NEW: Evidence filed in a Colorado case reveals how ICE officers are arresting people without a warrant, which is illegal unless ICE determines the person is a flight risk. A man was dragged from his car after ICE showed him a warrant for someone else and refused to check his ID to see his identity.
The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
I have a strange feeling that the pathological liar is lying about not profiting from his campaign merch store.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · 2d agoUPDATE: Victor Marx says an anonymous out-of-state company made a “silly mistake” in a campaign finance filing listing him as the owner. Marx says he’s not the one profiting from his online campaign store selling merch and meetings with Marx for up to $1299.

Taxation without representation is no longer a metaphor. Structural minority rule, voter engineering, and weaponized governance are driving states to act as sovereign protectors—testing whether the American national bargain can still hold. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/the-coming...

Okay, that's a whole lot of bullshit coming from Scott. First, inflation never hit 22% under Biden. It maxed out at 7% in 2021, falling to 6.5 the next year, then 3.4 and 2.9. It didn't even hit 22% cumulatively, don't know where he's getting that figure.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoWELKER: Collins says Trump's Canada tariffs will increase costs on families. Is she right? SCOTT: Let's look back at Biden-- W: Wait. Trump has been in office for two years. Inflation was at 3% when Biden left office. It's at 3.4% right now. S: Joe Biden ... W: The Biden administration is over!
I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
Late on a Friday night, the kind of hour government agencies reserve for news they would rather not discuss, a nine-figure transaction appeared quietly in the federal procurement database. On August 7, 2026, the Department of Health and Human Services under the Trump administration obligated
"This isn’t just meant to stop liberals from engaging in anti-ICE activism. It’s meant to destroy trust among activists, who must now constantly worry about whether HSI has infiltrated them. It’s meant to drive out of public life anyone the administration disfavors." — @snipy.bsky.social

Rubio is busy planning an invasion and occupation of Cuba to avenge his parents having to flee Castro's Communist takeover. And he's not going to let the fact that his parents left two years earlier when Batista was running Cuba get in the way of his anti-Communist narrative.

"Ultimately, the gadflies don’t seem to actually understand how being a transgender athlete works. The idea that cisgender men like Enes and Royce would voluntarily undergo chemical castration to try to join the WNBA and make a minuscule rookie salary is farcical on its face."

I also want to add that every single time ICE has physically hurt me, they have grabbed me by my chest. Most of my femme friends have said the same. I will not be surprised if / when we find out about twisted sexual assaults conducted by ICE agents with these gloves.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w agoWow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
President Donald Trump has long claimed, without evidence, that noncitizen voting is rampant. His own unprecedented efforts to prosecute these voters show otherwise.
