The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.
Time to rise up.

MacArthur Park today wasn’t law enforcement. It was political theater.
No arrests. No crime ring. Just troops, agents and fear.
Kids at summer camps were rushed indoors as helicopters and soldiers swarmed.
The message? Intimidate immigrants. Children became collateral in the show.

The builders behind Alligator Alcatraz and other detention sites are top DeSantis donors.
They scored no-bid or “emergency” contracts worth tens of millions—while funneling cash into his political machine.
Pay-to-play isn’t just speculation—it’s backed by the paper trail.

Yesterday’s action at MacArthur Park is another horrifying example of the Trump Administration’s true goal: stoking fear in our communities.

At the DeSantis Everglades detention camp, people with green cards are being held in terrible conditions, with maggots in the food, the lights kept on 24 hours a day, and delayed access to medicine.
One guy had his Bible taken and was told "here there is no right to religion."

To reiterate an obvious point: The military operation in MacArthur Park was farcical. But it also reveals a habit of thinking and acting by major government organizations dangerous to a free society. What starts as farce can end as tragedy.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.
It’s. All. Lies.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
