Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Sadly, Mr Stake passed this morning.

Nick still needs help, though. If you can safely lend a dollar, that would be much appreciated.

Lani @lanipator.bsky.social · 8d

I hate having to resort to this but Mr.Stake is in a real bad way and his vet bills piled up way faster than I ever imagined.

Anything would be appreciated even just a share if you're understandably strapped. ❤️

At the risk of gatekeeping religious beliefs, if "Christian" groups are attempting to deify Bigot McTinyface, I think it's time to hand over their cross necklaces.

Cuz they sure as shit don't actually believe the religion they claimed to.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE.

If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Never let anyone use the abbreviation Antifa ever again without getting them to admit they are talking about antifascists.

“Antifascists are a dangerous terror organisation” is a statement and designation only a fascist government would make.

Make them say it.
