image is a screencap of text from an atlantic article ("The FBI Director Is MIA") by sarah fitzpatrick. it reads: On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.”

kash patel is a bloke who knows he's not up to the task. at least he's right about that part.

Raisins in a chocolate bar never appealed to me as a kid.

The reason the US right wants us talking about "mysterious conspiracy theories" is because they don't want us talking about matters of public policy and how to use political power to improve the lives of ordinary people. Every day we're talking about conspiracies is a day they're winning.

A 1 kittenpower engine!

Billionaires want us divided.

it's so cool how comfortably employed legacy journalists can just follow a bunch of independent journalists, rip off their stories, and still pretend they are better than the rest of us.

He has been reprogrammed and will now do everything he can to eliminate FEMA. These fucking fascists man.

Wow, he’s such a fucking asshole.

He’s completely offended because the Pope spoke to him about his irresponsible war, so he just punishes innocent homeless children.

It is too bizarre for words.

He's a smart guy! The press would have a field day if he went. Lets see how they try to spin this.

This is what happens when tax policy is corruptly influenced by corporations, billionaires, and Wall Street executives.

And Obama was president for twice as long.

Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
