@ProudSocialist This clip and its context certainly raises a number of legitimate questions that should be answered by an open and transparent Congressional inquiry.

This is Amy Eskridge.
She is one of the 11 scientists who has died/disappeared recently that’s linked to high government research and secrets.
Amy researched anti-gravity and in this clip reveals anti-gravity was already discovered 4 times, but each time the government suppressed it. She then reveals she was close to discovering it, but was threatened that she would be killed if she published it.
She was found dead shortly after this 2022 interview. It was ruled a “suicide” but no investigation details were made public and British intelligence officer Franc Milburn testified before Congress in 2023 that her death was not a suicide. She also said this a few months before her death: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not.”
What is going on? Is our own government murdering scientists whose research and discoveries (i.e. free energy) threaten the profits of corporations and billionaires?

The political/industrial complex always has excuses for not supporting public funding of elections and/or granting open access to the airwaves to all candidates. If this were done, then consultants would have to forego fat commissions for buying airtime for campaigns and media corporations would have to forego some gravy they make on election ads.
David Sirota@davidsirota
Every two years, media corporations that own local TV stations are handed billions of dollars by politicians for doing nothing more than providing airtime for campaign ads... ...and yet those media corporations plead poverty to justify mass layoffs of local TV journalists. It's almost as if these corporations actually have plenty of money to fund local journalism, but instead their executives and shareholders choose to just pocket most of the cash.

If all planned data centers in North Carolina are built, developers would receive an estimated $450 million in sales tax exemptions each and every year. And with the state’s impending fiscal cliff and the federal government retreating on longstanding commitments, state revenue is especially precious.
We should spend taxpayer dollars only when it adds value to our people. And do we really want to subsidize energy consumption by data centers when they are making everyone else’s power bills go up? It doesn’t make much sense to me.

The @Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, is out with a major new research study showing that immigrants, both legal and illegal, contribute significantly more in taxes than they receive in public benefits.
And there's more: because immigrants (both legal and not) are such large net-contributors of tax revenue, they also structurally reduce government budget deficits.

The radio show with Chapel Hill Council member Theo Nollert aired today. We discuss affordability and housing in the community.
Theo introduced amendments to LUMO that were passed last week that made duplexes easier and made it easier for a property owner to subdivide and sell subplots on a larger zoning lot.
The next set of amendments he will present will focus on legalizing triplexes and quadruplexes.
chapelboro.com/wchl/features/…
Theo Nollert is the Policy Director at Carolina Forward, a North Carolina think tank, and is currently serving his first term as a member of the Chapel Hill Town Council. Before joining Carolina Forward, he ran the North Carolina Democratic Party’s 2024 campus turnout program and was the president of the Graduate and Professional Student Government at UNC.

The bigger question is what counties in each state are they moving from and where are they moving to? So for example in a state that Trump won in 2024 such as North Carolina the two counties adding the most net people are Mecklenburg (Charlotte) and Wake (Raleigh) which are blue counties that did not vote for Trump in 2016, 2020 or in 2024.

@VanJones68 Trump Amerikkka is cognitive dissonance dancing with hypocrisy under the gaslight while irony smirks in the shadows and pretension cannot shake the nagging doubt that this is a cosmic satire that became a farce.
English
Most of us are just interpreting the images and videos that our algorithm serves us. (Few people outside of Minneapolis have a truly comprehensive view of what is happening there.) That said: here is what I am seeing on MY phone. … A rowdy but overwhelmingly NONVIOLENT protest movement VERSUS overwhelmingly lawless and VIOLENT government agents from ICE … Courageous citizen journalists VERSUS cowardly, masked bullies. … Government LIES about an armed threat to cops VERSUS the TRUTH from citizen cell phones proving the man posed no threat when he was shot. … If your phone is showing you something radically different, please let me know. But a country in which immigration officials keep gunning down US citizens — knowing that the federal government will always side with its armed agents against any citizen — is hard to describe as a nation of laws.

Kristi Noem just said: "I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign." That was said to justify the killing of this ICU nurse.
Carrying guns has been a staple of right-wing protests, especially during COVID. That's legal:
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Q: Did he brandish a gun? KRISTI NOEM: This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons

Kristi Noem just said that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist. It’s the same BS line they used for Renee Nicole Good. The Trump regime got caught murdering 2 people and they know it.

If ICE agents aren’t held accountable, the killing of civilians will only continue. This is what happens when the Vice President says ICE agents have “absolute immunity.”

Alex Pretti… This is who Trump’s secret police killed today in Minnesota. He was a VA nurse.

@BillKristol This madness simply has to stop. Yes, we need secure borders. Yes, we need safe communities. Yes, we need real immigration reform. And "NO" these public policy goals cannot be accomplished by trampling civil rights, shredding the constitution and using Gestapoesque tactics.

“The federal government is no longer bound by law. If agents of the state may kill people in public without being investigated; if they have—again, per VP Vance—“absolute immunity” from prosecution then we are living in an authoritarian regime.”

Today, out-of-control masked federal agents killed another American, Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse.
Trump needs to end this chaos and withdraw his ICE battalions from Minneapolis.
The Senate must vote down funding this slaughter of our people.

It's simple: the DHS bill isn't going to pass if its lawlessness isn't reined in.
Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer
What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no. Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

What the Trump Admin is telling you.
-Don't record ICE
-Don't carry a gun around ICE
-Don't ask ICE for a warrant.
So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.

Just watched the video. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump.
You're supposed to be helping the average American, not killing them in the streets. Trump is sending in ICE to CREATE THIS CONFLICT.
This is to divide and distract you. Once you hate each other, you won't be fighting the elites.

I will vote against any additional funding for Trump’s ICE and CBP while they act with such reckless disregard for life, safety and the Constitution.
