Preferably somewhere I can speak the language and I'm fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian but I pick up language pretty quickly so not a requirement. Go:

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.
