It isn’t “let’s take weapons away from@everyone but the police and the military”. Paradoxically, most of the people endorsing this shit also think the police and the military need massive reform.
1st amendment arrests have begun in Minnesota, now anyone who disagrees with any part of what ICE is doing can be detained. This administration will stop at nothing until they fully control what free speech is.
Wow! Raskin just sent Kash Patel this letter. It’s umm… interesting. Read it twice. 👀
The House Judiciary minority says Patel has handed out more than $1 million in “bonus” payments to agents on his Director’s Advisory Team and his security detail. The letter calls it a personal slush fund.
Here’s the mechanism. Federal pay is capped by statute. The letter alleges Patel routed money around that cap. Nearly $8,000 per agent, every two-week pay period. Some collected five in a row. Roughly $40,000 each.
Then the accounts ran dry. Raskin says some of the payments bounced.
Who got paid? The letter points to the unit NOTUS reported as the “Payback Squad.” And it ties the cash to silence, alleging agents were polygraphed over whether they helped cover up Patel’s drinking.
Now the other column. The agents he fired include an FBI Medal of Valor recipient, the official who led the Jan 6 law enforcement response, a Marine combat veteran cut weeks after his wife died of cancer, and a counterintelligence unit that tracked Iranian threats.
Reward the loyal. Purge the rest.
Raskin wants every bonus, every authorization, and every legal memo on whether this broke federal law. Deadline June 29.
Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents attempted to force their way into the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis.
That is not a misunderstanding.
That is a foreign government facility, protected under international law.
In the video, a consulate staff member rushes to the door and clearly tells the agent he cannot enter.
The agent responds by threatening him, saying, “If you touch me, I will take you.”
Which is wild, because the staff member isn’t advancing… he’s standing in the doorway of a sovereign diplomatic building, doing his job.
The staff member then says, “This is the consulate. This is a foreign government consulate. You cannot enter.”
He then says, “Okay. Close the door, bye!”
And locks it.
Let’s be very clear about what just happened…
ICE agents tried to unlawfully enter a foreign nation’s consulate, then threatened to arrest a foreign government employee for stopping them.
That is a serious violation of international law, diplomatic norms, and basic sovereignty.
It’s one thing to terrorize immigrants inside U.S. immigration courts… It’s another thing entirely to threaten another country’s citizens on their own sovereign ground.
If a foreign government sent armed agents to a U.S. consulate and tried to abduct Americans…
The U.S. would treat it as a hostile act.
This is Kash Patels FBI agents trying to find evidence after the Mass shooting at Browns University.
No metal detectors, no dogs, just aimlessly kicking snow looking for a Mass shooter that’s still at large…….
Let’s hope they find a magical map showing where the shooter is.
GEORGE SANTOS

Trump commuted his sentence after just three months.

Ross Ulbricht was sentenced to two life sentences +40 years.
He was the founder of Silk Road which sold millions of dollars of illegal drugs, including fentanyl, which Trump has deemed a “weapon of mass destruction.
Trump pardoned him anyways.
Q: Is Judge Luttig right?
A: 100%. Outside America, the entire world is aware that we elected the most corrupt & incompetent sociopath in history— TWICE!— and they cannot and should not forgive us. Our reputation as honest and educated people has been destroyed. We did this.
Epstein is warning against endorsing Trump. Epstein. Fucking Jeffry Epstein was saying “don’t do that, he’s bad.” This is like the mob saying “that guy is so bad, even we don’t want him.”
🚨BREAKING: Tom Homan claims fewer women are being raped and trafficked because the border is “closed”… while standing next to a man who bragged about sexually assaulting women, was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein, hosted beauty pageants and modeling competitions to give wealthy predators access to young girls, and built a modeling agency so he could do the same with his own parties.
And let’s be crystal clear: most sex trafficking in the U.S. does not involve border crossings at all. It happens here, to women and girls already inside the country, because predators exist everywhere… including in positions of power.
So spare us the fake concern. You don’t get to invoke rape and trafficking as a talking point while defending, enabling, and standing beside men who embody it.
This isn’t about protecting women. It’s about manufacturing fear and dumping the blame on people fleeing violence, instead of confronting the real problem…
The predators are already here. They’re wealthy, well-connected, embedded in exploitative systems, and the government enables them, protects them, and excuses their crimes.
🚨This is one of the most disturbing videos of ICE abuse I’ve seen.
In Minnesota, ICE agents handcuffed a pregnant woman, forced her onto her stomach, and put their full body weight and knees on her, refusing to let her get up.
In the video, you can hear the crowd screaming over and over that she is pregnant. They plead with the agents to stop. The woman is not resisting, not moving, not a threat. It doesn’t matter. The agents ignore them, continue pointing pepper spray at the crowd, and one agent even shoves a woman backward, assaulting her simply for speaking up.
People keep begging them to let the pregnant woman off her stomach, to stop putting weight on her body. The agents refuse. The crowd grows louder and more desperate, because they are watching someone who could lose her pregnancy, right in front of them, at the hands of ICE agents.
Only after the crowd begins throwing snowballs is the pregnant woman able to get off her stomach.
And then it gets worse.
The ICE agents begin pepper spraying the crowd. One agent drags the pregnant woman by the arm while she is still helpless and restrained. Pepper spray fills the air, hitting bystanders and the pregnant woman herself as she lies on the ground beneath them.
This is not “law enforcement.”
This is cruelty.
This is reckless endangerment.
This is state violence carried out in public, on camera, against a pregnant woman who posed no threat.
If this is what they’re willing to do while being filmed, imagine what happens when no one is watching.
JUAN ORLANDO HERNÁNDEZ

Trump pardoned him.

@DHSgov None of those things have a damn thing to do with undocumented people. They have quite a lot to do with the billionaires and their pet politicians. You’re owned. How’s that boot taste?
