ICE agent called woman “bitch” before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why won’t they release his name? Don’t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois is a loyalty test.

They went.
They passed.

Legality doesn't matter.
Need doesn't matter.
Crime doesn't matter.
Humanity doesn't matter.
Logic doesn't matter.

Loyalty to DJT matters.
That is all.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
