We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.

If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

The President is sending Tom Homan to Minnesota.

He accepted $50,000 in cash bribes from FBI Agents stuffed in a CAVA bag.

Trump, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, and Tom Homan—they're all corrupt, in it for themselves, & lying to you.

A Post insider helped explain to me why the Post is doing such great work despite Everything. Normally, when a superstar journo is covering a beat, younger reporters may have to wait decades to get their chance. Since many of those stars left in the last year, they're getting that chance now.
My @washingtonpost.com colleagues worked round the clock this weekend to expose the truth of what's happening in Minneapolis and bring urgent weather news to millions facing dangerous cold and snow.

If you value this work, tell Jeff Bezos to #SaveThePost

Explain to me exactly which policies are being violated that the surge is supposed to fix.

GOVT: Civil detainers.

JUDGE: Okay what else

GOVT: Failure to share information that allows us to find people

JUDGE: What info?

GOVT: Like Driver's Licenses

JUDGE: But what justifies 4,000 officers? 1/

I will never forgive the legacy media for failing to pick up where Heidi left off. Perhaps they were intimidated or fooled by what this network did to Heidi. Except what they did was the tell, ie, she was onto something big. Now some of the people in the same network are targeting Don Lemon.

The insanely extreme backlash against Przybyla is what prompted me to focus more on this network of people. www.politico.com/news/2024/02...

Looks like the guy who murdered him had a clear view of his empty holster.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that.

My God. On or about 1/20/26, Trump signed an Executive Order to bring back insane asylums. On 1/21/26, Katie Miller (wife of Stephen Miller) wrote that “They should be insane asylums, not shelters” in response to a Pirate Wires article criticizing a shelter for trans & gender confused people. 1/
