In 1964, the New York Times editorial board called a civil rights anti-segregation walkout of New York City public schools "violent," "reckless," and "demanding the impossible."

Racism.

The answer to why America can't have nice things is always racism.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

I agree with you on the drip.

They are not just hiding names.

They are calibrating the dosage.

Show you an island.

Nothing breaks.

Show you flight logs.

Nothing breaks.

Show you "suicide in custody" under cameras that magically stop working.

Nothing breaks.

After that, the content almost does not matter.

It can be satanic rituals, child torture, bio labs, blackmail, whatever version you believe.

The core experiment is always the same:

How much horror can you watch and still go back to work on Monday.

It is not just about normalizing depravity.

It is about teaching you something deeper:

That nothing you learn will ever change who rules you.

You are being trained to live with cognitive dissonance as a permanent condition:

Yes, your elites rape and traffic children.

Yes, your intelligence services run cover.

Yes, your media launders it as gossip.

And yes, life goes on, stocks go up, elections continue, the same surnames stay on top.

Once that lesson sinks in, mass surveillance and open authoritarianism are not a shock.

They feel like a natural continuation of a world where evil is public and untouchable.

1984 was about torture in a basement.

Our version is softer:

Reality shows, late-night jokes, "leaks", FOIA drops, redacted pages.

You are not beaten into submission in Room 101.

You are entertained into numbness on every platform.

For me the key point is this:

The drip is not only testing outrage.

It is measuring obedience.

They want to know:

Can you know this and still pay your taxes,

Still send your kids into their schools and armies,

Still treat their courts and ballots as legitimate.

If the answer is yes, then they do not fear exposure.

They have discovered something more powerful than secrecy:

A population that has seen the monster and decided to live with it.

That is the real Black Mirror.

Largest protest in NYC I’ve seen since BLM. Unofficial NYPD count is somewhere between 5-10K. Marching to Washington Square Park.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.

ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.

[انوس @anoosify]

I’ve experienced the IDF firsthand, so I won’t soften this: they are far worse than ICE. But anyone paying attention can see the trajectory. ICE is being molded in their image.

This is the IDF’s playbook. Arrest begins with humiliation. You’re blindfolded and restrained immediately. You’re beaten, spat on, stripped, mocked for sport. If you’re “lucky,” you’re thrown into a cell instead of killed during the arrest. No bathroom. No privacy. No dignity. No humanity. You sit there not knowing if your family is safe or if they even know where you are.

For years, Palestinians have warned the world: mobilize early, because what’s tested on us never stays with us. That warning wasn’t symbolic. You’re watching it arrive here in real time, in 4K. License plate surveillance. Drones overhead. Detention based on how you look. Different uniforms, same logic.

It’s all connected and it always was.

Please explain why these agents attacked this person without giving any verbal warning whatsoever, or how any of this relates to immigration enforcement.

The real, bipartisan stock trading bans bill is already READY. Do not buy this scam bill being put forward by the wealthiest members of Congress.

If Luna won’t move the discharge petition’s text, then we can start a clean one next week.

The majority of members and Americans support a clean stock trading ban. We have the votes on it.

Don’t fold now!

🚨 Breaking: Iran International reports that the number of Iranians massacred by the regime has risen to 12,000 in just 48 hours.

This is the greatest number of people massacred per day since the Holocaust.

🚨 AMAZON JUST TURNED YOUR DOORBELL INTO A POLICE SURVEILLANCE WEAPON

Amazon-owned Ring just quietly partnered with Flock - a license plate tracking system already used by police and ICE - meaning footage from your front door can now feed into nationwide surveillance networks.

Flock has already been used to track immigrant communities and prosecute women over abortion access. Now your Ring camera is part of the pipeline.

No warrant. No vote. No warning.

You didn’t install a doorbell.
You installed government spyware.

Did anyone actually agree to this?

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained, threatened, and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only, he refused to prove his citizenship.

In the video, agents immediately escalate to physical force. A man stands with his hands up, repeatedly saying, “I’m not doing anything,” while agents shove him, force him against his car, and begin an illegal search.

No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

An agent falsely claims, “That’s assault,” while they are actively assaulting a U.S. citizen who is complying and not resisting.

Moments later, the agent admits the truth, saying, “And all we needed was your ID,” openly acknowledging this was an unlawful detention based solely on a refusal to produce identification.

That is not legal.

The short agent then threatens, “Don’t move or you will be fucking tased.”

The man calmly responds, “I’m not moving.”

The short agent escalates again, snarling, “You’re a fucking bitch, and you’re going to learn the hard way.”

That is a direct threat of violence against a U.S. citizen whose hands are already behind his back.

They dig through his pockets anyway, repeating, “I just asked you for an ID,” as if that excuses violating the Fourth Amendment.

Then, in a moment that exposes the entire operation, the short agent announces, “He has a gun on him! Wouldn’t you look at that.”

As if Minnesota is not a conceal-carry state.

The man immediately responds, “A fully registered firearm. Because I’m a U.S. citizen.”

The short agent casually tosses the firearm onto the car after removing the magazine, demonstrating reckless handling of a legally owned weapon.

By this point, they have removed his wallet, yet, still do not check his ID, and still continue the arrest.

The man states the obvious, “Unlawful arrest.”

The short agent replies, “We’ll see about that.”

When asked what crime he committed, the short agent deflects, saying, “We’re going to talk about that when we get in the car,” knowing full well he is on camera and cannot articulate a lawful reason.

Only then do agents begin changing their story, claiming the man “reached for something.”

The man immediately corrects them, he reached for his whistle.

ICE agents already admitted the detention was because he refused to show ID. They did not know he was carrying a firearm until after the illegal search. Now they are retroactively inventing justification.

The video contradicts every word they say.

This wasn’t law enforcement. This was intimidation, retaliation, and a fishing expedition carried out by armed agents.

If not carry papers, as a U.S. citizen, gets you assaulted and arrested, then this isn’t law enforcement. It’s a police state.

.@Target, why is ICE continuing to show up at your stores, specifically?

Due to severe Western media censorship on speaking against the Israeli genocide Gaza, NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair found a smart way to publicly denounce Israel’s genocide.

America did not lose in Vietnam because it lacked bombs.
It had more than enough.

It did not lose because it lacked allies.
It bought plenty.

It lost because the story it told about itself
could not survive contact with our reality.

You cannot call yourself a defender of freedom
while burning children alive.

You cannot call yourself a force for stability
while turning whole regions into graveyards.

The Global South should understand this.

The so-called rules based order
is written by the arsonist,
after the fire.

Vietnam exposed that.
Palestine exposes that.
Iraq exposes that.

Every ruined city on a distant continent
is another chapter in the same manual.

The lesson is not that America is hypocritical.
The lesson is that the hypocrisy is the strategy.

Filming and documenting ICE activities and arrests is the most American thing you could possibly do. The pinnacle of First Amendment protected action.

The program worked flawlessly and saved taxpayers time and money. The Trump Administration killed it because a couple well-connected tax prep companies wanted them to. So be sure to thank them when you’re shelling out money for private tax prep services next year.
