Under a normal timeline, I would've definitely laugh this off as dumb and paranoid bullshit. But it's clear that this dystopian administration is using strong arm/mob style intimidation tactics to threaten/harass/intimidate dissent. Basically they can violate our privacy, looking through our online history, and arrest ANY ONE of us that say anything remotely negative about Dony the turd. And they may also plant false flag/evidence to justify arresting us.

It's frightening that this is looking more and more likely to happen in this country.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/tyler-robinson-set-face-formal-charges-shooting-death/story?id=125614396

Investigators noted that Robinson's mom told them that her son allegedly began having a relationship with his roommate, who is transitioning, and had begun leaning to the left more politically, becoming "more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented," but the document does not indicate the relevance of those stances or whether Kirk's remarks about those issues were a motivating factor.

Full text message between him and his roommate (who Tyler is allegedly dating and who is in transition).

With the direction this country is heading toward (spiraling down the drain to the gutter), it feels like a death sentence to stay in Red states (especially if you're member of marginalized/vulnerable demographics). Of course easier said than done, because moving is not easy and clearly not everyone has the resources to do so (unfortunately).

Basically, there's far more going on and a lot of unanswered questions (than we realize). Several Dems are requesting the documents to be released. And Belle think they potentially are able to do so, BUT only IF they play hardball... But then again, do Dems have the courage to do so?

I'm one of the biggest critic of Dems there is. But it's 100% crucial that we do all we can to dismantle and disempowered the GOP and MAGA cult. So voting in Midterm is the bare minimum that everyone should do at this point.

My biggest fear is: people having unrealstic expectation for Midterm; and then get mad that things don't get fix right away; go back to blaming Dems and allowing GOP to suckered them AGAIN. It's a vicious endless cycle.

To be clear: I'm not at all saying we shouldn't vote in the Midterm (we absolutely should go out there to vote). And this is NOT another post where I'm blaming the Dems.

What I'm saying is: to NOT have any kind of unrealistic expectation - falsely thinking that if Dems won seats in the Midterm, the "BUB" will somehow magically do away with. That isn't going to happen, unfortunately. Dems simply don't have veto-proof supermajority in both houses to override Trump's veto. So we're stuck with this for at least 10 years.... Or - at the earliest - until the next election (assuming Anericans aren't stupid enough to elect GOP, again...). Then we have ro consider the fact that GOP may rig the Midterm...

We're in for an extremely long and painful ride.

So yes, still go out there and VOTE. Just don't have unrealstic expectation and think it's a magic wand that will solve it overnight.

Every single dem voted against it. Of all problems to blame dems on this is 100% absolutely not one of them.

Republicans are claiming the bill is awful and then immediately turn around and vote for it anyway. This is entirely on them.

My point was: it doesn't matter if Dems are "voting" against it (token gesture). At the end of the day, they still go home content with the fact that they and their rich donors still benefit heavily from it. Hence why Dems are useless at enacting any systemic change.

Lmao. He's desperately trying to cover up the fact that his "strikes" was nowhere near as successful as he claimed

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5369613-white-house-congress-classified-information-iran-leak/

The Trump administration is planning to limit the amount of classified information it shares with Congress moving forward amid uproar over an internal preliminary assessment that found U.S. strikes on Irans nuclear facilities may not have been as devastating as the president claimed.

Despite assertions from the administration that the strikes set the countrys nuclear capabilities back by years, an initial intelligence assessment obtained by some media outlets suggested the damage was more limited, setting the program back only by a few months.

Isn't support for boots on the ground basically zero among both politicians and civilians? Trump shouldn't have carried out these strikes without Congressional approval--or maybe at all, depending on what intelligence you believe--but is it actually likely we'll get drawn into a war? Iran doesn't have the capability to strike the US directly, and all the stuff I'm seeing on the news suggests Iran is isolated geopolitically. China and Russia are unlikely to come to bat for them.

Sorry I should've said the chance is far higher than before that we're going to go to war against Iran. Not an absolute fact, but it's dangerously likely..

Hopefully Dony will get impeached and some one more level headed will try to lower the temperature.

Yeah my bad. It was 100% unintentional - I had no intention of directng that at Jewish people knowingly. I just didn't know of the historical context of that phrase and how It was used to demonized Jewish people. I want Jews and Muslims to live in peace.

Maybe you should curate your feed a little better from "Suppressed News" because you have been spreading misinformation. A lot. Yeah, missiles may have hit, but when I can instantly identify a major error, IE: "They hit the Israeli stock exchange," it's contributing to major misinformation racing across social media and makes it harder for us to know what's actually going on.

It just a very dynamic situation and details can be spotty but the event did happen (even if the exact location may be wrong). That why I post it to keep people up to date bc MSM is extremely slow at covering this.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement on its latest attacks against Israel.

In a statement carried by Iranian news agencies, the IRGC said its powerful and manoeuvrable Fatah missiles broke through Israels missile defense shield, sending a message of Irans authority to the rival country.
It said the missile attack showed we have gained complete control over the skies of the occupied territories and that its residents are completely defenceless against Iranian attacks.
