(also, straight up - if they ever tell you to disavow or go to prison? You disavow. Stop being fucking morons man; words are weapons, and you use them as necessary. These nazis have no problem lying to you, why would you pick not lying to them as the hill to die on?

This is serious man. We're headed for some shit you don't believe is even possible right now. They may well start locking ppl up for simply not AGREEING that the left is terrorism incarnate.)

And Trump claimed again that he doesn't even know who they are.

"His private discord post"

My brother in christ if a corporate app or service's literal only hard security feature is that it uses SSL it simply is not private.

How buying a T-shirt led to government monitoring

Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury, detection, and reprisal.

"Fox News has a long article today claiming — albeit with wildly conflicting evidence — that Kash Patel’s job is in jeopardy. One of Kash’s crimes, according to the article, is firing Brian Driscoll and others in such a way that exposes Trump to have to sit for a deposition:" Lawsuit Alleges that Laura Loomer Illegally Got Ghislaine Maxwell's Prosecutor Fired - emptywheel https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/15/lawsuit-alleges-that-laura-loomer-illegally-got-ghislaine-maxwells-prosecutor-fired/
Lawsuit Alleges that Laura Loomer Illegally Got Ghislaine Maxwell's Prosecutor Fired - emptywheel

The stated hypothesis in a new lawsuit for why DOJ illegally fired Jim Comey's daughter is that Laura Loomer made it happen. DOJ might have to choose whether to adopt that hypothesis or explain that Maurene Comey's continued employment at SDNY would make it harder for Todd Blanche to silence Ghislaine Maxwell.

Hey Dems, this is your chance to serve all the nation:

Call a damn "No Kings" shutdown, when a "No Kings" shutdown is due!

"...
Trump isn’t just trying to cut the odd government program or zero out some domestic budget line items.

Those are the stakes in play; they are rather more consuming than the future of some health care subsidies.
If the Democrats can make that clear to the public, there’s every chance that a majority of voters will say: Yes, indeed, the Democrats precipitated this shutdown.
And good for them.

Think Big for a Change, Democrats: Call This the “No Kings” Shutdown.

The consultants will tell you that taking this stand against Trump is a political loser. But this time is different.

I've been working on #climate issues for years, but every now and then I step back & think how unbelievable (and sad) it is that scientists have shown for decades we're literally changing — in a bad way — the climate of the entire planet and yet society refuses to deal with that existential threat.
