Q: Why can't Google AI describe #antifa as a network or not?
A: "Google AI and other AI models cannot definitively describe Antifa as a network or not because there is no consensus on its precise structure. Experts generally describe Antifa as a decentralized, leaderless movement..."

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

“The only way to stop it is to play offense — aggressively redraw maps wherever possible, focus relentlessly on taking back Congress, and be ready to use that power to pass real pro-democracy legislation and hold this corrupted Court accountable.”

Fun fact: maga trumpers are among thousands of federal workers out of work and may never be paid or have jobs if he has his way.

Trump's family engaged in branding and media deals, including Amazon's $40M documentary for Melania.

Karoline Leavitt calls the idea Trump is profiting from the presidency "absurd."

Lawsuits alleging emoluments violations were dismissed by the Supreme Court.

Bottom line: he's lining his pockets.

"The man who attempted a violent coup—who fomented an actual insurrection—will invent a fantasy insurrection to justify overturning the rule of law and deploying the U.S. military against civilians."

"The thing about Rubicons is that they can’t be uncrossed."

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

He's itching to do it.

Trump repeatedly said he would consider or would enact the Insurrection Act.
2020: suggested he might invoke the Insurrection Act.
2023: Said if elected again, he would not hesitate, "I'm not waiting."
2025: citing his view of protests as "criminal insurrection."

If any political appointee from a Democratic Administration behaved this way, Republicans would be out for blood, and Fox would have it on an endless loop.

But in magaland, shredding basic decency to own the libs is the norm. Truth be damned.
