Idk if the law tells us that we can’t arrest someone committing genocide maybe it’s time to break some laws

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

I regret to inform you that you are not actually anti-genocide if you don’t recognize the right of oppressed people to violently resist their oppressors.

This is an AI Bailout. They’re killing American science to bailout AI 😹😹😹

The Jeff Bezos newspaper is working extremely hard to obscure the fact that modest tax increases in exchange for the elimination of all health insurance premiums would be a huge reduction in annual out-of-pocket expenses for almost every American.

If you're paying slightly higher taxes in exchange for much larger savings generated from having zero health insurance premiums, you will have more money in your bank account.

Jeff Bezos's newspaper doesn't want you to know this mathematical fact.

They're going to keep doing this until they accidentally 9/11 a NASCAR event with an AC-130, then spend 100 million dollars getting an army of groypers to post that the pilot was probably trans

🚨This video is terrifying.

And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe.

At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man.

The man is screaming for help.

When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.”

But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away.

Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave.

The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings.

Think about how dangerous this is.

The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping.

In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming.

If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man.

A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.

Pete Hegseth just blocked the promotions of seven senior Navy officers — five of whom are women or people of color — to two-star admiral rank.

For the first time in more than a decade, no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year. https://t.co/RTCUIjTLTx

NEWS: Trump is shrinking two national monuments in Utah by more than 90%. Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears are home to significant dinosaur fossils and sacred Native American sites.

These are the largest cuts to public lands in US history. https://t.co/3mudAFvCSt

I am afraid that the United States is getting numb to the fact that we have a federal police force that is extrajudicially executing people in the streets with zero due process or accountability. This must stop!

Democrats are literally mourning Lindsey Graham.

They’re going beyond the obligatory “RIP” and actually lionising him.

This should be eye opening to you.

Abolish the “two” party system.

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.

Yet in just the last few days:

-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.

-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.

-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.

The surveillance state isn't inevitable.

It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.

Public pressure works. Keep pushing.
