🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.

I won't do this, trump administration AND pandemic, AGAIN I will find & lick a bat, fucking watch me.

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

The two Minnesota murders could provide Trump with a welcome distraction from Epstein and affordability. by Chris Cillizza

a pathetic spin

Infuriating to say the least

The Houston Chronicle naming Andy Kahan as a Houstonian of the year is a weak move. At some point the media is complicit. You literally don’t have to applaud someone who chooses to propagandize the public. #houston #harriscounty #texaspolitics

🔥MINNESOTA MAN to @stoneskynews.bsky.social : “The mood is anger. We’re angry with our federal government for invading us for no good reason other than Trump wasn’t backed here— it’s a violent, brutal fascist administration. Trump’s a terrible bully. We’re defending this place against him.”

That's about how I process sports

The Houston Chronicle editorial board says the Harris County Judge race is about pragmatism vs confrontation. Parker vs Plummer I agree. Just not the way they do. open.substack.com/pub/steviesa...

Every thing is triggering me today

@skylight.social I am trying to love skylight but it never lets me post. I can’t even post a 30 second video 😩

Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and pulling observers out, in one case unconscious, merely for watching what they are doing. The country should be alarmed they won't stop with us - but know that while this is traumatizing to any good person you know

They have already outfitted Waltrip High School… a majority Latino school with essentially an endorsement of Houston mayor John Whitmire with zero public participation other than an unnamed committee?

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.
