The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

This isn’t just about one researcher or one organization. It’s about whether exposing disinformation is treated as a civic duty, or as an act of resistance punishable by the state. And that’s exactly why they’re being targeted.

speech, making clear that Ahmed cannot be detained or deported until the court hears his challenge. That intervention matters because it draws a line: the government can’t simply declare evidence inconvenient and erase the person who produced it.

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now.
You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Worth noting that Nigeria makes a point in its statement to debunk Trump’s comments that this violence is specifically directed at Christians, acknowledging that it impacts everyone.

Whenever you all hear them talk of "building new cities" or "Freedom Cities" They're talking about creating a company owned town, *outside of state authority". If you hear about the political movement "Abundance". Reject it. Abundance is the rights attempt to co-opt the left like they did with MAGA.

ICE is a bunch of thugs
I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
