Now that TikTok has been taken over by Trump's hand-picked group of investors headed by far-right mega-donor Larry Ellison, users are being blocked from typing the world "Epstein" and video uploads of ICE brutality are being blocked.
Ellison is doing to TikTok what he did to CBS.

The issue around the word "Epstein" comes as users experience outages and functionality problems since the popular video app was recently sold to a group of mostly U.S. investors, including Trump ally...

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. You no longer have to ask yourself what you would do if you were in Nazi Germany. You just have to ask if you’re doing enough in Trump’s America now while there’s still time.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

Say, Do you love this orange monster more than your own family? Why? You're in a dangerous cult that is tearing apart families & even killing Americans.

The only way out of this is internal revolt. If you can convince people they need to get out now, they need to rethink their choices then do it.

At this point, what can you say about those who join ICE & Border Patrol?
If you work for them, what does that say about you?
How can anyone justify it to friends & family?
It's a choice to work for DHS & be involved with #ICELawlessness.
It's a choice to cover up abuse, corruption & murder!

I'll be honest, I genuinely think a Civil War has started and only one side seems to know.
“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?”
“Yes, that’s accurate.”
We are so cooked 🇺🇸

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

This is what bothers me so much. We're going to get it over here and people are going to cheer it at first. It'll be all about protecting women and children, but then we'll all be lined up and shot for having a Bluesky account
Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It's heartbreaking to see and know that this torment is being inflicted upon Americans by other Americans.
A diet of Fox News has made the far right despise anyone even slightly to the left of themselves
It's harrowing. They're desensitised. They're dehumanised. They're filled with hate. It's tragic

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

I've just seen it. One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. America better wake up to what's happening.
There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

It's almost as if the constitution doesn't mean anything to Republicans.
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution states,
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation..."

If you're British and this scares you then get out and protest against every palantir contract the UK government is giving away. If Reform get in this is what they're planning for here too.
Well worth the listen
Palantir ....ICE uses this it is called ELITE...
ICE uses this, it is like Google maps with pins that show them their "targets"
And a confidence score ..
meaning how likely they are there...
And remember Palantir has a mass data basis for all of us !!
