George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.
Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

On a warm June day in Nashville, Briana cradled her one-year-old son in the pediatrician’s waiting room. She was there for his routine checkup, expecting to talk about vaccines and growth charts.

I love it when you see one of these cool things while out for a little hike, and thankfully, I was able to warn a dog walker who was not being sensible and walking with their dog off leash. #Rattlesnake #WesternRattlesnake

Tesla's Supervised Robotaxi launch was a pathetic flop.
Tesla's Supervised Robotaxi launched yesterday to much acclaim from the Tesla Cult. Since nobody who was at the event has properly summarized the first day, we thought we would do it.
Below are our findings. 🧵

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

The eerie footage was purportedly taken inside the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on its second-to-last flight as it flew from Delhi to Ahmedabad, hours before it crashed shortly after takeoff en route to London's Gatwick airport.

A pop-up shop that sells pro-Trump and other conservative-coded memorabilia, was set up on-site with campaign-style merchandise on Army property. Soldiers were seen purchasing "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces and faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything."
Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.
