well then

Note: This post said "WE" have to do this. Not, "Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries" have to. You are part of the "we" here.

Candace Owens released leaked audio from Turning Point USA in which Erika Kirk is heard giggling and cheerfully discussing attendance figures, merchandise sales, and performance metrics from Charlie Kirk’s memorial event just 11 days after his death...

i very much respect that Candace is a messy bitch who loves drama

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling on ICE: "They are an undisciplined militia and the leadership is awful...This is not policing and it's not military service. It's something dangerously undefined."

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

Tell ya what, Hank. We'll be nicer to the people who ignored our warnings for years when they acknowledge we were right the entire time AND stop arguing with us (say, by writing whiny op-eds) about anything political since they've proven their judgment is flawed. How 'bout that, Hank?

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both American citizens. Both were shot and killed by Donald Trump’s federal agents.

For this, the state decided to execute him.

I better see every single fucking gun rights activist decrying DHS justifying this man’s murder just because he had a gun on him. Even if it was his gun, he didn’t draw it—and there was no reason to shoot him when a mob of ICE agents already had him on the ground.

I’m trying to understand Republicans’ latest interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. You can now be executed by federal agents if you possess a firearm? Even after you are disarmed? I’m just trying to keep your position straight on this “shall not be infringed” stuff.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Ice just murdered another person

Man if Biden came out rocking a yellow head and leprosy the press would've had a field day

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

Newsom: "On my site there are kneepads available for purchase. The last round of kneepads sold out, just as our law firms are selling out, many American universities are selling out, and yes, many corporate leaders are selling out to this administration. Selling out our values, our future ... "

If confirmed, this really is a new low, where a state agency is altering image of real events with an intent to deceive the public.

I’m demanding Sec. Noem provide an explanation for this abhorrent policy & that my Republican colleagues hold hearings & join me in demanding the Trump Admin answer for this lawlessness. 6

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

for what its worth, neither Kalshi nor Polymarket have bets on Trump eating it today, so if his inner circle isn't doing insider trading on him dying, he's probably still with us

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

This is Trump’s America!

This is just egregious editing.

When people say they want 'law and order' in polls what rarely gets parsed is they expect the law to be orderly. Masked, armed goons in unmarked cars hassling people who are just going to school or work is practically indistinguishable from even the concept people may have of "out of control crime"

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Whoops...

Yeah. I’m angry this morning. Fucking seething. Thanks again to the ratfucking shitheels who made it easy for people to develop excuses for not voting to avoid this. Not preserving democracy for online clout is the flex of the coward and I hope you’re hounded about your actions until you die.

House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education." 6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Let me give you a thought experiment: Imagine not just a ban on qualified immunity for authority, but a reversal; a new legal framework, under which authority bears greater responsibility than civilians in matters involving force—as it should. www.the-reframe.com/absolute-imm...

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

@kamalaharris.com told us exactly what would happen.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Best turnout yet for this weekly prayer vigil outside of Pittsburgh’s ICE office.

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...
