So much money laundering.
MINNESOTA: “A vacant private prison offered to sell to the state for $75 million… One year later Trump used taxpayer funds to buy it from (BRENTWOOD, TN-BASED) @CoreCivic for $495.6 million…”
Actual fraud in Minnesota. Corruption in plain sight as Trump steers billions to his friends/Republican donors. @MarshaBlackburn

Thanks to the Supreme Court if you were wrongfully convicted, and you discover a new evidence, you cannot use it to get out of prison. this is dangerous.. so innocent people will be executed.

Well, this is some seriously disturbing shit.
A girl was walking to her school bus stop when a man driving a gray sedan approached her. He allegedly told her she was pretty, exposed himself, and touched himself before driving away.
That man was, allegedly, Andre Stafford, the Republican running for Georgia House District 42. He was arrested on a felony child molestation charge and a misdemeanor public indecency charge. According to the arrest warrant, investigators used Flock license-plate cameras to trace the vehicle to Stafford. The girl then identified him in a photographic lineup.
A judge initially denied bond, citing concerns about danger to the community. Stafford was subsequently released on a reported $27,720 bond.
He says he’s innocent and intends to stay in the race.
But there’s more to this story.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Trump says eliminating methane regulations will save $45 billion.
His own EPA estimates the change will lower oil prices by 11 cents per barrel. That’s a fraction of a penny per gallon at the pump.
Meanwhile, oil and gas companies have wasted an estimated $7 billion worth of natural gas through leaks, venting and flaring since the EPA stopped enforcing the rules in March 2025.
And here in southwestern Pennsylvania, we’re still dealing with the legacy of abandoned mines and leaking wells. Or would you also like pipes sticking up from the ground everywhere to keep it from exploding?
Billions in projected savings. Virtually nothing at the pump. Occasional house explosions for you, less accountability for the methane leaks that cause them.
Who exactly is this supposed to help? Oh, right… not us.

If you watch only one clip from the Philadelphia City Council hearing about the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences, let it be this one. It — and I don't say this lightly — must be seen to be believed. #SaveTheAcademy

This is so terrifyingly true and explains why men hate “onlyfans” working women for not suffering enough. They NEED to consume that content, but they hate that women aren't suffering. So they take up that role themselves in the comments after jerking off, then call her worthless
You don't hate this administration enough. I hope they sue.
A Santa Maria High School student with special needs was detained by federal immigration enforcement less than a half mile from the school campus on Thursday morning. The student, who was described as non-verbal, was on his way to school when he was apprehended for matching the description of another person. Witnesses at the scene said he was aggressively tackled, restrained, and questioned before being left with multiple injuries, including a broken wrist.
Volunteers with the 805 Rapid Response Network have been on the ground every morning in Santa Barbara County, documenting verified ICE activity and alerting the community through the 24/7 hotline. The Rapid Response team reported the incident immediately and confirmed the details with eyewitnesses and Santa Maria Joint Union High School District staff. Nearby security camera footage also confirmed ICE was involved in the incident.
When ICE officers left the student on the street, he made his way to the campus, and school staff arranged for an ambulance to provide medical attention. School administration said the student’s injuries included lacerations, bruising, and a wrist that required surgery.
On Saturday, October 24, 805 Undocufund will be holding a rally in Santa Maria starting at 5 p.m. on South McClelland Avenue.
“We call on the community to stand alongside us as we keep on calling for the protection of your immigrant community!” the group wrote in a post announcing the rally. “Show up for each other — our communities are under attack and we will not back up, we will keep showing up everyday!”

Joshua Michael found an access token on Flock's public website.
No login required. No authentication. Just sitting there.
He downloaded Flock's entire database. 300,000 device locations. 170,000 cameras. 130,000 other hardware units. 27,000 acoustic detectors.
Made a map. Published it September 23.
The Senate held a hearing on Flock the same day. Cited Michael's research.
Flock panicked.
Sent a cease-and-desist. Used a brand-protection vendor called Doppel to claim trademark infringement.
The map said it wasn't affiliated with Flock. Doppel didn't care.
Michael's site went dark.
Then Proton moved it to Swiss servers.
Now it lives on protonmcp.org. Untouchable. Uncensorable. Hosted by an encryption company in a country that doesn't care what Flock wants.
The irony is crystalline.
Flock left an access token on the internet. Michael used it to download their own data. Published it. Flock tried to suppress it.
Proton said suppressing it is suppressing information.
Which is true.
The map shows Flock has 150,000 more cameras than they publicly claimed.
Shows acoustic detection units mapping human speech across the country.
Shows which police departments have access to the whole network.
Flock doesn't want that visible.
So they tried trademark infringement.
Which only worked until Proton decided transparency matters more than Flock's feelings.
Now everyone can see exactly how many cameras are watching their car. Where they are. Which cops can see them.
Michael warned Flock about the exposed token in November 2025.
Flock ignored him.
Then got mad when he used it.
The surveillance company that claims to protect privacy just tried to suppress the only map showing how much they actually surveille.
And failed.
‼️ Proton is hosting a map of 300,000+ Flock surveillance device locations that Flock tried to get taken down.
Researcher Joshua Michael says he pulled them from Flock's own systems via a token left open to anyone.
Proton calls the takedown "an attempt to suppress information."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
