The deployment of ICE, National Guard and Marines in LA—along with the prosecution of protesters—was never about public safety. It was manufactured propaganda, and now ICE is being exposed for it. Records show they lied in their testimonies and prosecutors are now facing “embarrassing” dismissals.

After the Paramount-Skydance merger, CBS will now officially become state media for the Trump regime. Brendan Carr, Chairman of the FCC, said the government is placing “an ombudsman in place for two years,” which he described as “basically a bias monitor that will report directly to the President.”

I believe this is from @50150.bsky.social ❤️✊🏼 Let’s do everything we can to fight! Churches are stepping into politics too! When you see private jets, sprawling mansions, and mega-buildings… maybe it’s time they started contributing their fair share too. #onlytheshiestygetrich

The political landscape is exhausting when you don’t have the right people at the helm. Thank you 2016 for throwing us into the first layer of hell and the propaganda machine for the Lottery 👹 #shirleyJackson #endofdays #twlightzone #ignoranceisadisease #MAGAneedstogo #dumptrump

The real reason for Trump’s AI Action Plan is for AI to serve “as digital brownshirts, tasked with enforcing ideological purity. They would be used to generate ‘authoritative’ but false texts for schools, government agencies, and courtrooms, automating the production of state-sanctioned propaganda.”

Jeff Bezos systematically dismantled the Washington Post. Now, he’s looking to purchase Condé Nast and CNBC. Paramount & CBS have bent the knee. Tech billionaires are manipulating their platforms’ algorithms to favor fascists. NPR & PBS have been defunded. This is state propaganda in the making.

Relatives of an unarmed man who died as he was being detained by police last year say they recently viewed body-camera footage of the incident that showed Alabama officers kneeling on the man’s neck while he repeated “I can’t breathe.”

We need to continue to fight and not hide behind fear, bribes, wealth, and ignorance. Those that don’t have the need to follow the lower classes, the hurting and those that make up a vast majority of our country need to leave or check their job description. For the people, by the people #democracy
