The guy genuinely gave a shit. And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.

That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

As JD Vance starts trying to play "nice Gestapo" to Steven Miller's "mean Gestapo," it's worth emphasizing that what's happening in Minnesota is a direct descendant of Vance's knowingly false racist demagoguery during the campaign. "Somalis are low-IQ thieves" is "Haitians are eating your pets." 1/

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

He means white kids.

Where are Obama, Bush, Biden, Clinton, the CEOs of the companies that helped talked Trump down from Greenland, ANYONE with authority or market power who can command a microphone and back up the brave citizens of Minneapolis, and say this is morally wrong and an existential threat to the republic?

A five-year-old boy seized on his way home in Minnesota and now locked up in Texas. His family didn't know where he was for 24 hours.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

This is an amazingly thoughtful, information-rich thread. By a sitting member of Congress! How about that.

What's striking of course is they went ahead with it _after_ the Post broke the story a couple weeks back and they seemed to climb down.

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot. Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Speaks for itself

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

Oh, shit, Jack DeJohnette.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

"We came bc this is a great country, bc our lives were gonna be better,” Sandibell said. As a cancer survivor I cannot imagine getting through treatment w/out the support of loved ones who fed me, got me to appointments, & held my hand during scary moments. What our nation is doing is a disgrace.

Happy Deepavali, all.

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.

The correct answer is of course Tony Fauci.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

It is time to Abolish ICE. It is an ongoing violation and shame to the US and its values.

Classy. Good for him.

Don't look away. This is being done in your name, my fellow Americans.

Remember that the Trump Administration demands you idolize these agents and not condemn them. But they’re Gestapo trash.

The people “enforcing” immigration law under this administration understand what their real job is but we’re all supposed to pretend it’s something else

Excellent thread.

Having a lot of trouble summoning sympathy for folks who now pretend they thought Trump was only going to go after violent criminal immigrants. It was alway obvious that wasn’t true. You just mean you didn’t think he’d go after white people.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Promise I'll never do this again, but this is then-Sen. Marco Rubio's contemporaneous reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Note who he is dunking on.

"Last week’s attack on the #CDC could have been a slaughter." Absolutely. And, importantly, thanks to the inflammatory rhetoric, falsehoods, disinformation, and conspiracy theories constantly spouted by the very same person who's responsible for the agency - HHS Secretary RFK Jr. He must go.

If this administration ever leaves office, schools of public health and medicine will no doubt try to rehabilitate RFK Jr, and his Horsemen (Bhattacharya, Makary, Prasad, and the rest) as endowed chairs and keynote speakers. They should be shunned forever as the eugenicists they are.

Only a real man has the courage to kick the brown 3-year-olds out of pre-K apnews.com/article/trum...

Armed officers, frequent use of force and people grabbed on the street or at their places of work. Working with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org we have monitored the LA raids, discovering recurring trends and tactics used by officers. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/07...

I encourage everyone to read this letter. Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought. Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too. What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

Is it because he’s a little bitch?

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history
