Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?
I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Four senior execs of tech giants like Meta and Palantir are being sworn into the Army Reserve as *direct-commissioned* officers at the unusually high rank of Lt. Col!

It takes 15-17 YEARS to become a Lt Col!!

This is CA Senator Alex Padilla being illegally detained for asking a question of DHS Director Kristi Noem. This is from earlier today.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

This is also why a lot of people have trouble parsing the stuff Musk or whoever is doing to the federal government
"Why would you do this? It only hurts people, with no conceivable benefit to anyone!" yes that's why, they like hurting people as an end in itself
"Why would you do this? It only hurts people, with no conceivable benefit to anyone!" yes that's why, they like hurting people as an end in itself
the biggest difference between the GOP of, like, 20+ years ago and now is that 20+ years ago, it was the party of "we do evil things because we want to believe untrue things" and now it is the party of "we do evil things because we know they are evil, and we like it"
