@LongTimeHistory But they say they’re “free speech absolutists”!
Gee, are they lying when they say that?

FBI shows up to interrogate a U.S. citizen at his house—for writing an anti-ICE social media post.

"This is about comments that you posted online," said agent.

Orders homeowner to stop recording—refuses to even tell him which comments.

Agent wearing unique World Cup uniform to indicate he is currently assigned to work with ICE on immigration issues.

Craig Brittain has been actively documenting and participating in protests at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

His social media posts videos of demonstrations, conflicts with agents, and calls for the facility’s closure.

First-time voters say they’re voting for @JamesTalarico:

“The fact that Talarico doesn't plan on taking any PAC money… He's free to actually be a servant of the people rather than the billionaire.”

“He's not about like the big corporations, and he really cares about people.”

“My school district got sued last year by Paxton. So to know that his first bill is going to be an anti-corruption bill is very important to me.”

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors.

Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.

This week, DHS waived every one of our nation's most important environmental laws to bulldoze new border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park. This marks the first time in U.S. history these laws have been waived in a national park.

With these laws gutted and a $1.7 billion construction contract already issued, very little stands in the way of DHS contractors plowing into the park, permanently destroying countless archeological sites, blocking off river access and turning this peaceful national park into an industrial construction zone.

We will continue to fight this project every step of the way... more on that soon.

28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets https://t.co/Lu6vBCVJ8R

ICE tackle U.S. citizen—shoot him with taser after already pinned to ground.

4 agents hold the man face down—while 5th agent tazed him in the back.

Another agent points a weapon at a witness.

"Don't point that at me again," man says.

"I don't feel safe," agent yells back. "It's whatever I say—Get back!"

The man detained was a community volunteer with VC Defensa.

Incident occurred in an area open to the public at the Ventura County Government Center in Ventura, California.

The Trump sons have made no secret of their willingness to cash in on Trump’s power, hobnobbing with foreign government officials, making conveniently timed investments and joining corporate boards at a dizzying speed.

It’s mindbendingly corrupt—don’t lose sight of it.

@jtskarda @DrNeilStone Interfering in Hungary’s elections while claiming to oppose election interference.
Claiming to prosecute fraud and corruption while participating in a corrupt administration that pardons dozens of people convicted of fraud if they pay bribes.
He is a lying, scheming hypocrite.

@jtskarda @DrNeilStone Married to a woman whose parents are both immigrants while continually bullying immigrants (ex. Haitians in Ohio) or complaining about immigration (ex. speeches in Europe).
Getting people fired for mild Kirk criticism while lecturing Europe on free speech.

Trump's UFC spectacle on the White House South Lawn is taking 7 agencies and $60 million to put on—meanwhile the Trump family stands to profit as they sell coins commemorating the fight. More blatant corruption.

🚨42-year-old Trump cultist Chad Rusher, of Bloomfield, Indiana was arrested on June 9th and faces five counts of possession of child s*xual abuse material and one count of meth possession.

On Facebook, Rusher was posted pro-Confederate imagery, shared memes glorifying ICE shooting Renee Good, and declared “TRUMP 2024 and for life.” He also shared anti-trans content captioned “Dam straight!!!!” and spread disinformation about Palestinian protesters “storming the White House.”

This is who the MAGA movement attracts and protects — and the Epstein culture comes from the top-down.

Rusher has been booked into the Greene County Jail.
