I dunno, I can imagine a LOT of corruption.

A donut receipt is an alibi. Just saying.

Gaetz is a loyalty test for the Senate, to see if they'll really let Trump be a dictator. If he gets blocked, expect calls for senators to resign.

He's rich, not a branch of government.

Kind of curious where he gets the funding for that board.

Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.

Poland's military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.

The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

Coffee, tea, and everything you're wearing right now.

Someone needs to ask him who he's looking for. They've already said in interviews that they were going to target nationals from Haiti and Nicaragua first because those would be the easiest to round up and deport large numbers to due to logistics. The problem is, that's targeting people based on their nationality, and that's against federal law.

The mass deportation program is going to be a horrible cluster fuck. They don't really have the legal standing to implement it, but they're going to try anyway. Which is going to lead to even more human rights abuses. Which is going to lead to more violence. And a whole fuck ton of court cases and legal battles. Ending with mass deportation not actually happening, but probably thousands of people hurt or killed. A whole lot of lawyers getting way more rich than anyone has any right to. All so we can waste lives, money and brain cells on a moron with a bad idea.

They won't shut it all down, just localized areas in order to 'protect the safety of officers operating in the area'.

Probably best to stick to coordinating movements to isolate and neutralize paid provocateurs and provide secure wellness stations, while maintaining a recording of EVERYTHING done by officials. Remember to broadcast everything, not just record. That way recordings can't be seized.

At some point they'll start shutting down internet access to prevent recording of their actions. But that will probably coincide to when protest isn't the most efficient of methods any more.
