GOP staying on message. Every statement is a shit sausage lie.

Psyche 101. Repeat the lie often enough the mammals believe the lie.

Antitdote. Repeat, every GOP statement is a shit sausage lie.

Your lying eyes. Douchebag paper NYTimes maintains its
legendary right wing nut baggery support.
When the oligarch media wants you to hear and even after they bias the populace and the polls they still have to lie about the polls.
NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

Destroy climate research. Destroy climate data.
The oligarch way.
I've mostly been talking about the Trump regime's plan to dismantle NCAR, but you might be asking yourself, wtf is NCAR and why should I care? @drshepherd2013.bsky.social has got you covered here.

Given the suicide rate among veterans I was going to say
to expect higher rates among ICE and CBP agents. Probably even higher for the $50,000 bonus creeps.
"They said Isaiah Hodgson was stationed in Long Beach at the time and would stay at various hotels in the area, but Border Patrol agents had to regularly change lodgings because protesters would be “yelling at night” outside."

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

If you have not been paying attention, this is the GOP plan to destroy America in pay from the oligarchs, drug dealers and mafia.
There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."

It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Judge says your criming gives you no privilege.
"To begin, this inquiry is not some academic exercise. Approximately 137 men were spirited out of this country without a hearing and placed in a high-security prison in El Salvador, where many suffered abuse and possible torture, despite this Court’s order that they should not be disembarked."

MAGA is GREAT. GREAT AT HATE.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Bingo! The MAGA controlled GOP is built on hate.
What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Judge Beryl Howell for the win.

Until you realize they are blackmailing 6 Supreme Court justices.
ICYMI yesterday's great decision by Judge Howell.
Major decision. In D.C., ICE/CBP can no longer arrest immigrants without a warrant unless they find individualized probable cause of a flight risk.

If you voted any GOP in 2024, YOU OWN THIS.
Take back your party. Take back our country from these
scumbags.
This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Stephen Miller's fake reality justified theater actually kneeling on the necks of the poor for entertaining the MAGA mess.
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
