We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.

Remember how the government bailed out the billionaires in 2009?
How many of those people are in the Epstein files?
They’ve been ripping you off for decades.

The reason they’re going to stuff you all into concentration warehouses instead of camps this time is because you have drones now and might take pictures.

In light of Jean Chrétien's most recent denialist comments - story to come, basically he downplays the harm of the IRS system - I went down the rabbit hole researching how far Indigenous leaders lobbied him, as Minister of Indian Affairs in the 1960s and 1970s, to close the system 🧵

Incinerators?
⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
