One of these two people was a "good guy with a gun"

Spoiler alert: It wasn't Kyle Rittenhouse

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

He was the best of us ...
Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Alex Pretti was an Intensive Care Unit nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. A minute before his death, he was helping direct traffic through the scene. His last words were asking a woman he was helping to her feet if she was okay.

@brianstelter.bsky.social @cnn.com This looks legit. Is this happening? Perhaps @cnn.com can assign a reporter to dig into this and other incidents of #IntolerableActs?
ICE has been taking babies from their foster parents and separating them from the only family they know.

You can hear the agonizing cries from the baby and the scream of the man telling the officers ‘she’s just a baby!!’

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

To @aoc.bsky.social’s point, here’s what JD Vance said about Kyle Rittenhouse:

🗽🇨🇦 #ILiftMyLampToYou Parliamentary Secretary Kody Blois for leadership in execution of PM Carney’s recalibration of Canada’s global trade relationships, policy goals, regulatory reforms, and trade-focused international engagements.

We look up to Canada for #GoodGovernment with no decline in amity.

Canada is the keenest observer of the United States.

The United States would do well to keenly observe this Nova Scotian's clear leadership on the subject of power and how it may be productively wielded. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Kody Blois on the significance of Carney's upcoming China trip: "It's been nine years since a PM has been to China. It had been eight years since there had been a leader-to-leader meeting... This trip next week is a continuation of that turning point in the relationship."

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan.

More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded.

These 158 didn't make it home.

And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

This is a good piece. I want to give a shout out to William Whyte, a genius and a mentor to Jane Jacobs and more, who understood cities (and organizations) as much if not more than anyone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...

I love this article on the set design of Sesame Street and how it was influenced by Jane Jacobs’ ideas about vibrant urban spaces like the “sidewalk ballet” and “eyes on the street”. [kottke.org]
