Trump's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy

Everything is speeding up. It feels like we’re on a roller coaster at the top of that first big hill. Click click click click click click. It’s been ratcheting up for a very long time and now we can’t see the track in front of us anymore. We’re just waiting for the freefall.

Yesterday was a wild one. Since we’re all of a sudden at “uprising inside the overcrowded prison/black site where the government is starving people and denying them due process,” I wanted to sort it all out for anyone who didn’t catch it all.

Here’s what happened in the last 24 hours or so.

This is a good article about how to protest safely in the age of surveillance. Might be a good idea to bookmark it. Be safe out there. Take care of yourself and others.

Just describe the world as it is, I said yesterday. That’s never been more important in the history of this country. Their lies are piling up and choking us all.

the takedown

Some goons briefly detained a sitting US Senator from California in video that we’ve all seen by now. This feels like an event that’s breaking through to normies. This is good. We can use that. It’s disturbing, but let’s not forget two important pieces of this puzzle.

First, puppy killer and Nazi Barbie cosplayer Kristi Noem’s words at the press conference are pretty straightforward: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." First of all, there are no socialists in any positions of power. (We’d all be better off if there were! They just call anything they don’t like socialism. If they had a bad sandwich at a deli they’d call it a socialist plot against food.) She is straight up admitting this is a hostile takeover, an invasion, and extrajudicial mission of regime change. They are not there just to “keep the peace” which by the way isn’t needed in the first place, they are there for revenge. To take over. To punish. To kidnap. They are mad because California and Los Angeles don’t like them and didn’t vote for them. Everything is red and blue for them. The color blue makes this people see vengeance.

Second, the DHS statement is just so clearly bullshit. It’s a real ‘believe what we tell you not what your eyes see’ moment. Look at this.

Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre…

Okay, that’s like, your opinion. The whole press conference was political theatre. That’s my opinion!

…without identifying himself…

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla,” said Senator Alex Padilla, who was wearing a US Senate polo at the time.

…as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.

Lunged? That just did not happen. None of the goons had to move fast or even break a sweat because at no point was Padilla moving quickly, or lunging, or threatening.

Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands.

You can see them pushing and grabbing him, but none of them are saying anything. He also isn’t really even fighting back. He could have chosen to get violent and really escalate things. He did not. They still threw him down and cuffed him as soon as he was out of the room.

It gets worse for the DHS lie. Padilla says he was escorted into the building by someone from the National Guard or FBI. He went through screening just to be in the building. He sat listening for a few minutes before asking his question. He didn’t barge in. He didn’t lunge.

@SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.

He was trying to ask a question. The only attacker was Noem. His question was about the lies and attacks the regime is directing at Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass. That’s important. But I guess when you’re doing a performative speech that’s full of lies, someone asking a question might feel like an attack. That’s a you problem, Kristi.

ice is out of control and only getting worse

ICE has rescinded their accountability policy, or to put it more plainly: “Agents are no longer constrained by the need to justify their warrantless arrests.” Yeah, that’s bad bad bad. So they’re rounding up people from taco trucks, strawberry fields, restaurants, foster care, meat packing plants, construction sites, schools and homeless shelters. Local police are joining up in record numbers. Scary.

They no longer need to even pretent to care about who they’re arresting, why they’re arresting them, how they’re treating them, or the fact that because they’re grabbing so many people, they’ve run out of places to put them in many places. These are compounding problems that this regime has not thought through and don’t care to.

There are even worse situations at other detention centers. At Delaney Hall in New Jersey, the ICE facility run by one of the country’s largest private prison companies, where Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested after trying to tour the facility, which he had the legal authority to do despite being denied, had an uprising last night. About 50 detainees pushed down a wall of a dorm room because their meals were late. One detainee said people were often served small cartons of expired milk for breakfast. After no food for twenty hours and then fed two pieces of bread, they pushed the wall down. Tear gas was used inside. Today it was announced that four people escaped.

