," Thiel said. "Still, there are more possibilities for action than first appear." Strangely for someone so suspicious of global unity, Thiel saw one such possibility for action in the creation of a worldwide surveillance network.
"Instead of the United Nations, filled with interminable and inconclusive parliamentary
debates that resemble Shakespearean tales told by idiots," Thiel said, "we should consider ... the secret coordination of the world's intelligence services, as the decisive path to a truly global pax Americana." This surveillance supersystem, Thiel wrote, could act as "a political framework that operates outside the checks and balances of representative democracy as described in high school textbooks."
