A pro-Ukraine stance seems to tie together the assassination attempts despite how disparate the politics of the attempted shooters seem to be.

His posting diet was otherwise very normal and largely followed some of the big accounts on here. He shared Ben Collins making a joke about Bluesky activating an "emergency pervert filter". He shared my post laughing about the Pope being "soft on crime". He shared a LOT of Will Stancil posts.

So I went through this and his account is EXTREMELY normal liberal / progressive stuff. He mostly reposted and shared news about Ukraine, fundraisers and the like. His few posts are about that and his dislike of AI as a teacher.

Im like 99% sure the guy was a speedrunner and the shots all came from law enforcement

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

You say that you unequivocally reject violence and yet you wholeheartedly supported the Iraq war.

I am an "Iraq First" kind of girlie so I have never been this excited about a World Cup in my whole life :-)) Already saving some money to buy Iraqi team merch. My nephew is 14 years old and he is extremely excited too.

Please welcome the new Israeli political party onto the scene, the core principles are: racism, racism, and unity (around racism)

Bennett and Lapid's new joint party, 'Togther' vows to never "cede an inch" of Israeli territory (which they take to include all of Palestine) and to not coalition with a single Arab party

I wish! But I’ll be out of town for Mother’s Day weekend.

We just dropped a limited batch of $5 tickets at gothamfc.com/mayor for the Gotham FC May 9th home game vs. Boston Legacy. I'll be there. Will you? Grab a $5 ticket at gothamfc.com/mayor before they're gone!

Responsible for the killings of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis 👇👇

“Gaza represents a new pinnacle for this type of wholesale destruction as a military strategy, of using overwhelming and disproportionate force against civilians and infrastructure. But the seed of this strategy was planted two decades ago – in a previous Israeli war on Lebanon” — my latest

1000%

Please remember that political violence is never the answer — unless it’s directed at Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Venezuela, etc.

Somber scenes from the White House, just kidding they are all standing around with a shit eating grins, smiling and laughing after a “successful” psyop.

Fighting tears, Almarez talked about how much Yari’s condition has worsened since being detained and now she depends on other women being detained to help her get around and shower. “Tylenol. That’s what Yari get’s for leukemia, for lymphedema, for rheumatoid arthritis. That’s all she gets.”

From earlier: Sonia Almarez spoke outside the Surprise warehouse & described the conditions her partner Arbella "Yari" Rodríguez Márquez is experiencing ~80 miles south at the ICE concentration camp in Eloy. Márquez has lost 70 lbs while being denied care for 14 months as she suffers from leukemia.

This is from my local news late last night. They were at the suspect from the Correspondents’ Dinner’s home even before the FBI showed up. Cole Allen is registered as having no party affiliation. Self-described as a mechanical engineer, independent game developer, and a tutor. So many questions…

Just wild that the Secret Service shot a Donald Trump supporter dead at Mar-a-Lago two months ago because he had a gun & was trying to kill the president over the Epstein files but—speaking only for myself—I haven’t heard a word about it amid the coverage tonight www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The American media apparatus has always been a willing accomplice in the heinous crimes committed by the American regime against innocent people worldwide. "Traumatised"? Try living in countries terrorised by your regime and then get back to me. There's not enough suffering in the world for ya'll.

As someone who grew up in Iraq under Saddam's rule and consumed so much Saddam State Media content watching US media WILLINGLY pander to America's fascist regime will never cease to amaze me.

JEWISH RUTGERS U STUDENT PROTESTS IDF SOLDIER: “When grandmother told me about the Holocaust and about ‘Never Again’. This is not ‘Never Again’. ‘Never Again’ means ‘Never Again’ for everybody.”

The United States never accounts for its crimes. That's why we're in this mess, and it's why the whole world is turning their backs on us.

For the first time, documents confirm the CIA carried out tests on North Korean POWs and planned for much more invasive experimentation.

Police in Virginia used a technique called geofencing to tap into Google's databases to find out who was near the scene of a bank robbery. The Supreme Court will consider whether it is constitutional.

Trump was facing opposition for his Ballroom scam, including from his own base; the staged attack should get him over the edge to have it approved. The shooter wasn’t even booked yet and the Trump propaganda network launched a coordinated campaign to push the ballroom

notice the casual conflation of “free speech” and “no big deal” as if these are not categorically different claims; the contempt for his colleagues; and the inability to distinguish interrupting class out of retaliatory spite from the protest of an address by a public official

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

Here’s a question that keeps bugging me. Cole Allen, the WHCD shooter is on video running through the metal detectors fully clothed. The photos of him arrested and on the ground show him shirtless. Why is he shirtless? Was he wearing clothing with a message this admin doesn’t want us to see?

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Meanwhile this is the news from Washington D.C. today:

Hearing the head of the WHCA—who just days ago participated in a Paramount dinner “honoring” Trump— say tonight that the First Amendment is “fragile” because of a random shooter rather than because of the president sitting next to her on the podium is, I guess, exactly as pathetic as you’d expect.

Interim DC police chief Carroll says the shooting suspect was believed to have been a hotel guest, and it is too soon to know his intended target

I can't be the only one getting deja vu watching a House Republican literally running at top speed from an intruding violent reality he personally helped create

i’ll be honest it’s so fucking funny to take this angle after another shooting attempt its just so shameless

They got their marching orders.

Highly amused that the WHCD afterparties are happening despite the shooting. That's so fucking USA (pejorative).

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

I want to live in a country where: - the president isn‘t a fascist - the political media don’t collaborate with fascism - political violence and mass shootings aren’t a regular occurrence - there is a democratic method to depose the head of state if they’re a corrupt, demented pedo

Photographer Andy Harnik casually snapped pictures during the shooting incident without letting go of his bourbon.

Suspect named Cole Thomas Allen, 31. Video posted by Trump of security footage shows suspect speed through security before being taken down off-camera.

How the press is going to be talking about this:

Proof that this was staged... trump had a post queued up ready to post, despite lack of cell service in the room... and was already prepared to take credit for saying "The show must go on"

See this is what happens when you entrust men with organising a party.
