@JamesWNeal You're on target! Apparently he went only so far as to say the posting came from the WH.

So Tim Scott said only that Trump should remove the racist Obama video, but never suggested that Trump posted it. Perhaps he fears (knows?) that he could be next if he crosses this demented, vile, nauseating subspecies. #TimScott #racist

@Nazani Good point! Come to think of it, not just the death cards but DHS and its entire team is a waste of money!

From The Intercept:
"FEDERAL AGENTS LEFT BEHIND “DEATH CARDS” AFTER CAPTURING IMMIGRANTS
ICE agents dropped customized ace of spades playing cards, recalling a practice by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War."
And we all know how Vietnam Nam ended! #ICE #VietNam #deathcards

@wdlindsy Since we're always trying to economize on words when posting, may I suggest that in the last line you omit the word "public."

When the Mind Rewrote Aging – Kaushal Kishore

A group of elderly men, leaning heavily on canes, entered a retreat. A week later, they walked out unaided. No medication. No surgery. Just a small switch flipped in their minds. This remarkable transformation was observed during a groundbreaking experiment conducted in 1979 by Harvard psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer. Known as the “Counterclockwise” study, it challenged long-held beliefs about aging by asking a bold question:…

@bweller they're just praying that we don't see the hypocrisy.

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"

WOW.

RawStory: In a threatening and odd fundraising email for President Donald Trump, MAGA donors were warned that anyone who doesn't respond to a survey validating they are American citizens would be tracked down by ICE.

The request for money — and threat — was sent by the Never Surrender, Inc PAC this week and had the subject line "Are you an illegal alien?" The Daily Beast reported. The move was questioned and criticized as a bizarre and unusual appeal to request funding.

“I reached out last week about my Citizens Only Survey,” the email said. “Your file says you’re a top MAGA patriot... But my records to my survey STILL say: RESPONSE PENDING. Don’t tell me, you’re an Illegal Alien?!? That cannot be true! This is your FINAL MOMENT to Prove me wrong—please. Are you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?”

I was so excited and overjoyed when I saw the Daily Beast headline
"ICE Barbie Throws Stephen Miller Under the Bus"
Then I remembered it was just an idiom. I wasn't meant to take it literally. What a letdown!

@chosennj@threads.netThanks so much for sharing AaronParnas'news that "the Trump administration is beginning to throw Kristie Noem under the bus." Brilliant! Fantastic news! Let's celebrate. . .what?. . .no. . . Just an idiom? Disappointing! #Noem #ICE #MN

@LostCityMagic As the Navaho language helped save democracy during WWII, perhaps the Cherokee language can save it today. #Cherokee

@ziibiing.com And now that apparently a non-judicial warrant will get any ICEman into your house, that won't help any way!

@bweller thanks Becca. I am so weary of those people who say "please don't call me Nazi or fascist.You don't see concentration camps here. Nobody is killing people in concentration camps."
No,but separating families, killing individuals happened before warehouse murders began. I'd rather not wait to nip that in the bud!

@HelenBranswell If Dr. Milhoan, the new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, were to push for individual choice as to the use of the polio vaccine, I know what my next step would be. As the daughter of a polio victim whose legs were totally paralyzed at the age of 2, I would switch a chunk of my small savings to companies that can manufacture iron lungs. I am sure I will make my fortune.

New footage has come out from a different angle that shows Alex had both hands on the ground, was blinded by pepper spray, and an agent had already taken his LEGAL weapon before the first shooter fired. Then the second shooter mag dumped a few seconds later.
