Here’s a list of the allegations that Patel claims are false and defamatory:

This is not how a public servant talks in a democracy. This is how a dictator’s henchman talks.

an underrated, unforgivable belief that remains prevalent among pols and normies is that a rising tide lifts all boats when it’s been clear forever that a rising tide simply drowns the people on low lying land

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.

Reminder: they are never as powerful as they want you to think they are

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

With regard to our berobed and beshitted Justice Alito:

If the Founders had no capacity to conceive of illegal immigration, then they also had not the imagination to conceptualize automatic weapons.

Originalism is and always was a pathetic, desperate lie of miserable, ideological shitheels.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Why would an increased interaction with LLMs and their specific communication designs not affect human subjectivity in significant ways? Not full-blown psychosis but more subtle acquiesence to the prompts, suggestions etc. gradually shaping perspectives in ways that become invisible ...

This reminds me of that line I saw someone say once (which rang true) that something that makes Trump uniquely able to connect with low-information voters is that he is a low-information voter.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."

Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

This Is Exactly What Privacy Experts Said Would Happen CBP’s trove of biometric data is catnip for bad actors.

I was quoted in this 2019 article about the risks of troves of biometric data collected by CBP from travelers. Six short years later and our data is being used against us, just like pretty much everyone warned it would be.

This country is under some kind of wizard's curse where every 50 years there's a crisis that reminds everyone why it's bad for a small gang of obscenely rich assholes to control everything, and we go ohhh and then we all immediately forget again

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."
