Florida arrests a man who played Jesus in a church Easter program to have evidence the government persecutes Christians.

The man had no criminal record, but was an immigrant.

The state turned "Jesus" over to ICE to be sent to wherever the Trump regime renditions people these days.

Now Fox News can say the government turned "Jesus" over to be crucified if he ends up in an El Salvadore hell camp.

Hasan Piker, one of the largest progressive voices online, was detained by CBP for two hours & grilled over his political beliefs.

💥“Do you like Hamas? Do you support Hamas?”
💥 “They tried to intimidate me, but I’m a stubborn piece of sh*t,” Piker said. Political speech isn’t a crime—yet.

Twitch streamer Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics

They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently, Piker said. His detention comes at a time when the government is cracking down on press freedom and free speech.

“It’s Altman’s spin on ‘they make you sick to sell you the cure.’ Create a machine that turns the internet into unreadable shit, spend years trying figuring out how to make it too addicting to quit, and then when we’re hooked, argue we need to kill anonymity online to fix it. And not only does Altman own the internet enshittifier company, look at that, he also owns the anonymity killing company too.” https://www.garbageday.email/p/sam-altman-wants-your-eyeballs

US Attorney General Pam Bondi approved a $400M jet gift from Qatar last month. Fun fact about Pam Bondi: she used to work as a lobbyist for Qatar, and made $114 thousand a month doing it.

"Not a single international #cargo ship at the #PortOfSeattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from #China. We’re screwed." - Lizzy Tish‬

I’m a fan of sources too. When I tried multiple searches it only brought me to a random Facebook post (which isn’t ever trustworthy imo).

It does seems like a possible scenario, and could be applicable before long, but any live shipping websites showed nothing like this.

@kevinrns Back in 1980s, Greenpeace extremists behaved like todays Climate Warriors. Nothing was too extreme to get their message out> They took one of their Rainbow Warrior like ships into a shipping canal (lock) and dropped an anchor chain across the doors, damaging the locks. It would be months if they were unable to be repaired. We were due to travel that way and were rerouted in a Navy ship

Huge decline at L.A. port is a hit to truckers—and a stark warning of coming tariff damage
