The Ceuta invasion is being coordinated by Facebook groups. @finkd

The flagship group description: "Ceuta by every route #hraga_ceuta — Migration is an idea, and the idea does not die."

There are countless posts soliciting people to go with others. This is in clear violation of the Facebook ToS that prohibits content "offers to provide or facilitate human smuggling" or content that asks for "asks for human smuggling services."

The groups that must be banned are:
• Hraga Ceuta 🚢 — 124,639 · 231/day → /groups/749906839376195/
• Hraga Ceuta 🇪🇸 — 36,272 · 186/day → /groups/1302645485013793/
• [Immigration to] ceuta — 31,272 · 31/day → /groups/2161047214157232/
• Haraga_ceuta — 22,382 · 81/day → /groups/2250468988743746/
• Haraga Ceuta sabta 2024/2025 — 15,860 · 12/day → /groups/1370413077068987/

@finkd They call it a "liberation" of Ceuta, a handover back to its owners. @mattvanswol is right on the money. It's an invasion.

@finkd @mattvanswol Posters are exchanging phone numbers, maps, requesting "spots" to be guided, discussing how to purchase equipment such as fence grips.

I haven't yet found any discussions on what they plan to do after landing in Ceuta.

🚨🎙️ THREAD: The Biden ghostwriter tapes are out.

Tonight the Oversight Project ( @ItsYourGov ) released roughly 70 hours of audio from Joe Biden's 2016–2017 interviews with his "Promise Me, Dad" ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, the same recordings Special Counsel Robert Hur cited in 2024. They came out only after a two-year court fight with DOJ that Biden's own lawyers tried, and failed, to block.

I've started going through them. Across five of these interviews, with no cleared person in the room, Biden pauses to flag his own notes as classified or too sensitive to hand over. On one tape he says it out loud:

"Some of this may be classified, so be careful." (April 24, 2017. Audio below.)

Oversight's Jeff Clark: "The tapes make clear that Biden disclosed massive amounts of classified information to his ghost writer."

No thesis yet, analysis is ongoing. But here are the biggest quotes so far, in Biden's own words, each with a timestamp you can check against the audio.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

@ItsYourGov Feb 16, 2017 [0:04:19].
"early on, um, in '09, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs."

Biden reads his diary aloud to Zwonitzer, narrating a classified National Security Council meeting (Austin, Dunford, Blinken, Obama, Carter, Brennan), then:

@ItsYourGov April 24, 2017 [0:45:31]. On the handwritten records he kept from office:

"I had all those at the house in a safe. I don't know what… they made me do with them."

🧵🔥 THE MOVE: The Framework Candace Owens Uses to Train Her Audience to Ignore Evidence 🧵

Tyler Robinson left a handwritten confession note under his keyboard for his roommate. He sent a text first: "Drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard."

The response from Candace's audience: "Where's the metadata on those texts?”

The metadata exists. Search Warrant No. 3217131, Page 7: a warrant was obtained for Lance Twiggs' cellphone. The Statewide Information Analysis Center (SIAC) provided Apple ID information for both accounts on the device. FBI investigators reviewed the data. The warrant covers iMessages, FaceTime and call history, photographs, videos, location history, websites visited, email, and browsing history.

But that answer won't matter to anyone who asked. And the reason it won't matter is the whole point of this thread.

Here's how THE MOVE works:
- Candace finds something about the case that hasn't been publicly reported.
- She treats the absence of public reporting as the absence of investigation.
- She fills the gap with a theory.
- When the evidence eventually surfaces, she doesn't engage with it... she finds a new procedural question about the evidence itself.
- And that question does the same job the old one did: allows her audience to keep scrolling.

Below are six videos. One pattern. Once you see THE MOVE, you'll catch it every time she opens her mouth on this case.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Candace: "Does he even exist? I think it's a fair question. Is he just an AI app?"

THE MOVE: Surveillance photos aren't perfectly clear, ergo they're not Tyler Robinson.

REALITY: He walked up to the TPUSA table and talked to staff. Four visits on camera. DNA at 30 quintillion to 1. DNA on the rifle towel. Turned himself in by name with his parents. One blurry stairwell frame let her skip past all of it.

🧵🔥 THREAD: Candace Owens on Erika Kirk, in Her Own Words

Candace, yesterday, pre-spun a @ncri_io report she hadn't read, calling it "Zionist." The report is Candace's own show. It doesn't accuse her of anything. Her own footage does that.

Before the investigation, Candace spent 40 episodes defending Erika Kirk. She called her "genuinely such a nice person." She swore that nobody "outside of my husband and Erica Kirk" had the power to shut her up. She told her audience she would stop if Erika asked.

Erika asked her to stop. Candace didn't stop. She couldn't; the investigation had become her primary subscription product. So she revoked Erika's authority the only way she could: by making Erika untrustworthy.

No new evidence appeared between the praise and the accusations; just a new business need.

And this business need may very well end up in tragedy.

Here is Candace and her audience - in their own words.

(Special credit to @SKDoubleDub33 for the music.)

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Candace built four mutually exclusive theories about who killed Charlie Kirk. Each version contradicts the last. None had a single named source.

The closest thing Owens comes to offering actual receipts is declaring a .30-06 could not have possibly killed Kirk and left no exit wound. One that is easily debunked by searching for counter-examples.

🚨🧵 MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? 🇩🇪

Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier — endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — beat a five-term incumbent to win New York's 13th congressional district.

@AsraNomani has been reporting on their ties to Cuba and the China/Singham network. But what’s not known is DSA’s deep ties to the German government.

The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke — the German parliamentary party formed from the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism, itself the legal successor to East Germany's ruling Marxist party, the SED.

Under German law, every party in the Bundestag gets a taxpayer-funded foundation. Die Linke's share is approximately EUR70MM annually.

Most German party foundations sponsor conferences, publish research, and fund exchange programs. What RLS-NYC did was put its own staff inside DSA's organizational leadership — concurrently — for over a decade.

In 2012, RLS opened a New York office. EIN 45-3658022. Their own annual report states: "With the help of funds from the BMZ and the Foreign Office, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung maintains a network of international relationships. This includes financing its foreign offices."

Over the last 13 years, Berlin has sent millions to this office.

Despite these ties, no FARA registration for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung was identified in the Department of Justice database.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

Neal Meyer is listed on the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's payroll as "Project Manager."

Meyer previously served as NYC-DSA's chapter treasurer from 2016 to 2018.

On January 15, Meyer published "Big Stakes in the Big Apple" on , a strategic analysis of DSA's electoral prospects after Mamdani's mayoral victory.

One week later, NYC-DSA voted endorse Darializa Avila Chevalier for NY-13. rosalux.nyc

🚨🧵 BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money.

Other than that, totally grassroots.

Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party.

Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris.

NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience."

@ParkerThayer exposed the Action Network backend.

Credit to @ParkerThayer for finding this Action Network backend and inspiring me to dig a bit deeper.

https://x.com/ParkerThayer/status/2067740118035669472

@ParkerThayer The money trail starts at Good Ventures Foundation, the private foundation of Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook co-founder.

Good Ventures is the giving vehicle for Open Philanthropy, an "effective altruism" grantmaker.
