it really is 2020 again, when well-meaning people without training are tinged with understandable panic affecting their reporting, bad faith actors sowing misinformation, and resistance libs trying to be heroes but like in a bad way

it's maddening. seeing it from people who were around then too like you really should know better
January 10, 2026 at 3:08 AM
oh yeah i mean, that's a whole different thing than the rumors all day around the metro. i think whipple did have some earlier but not i35

is that describing a checkpoint though with ALL cars pulled over, or just multiple cars that happened to be pulled over who very well all could be pulled over for following feds? it's not clear, and i am disinclined to believe it just for the "evacuated" line on top of it. that's dramatic

some were spreading it on twitter too. it's in chats. no sighting all day ever panned out

Honestly, same with rupar saying freeway exit ramps were blocked. Freeways would have been at a standstill and they just weren't.
January 10, 2026 at 2:57 AM
right, like why is he saying that? he knows 2020 when we actually did have freeways shut down

for folks looking in replies for a link to it, here's a website with highway cams

I'm combing through some right now, but so far things look normal. i'm not very experienced with this website & idk how much of a delay there is with footage, but here it is for folks

all day, these rumors have spread around the metro, and once a report would come in, people would go look up the highway camera and there were no checkpoints
January 10, 2026 at 2:57 AM
right like we can verify this now! people are being so unethical :(
January 10, 2026 at 2:56 AM
oh yep. it's all "my friend said they saw on the news" and no one ever googles to verify since the story they're spreading has it on the news
January 10, 2026 at 2:55 AM
💀💀💀 LMAO oops
January 10, 2026 at 2:54 AM
it's a rumor that has spread in chats all day across the metro and everyone checking highway cameras finds nothing. it's chain letter style
January 10, 2026 at 2:52 AM

January 10, 2026 at 2:49 AM
