Officials said they wanted to search the phone of Samuel Tunick, a Stop Cop City activist, for child abuse material. It was actually because he was suspected of “terrorist activities.”
Weird how the DHS isn’t stopping every Republican politician for suspected child abuse material, but they stopped a left-leaning activist who went to a protest.
It’s almost like we should never believe what they say or something.
And those ‘terrorist activities’?
“He hurt our fee-fees by highlighting the abuses we were committing!”
“He opposed us building our fascist thuggery theme park”
So many terrifying human being like that, its a e(pid)(nd)emic
its ait’s an epidemic /its ait’s endemic
Seems like an odd thing to lie about as alleged terrorist activities also give them the right to search the phone.
Classic playbook, you’ll see it used everywhere if you look closely.
Need to decrease public support of someone? Push a fake story out that they abuse kids or had child abuse material.
It’s the same “think of the children” bullshit they use for removing abortion rights, healthcare privacy, internet anonymity, location tracking, and any other law enforcement abuses that come up.
Seriously, I don’t think they care one iota about public support on this one. He’s already in front of a judge.
I suspect they assume saying “everyone is a pedo” distracts from the actual pedo’s in charge
They lied.
“Everyone I don’t like is a terrorist pedophile!”
Those are just Republicans
DHS is always lying. They get caught often enough that you know that you are seeing a small fraction of their criminal behavior.
Weird angle. He’s not even in the Epstein Files.
Its kind of jarring to have them both trying to normalize child sex abuse while still using it as the emotional trigger for justification of losing rights.
Like does the US like pedophiles or not? Pick a lane!
Conservatives (and shitty people more generally) will take whatever position best serves them in the moment and will change that position as needed. Their only true axiom is “fuck you, got mine,” anything else is fungible.
“Hey you got anything good in there?”