In Lynn, Massachusetts ICE arrested a green card holder and before bringing him to the detention center in Burlington, they made a pit stop at a cemetery where they took off their vests (where the cameras are) and beat him. Even after they saw his ID they told him it could be fake and said they’d work to get it revoked.

That Burlington office is a truly depraved place. It’s been described as “abysmal” and “unsanitary.” It’s a field office where agents usually just perform admin work. It was never supposed to be a detention center, but now it is. Now they’re detaining people there. The people there are hungry, cold, and terrified. They are sleeping on concrete floors with a single mylar blanket, like you see draped over marathon runners after the race. No privacy. No beds. No medical care. Inhumane.

they’re not happy with the numbers

They are trying to work as fast as possible to break this country down until it’s whiter, more Christian, and more miserable for anyone who doesn’t lick the boot. They said so. Tom Homan, who is a bitch: “I’m not happy with the numbers. We need to find these people. We’re going to probably increase operations in sanctuary cities, because we have to.”

oh my god he admit it

Trump seemed to admit that his policies are hurting the economy. And yet they keep happening. “Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs,” he said on Truthsocial.

The same guy who thinks “groceries” is an old-fashioned term thinks MS-13 dudes are applying for jobs picking produce or cleaning hotel rooms. Grandpa, those are YOUR policies! It’s like he got about halfway to realizing that that the policy is indeed going to contribute to the destruction of various industries but then pivoted to “it’s Joe Biden’s fault!” He’s as lazy as he is stupid.

Some Republicans have had enough. They see these kidnappings as problems — at least politically — and they’re calling on ICE to focus on “convicted criminal aliens” and not just haphazardly stuffing human beings in the back of unmarked vans. I don’t think they should do any of that! They admit that this grab-and-go strategy makes everyone less safe as they divert resources from everywhere else.

Stephen Miller’s vicious policy and instructions to raid Home Depot and 7-11 begs the question: who’s really in charge here?

This is the same problem DOGE ran into. The whole premise of their platform is bullshit. It was eventualy going to collapse in on itself. All the lies are finally coming to a head.

moon’s haunted…?

Is there a soldier on the moon? No, this is a serious question. Because the U.S. Secretary of the Army said there is. Is he insane, or is there a secret moonbase? Both?

joebidennnn69

It’s just sooo strange how everyone who gets arrested for possessing or distributing CSAM (child sexual abuse material) is a Republican. Probably just a coincedence. I mean, they’re here to protect kids, of course. Maybe they just don’t know what the word protect means. Rep. RJ May of North Carolina reportedly used the incredible screen name joebidennnn69 to do just that. No notes on the name.

He is accused of “exchang[ing] 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts… Prosecutors said they also investigated whether May used a fake name to travel to Colombia three times after finding videos on his laptop of him allegedly having sex with three women. An agent from the Department of Homeland Security testified the women appeared to be underage and were paid.” His defense is literally someone else could have used my wi-fi! Okay, loser.

war at home depot, war in iran

Remember Maureed Dowd’s infamous Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk column from 2016? It was stupid then and it’s stupid now. Trump on the trail promised to end all wars immediately upon election and be a peacemaker. Another lie that worked. To no one’s surprise, he has not ended any wars and now we have a new one between Israel and Iran. Israel of course using all the weaponry they got from us. Trump pulled out of the Iran deal. Another disasterous decision. World leaders knows he’s a weak leader. Four weeks ago, Trump said: “I will tell you that the world is a much safer place right now. And I think it will be even safer in two or three weeks.” Yeah, no.

another L in court

It’s been appealed and surely headed to the Supreme Court, but a US District Judge said Trump calling the National Guard into California was illegal. This fucking guy has a losing in court kink. We can kinkshame this once.

one good thing to end this thing

Around LA, there have been huge protests outside any hotel that ICE has been staying at. They’ve been working. Multiple hotels have told ICE they’re not welcome. More of this.
