All of you who think you are immune at @CBP need to realize that the Nazi soldiers thought they were, too.

We will hold you to account.

Your masks will not save you.
The charging of Don Lemon with charges that carry a 10 year sentence is designed to chill the media. It's a clear violation of the First Amendment. Career prosecutors won't touch this case. Dictator level shit. This is what Putin does - makes up charges to lock up media that don't fall in line.

@johnheilmann.bsky.social is talking about the advanced facial recognition and other programs to build a database of "domestic terrorists". This sure sounds to me like the road to a social scoring system, like they have in China. From access to services to permission to travel, all depends on score.

Don Lemon has been arrested for covering a protest at a church.

The media is now being arrested for exercising their first amendment rights.

Trump has hated this man for being a liberal black man for years and years.

The Constitution is in shreds.

Do you remember the Trump/Harris debate?

Do you remember "They're eating the cats and dogs?"

It wasn't true, but it was a preview of the ICE invasion to come.

We just didn't know it.

Many of Gen Z believes they will never be able to own a home. @realDonaldTrump promised to keep home prices high, so "people who don't work very far can't take your home".

6 million new Epstein docs dropped today.

Friday news dump done incompetently.

Watch for an attack on Iran to divert public attention.

All of the female names have been redacted, it looks like they also redacted some men's names.

This means there will be no transparency, and no justice.

DEMAND MORE!

Tulsi Gabbard has been placed in charge of election integrety.

600 boxes of ballots were seized from the Fulton County election board.

@realDonaldTrump has said in the past that his one mistake was not seizing ballot boxes in 2020.

Now there is no one to restrain him - except Congress.

Protesters have already been declared domestic terrorists. It's one step away from creating a domestic terrorist watchlist so that if you are in this database - and the ICE agents say "we have a database" - you aren't allowed on an airplane.

The Threat Screening Center (TSC) maintains the U.S. government’s consolidated terrorism watchlist.

The firehose of shocking news continues.

Why would they do this when doctors inside Iran report as many as 36k have died in protests.

When @realDonaldTrump promised he had their backs it was estimated at 836.

They don't trust him now.

Attack on Iran imminent. Assets seem moving into the Middle East, including RC-135 recon, EA-18G jamming aircraft, and another destroyer from the Med headed through the Suez.

Marco Rubio hinted at a preemptive strike on Iran - the US is worried that Iran can hit the 40k US troops in the Middle East.

All to prove his is bigger than the Ayatollah's.

Bend the knee or suffer the consequences.

Venzuela, blue states, Iran.

It's 25th Amendment time.

Ukrainians reporting a Senior US Negotiator (Witcoff) has no clue what he's doing. He ignores the most basic of diplomacy practices.
He didn't even know who the Ukraine VP was.
He didn't even know when the war began!!!!

@TomHoman just spewed a bunch of nonsense.

He said if we would JUST top exercising our First Amendment rights we would be safer from ICE.

No Little Tommy - we will not.
January 29, 2026 at 5:17 PM
@TomHoman needs to be instructed that following ICE officers is constitutionally protected activity. It is NOT illegal, as he just stated.

If Little Tommy can't follow the Constitution, he should resign or be fired.
