Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’

It’s our duty to know.

ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.

This is fascism.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.

Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.

No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.

If elections aren't safe and secure, how did he win?

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

So according to Trump the Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016 (letting him win) then somehow rigged the election in 2020 (while Trump was in power) and then completely forgot to rig it in 2024 (letting him win again). Do I got that right you silly MAGA dipshits?

Friday facts

ICE detain mother with cancer on way to chemotherapy—a legal U.S. resident.

She needs chemo every 21 days to stop growth—or she will die.

"Please help me by sharing!" daughter asks.
"I don't want to lose her because of this BS!"

Agents say had to detain her for "their safety."

The elderly woman remains locked up in ICE detention—despite lawyer providing both her legal & medical documentation proving her case.

Her daughter says that agents demand more proof that her mother needs chemotherapy before she is released.

Incident occurred outside an Allsup’s gas station in Chaparral, New Mexico—less than a mile across the Texas border.

Marilyn doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help save her mother's life.

🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens.

In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says.

And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing.

To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in.

That’s how panic starts.

And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.”

Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions.

They are supposed to de-escalate situations.

Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights.

When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.

@Michaeljos92972 Had a stat CT scan yesterday morning and still waiting for my oncologist to call me! The wait is cruel to us dealing with cancer. Good luck🙏🧡

NPR did learn that there's a trick if you are applying in person in Washington and do not want a passport with Trump's image: Choose extra pages. The State Department says the 250th commemorative passport is only available in the standard, 28-page book

Vaccines are so effective they created an entire generation of people who think the diseases they prevented weren’t a big deal.

I love and hate prepping someone for a deposition.

To make them understand how a deposition works, the first question I ask is, “Do you know what time it is?”

Nearly every single time, the person will either check his or her watch, or look up at a clock. Then, they will say “Yes, it is 10:30.”

At this point I just smile and shake my head. “No.” Then, I explain why their answer is wrong:

I asked if they knew the time. Not what time it was currently.

Me: “So what would your answer be then?”

Witness: “Yes.”

Me: “Wrong.”

They didn’t know the time, because they had to look at a watch or clock.

If you are ever deposed and do not have a bitch like me prepping you, remember this key: Listen to the question and answer only what is asked. And only what you actually know or recall.

No charge for this advice.

James Talarico: “We are here at Corruption HQ which is the office of Attorney General Ken Paxton where behind closed doors a sweetheart deal was given to a well-connected lawyer who abused an 8-year-old boy. We don’t need anymore pedophile protectors in our government. I filed a public information request to release the Hoffman Files, Ken Paxton just rejected it”

@BethMooreLPM Love these points. Thanks for sharing.

So if we don’t allow Athletes to bet on games that they have the ability to influence…

Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

@Michaeljos92972 Every time I move into an older home, we have that done. The first house that I did not do that in, my sons kept getting strep throat. Got the ducts cleaned and no more strep. Good luck.
