Jordan Klepper Exposing MAGA’s Communist Cluelessness
This is what 75 years of Red Scare propaganda does to a country.

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

ICE just locked up the man who feeds 8,000 Bronx neighbors a month, at his own immigration hearing. Now his food pantry is shut.🤬
Aleksander Nilaj, an Albanian immigrant who founded the Open Hand food pantry in the Bronx in 2012, showed up for his immigration hearing at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. ICE agents detained him instead. He is now held at Delaney Hall, a detention center in Newark, New Jersey. bit.ly/4i8Uqse

They’ve cooked up a conspiracy that Ilhan Omar married her brother based on an AI-generated marriage certificate and a blog targeting her. It’s been thoroughly, repeatedly debunked. (snopes.com/collections/ilhan…)
But the feds are targeting her as punishment for Minneapolis rising up against ICE, for her support of that resistance, and for not piping down or bending the knee. So the DOJ submits a warrant using the fake name, with her real name as the alias. This is then used by the Trump admin and propagandists as “proof” that their conspiracy theory is true, which they use as basis to launch more aggressive attacks.
They are explicitly seeking to denaturalize and deport her, and are manufacturing cause to do so.

Q: There was a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction?
OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr and Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Somali names traditionally use a person's given name, father's name, and grandfather's name rather than Western-style inherited surnames. MAGA spent ten years researching Ilhan Omar and somehow never found time to research how Somali names work.
#BREAKING: Ilhan Omar's real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, the same surname as her ex-husband.

Tarrant County, Texas just closed 92 Election Day polling places.
Before 2013, Texas needed federal sign-off to change how its people vote. John Roberts wrote the ruling that ended that.
That’s his fingerprint on every closed door.

The man was Somali. I wanted to add that since that community has become a punching bag of sorts in rightwing media.
A SOMALI American rescued a busload of children.
A Minnesota man is opening up after he saved nearly 20 children when their school bus driver suffered a medical emergency.

BREAKING: In a stunning move, Republicans are openly airing ads calling out Ken Paxton as someone who is NOT a man of god. Something crazy is happening in Texas. This needs to be shared everywhere.

Thus is ACTUAL political persecution.
If you can help her please do. I guarantee you all she didn’t commit a crime and is an American citizen.
Trump had been trying to bring her down for a decade. I know because I was once, unknowingly a part of a plot to do just that.

ICE cause father to crash car during traffic stop—with 2 little kids sitting in back seat.
Turns out he wasn't even guy they were looking for.
Traumatize his 2 toddlers for no reason.
Agents grab at kids' legs trying to pry them out of their dad's arms.
Video clearly shows severe damage to the front of the man's car—with the driver side wheel completely off.
Then agents threaten U.S. citizen with pepper spray—just for filming on public sidewalk.
After running the man's picture through facial recognition—agents had to admit they got the wrong guy.
Incident occurred in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island.
Og_Cempoalli doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Is JD Vance seriously suggesting that immigrants have brought a culture of revolution and protest TO FRANCE? @jonstewart
