NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived
Putin and Orban coordinating on a desperate false flag operation that everyone knew was coming.

I wonder how much of the masking has to do less with protecting agents from being doxed and more to do with protecting the government from us finding out how many of the agents are know figures from the world of white nationalists, Jan 6ers, accelerationists, and militias, or just plain unqualified.
Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

If today's big story doesn't force professional sports leagues to cold turkey break it off with the gambling shit, they're telling the fans we should expect a product much closer to sports entertainment than actual competition. So I guess we'll see. Because then we're in scripted TV territory.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
