A post went viral this week calling people who can't visualize "furniture."

I was one of the first 21 people ever documented with aphantasia. I've spent a decade studying it, building a global community around it, and learning from the researchers who named it.

You are not furniture. Here's what that post gets wrong.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Bryan Steil just acknowledged that there will be an additional process that all women will have to go through if they want to vote after changing their name due to marriage under the Save Act.

“It will look a lot like if an individual wanted to go and sell their car. If you have a different name than what was on your car, there is a simple, straightforward process for that.”

Undoubtedly this will lead to less women voting, and most women vote Democrat.

This is the real reason Republicans want to pass this law. They want to silence women.

Yesterday, Greg Bovino accused me of lying for posting a video showing Border Patrol agents clashing with U.S. citizens outside a Minneapolis high school.

And while I wasn’t lying, after reading Greg’s statement, reviewing the footage again, and comparing it with the school’s own account, I realized I owe everyone a correction, plus some much-needed context.

I originally said “Border Patrol agents were filmed assaulting U.S. citizens outside a Minneapolis high school.”

After considering Greg’s statement, I’d like to clarify…

“Border Patrol agents were filmed assaulting SCHOOL OFFICIALS on the property of a Minneapolis high school.”

Greg was quick to point out that agents apprehended their suspect NEAR a school…

Which is helpful, actually. Because that means they were never originally on school property.

Therefore, after the apprehension, agents didn’t leave the area. Instead, they continued to surround the school, and THEN entered the nearby high school’s property, during the school’s dismissal.

This aligns perfectly with the school’s statement:

“Armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday.”

School officials then attempted to get the agents to leave so students could exit safely.

According to one school official:

“The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him… and he knocked me down.”

With all that new context, the video becomes extremely clear.

• The men speaking to the agents are school officials asking Border Patrol to leave school grounds.
• An agent shoves one staff member in the chest.
• He pushes the agent’s hand away.
• The agent runs at him and assaults him again.
• The agent continues to escalate the situation, shoving ANOTHER staff member beside him.
• Staff members attempt to de-escalate.
• Another agent charges in, grabs the original staff member, and throws him to the ground.
• More agents rush in. Chaos follows.

Greg then claims, “We saw no students.”

Which is… a fascinating assertion, considering this happened on school property during DISMISSAL, the video clearly shows students and staff watching, and then running away coughing after pepper spray was deployed by one of his agents, while a staff member yells for students to get back so they don’t get hurt.

It’s also an interesting claim because Greg, himself, is clearly visible in the video, in direct line of sight of the students and staff, as he is talking to a school official.

So, it turns out that Greg Bovino was the one lying, once again.

And if sharing the actions of Border Patrol agents is what Greg calls “villainizing” them, then the solution is simple… stop committing violence.

Correction issued.

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week.

None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

@SpeakerJohnson @POTUS Get off your knees.

@ThePatriotOasis Yeah, but the base of each party has flipped. The base of the democrats switched to republicans during the civil rights unrest in the South. Same for the base of the republicans.

@DHSgov @ICEgov The fact that you must post this shows how wrong your tactics are.
