So it's not training or experience. Being a murderous thug is the point.
At no point have they said, "No, this was bad." This is what they want.

The default assumption that your presence means the people around you want to murder you is something else.
Noem: This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.

Voicing any support for ICE and DHS is increasingly politically radioactive. Reps in swing districts had better learn this quickly.
DHS signed its own death warrant today

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

A 1,000 simulations of a meal consisting of a nuggie, a bit of broccoli and a tortilla. These are not the words of a real human person.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Renee Nicole Good’s queerness isn’t an aside—it’s a key part of her story | Xtra Magazine
We can’t ignore the misogyny and homophobia baked into Good’s killing—and erasing her wife does just that

I'm here for this brand of positive Dem messaging.
It has come to my attention that yet again many Dems think that Mamdani is the only one doing anything.
This is the second week of my new series proving that wrong.

People forget that Gandolfini did his promotional appearances for the final season in a "Love is Love" tee.
i was the only home whose cable didn’t go out when the sopranos finale aired and it showed tony looking up and seeing two guys walk into the restaurant holding hands. then it cut back to tony shrugging, which you have to understand in 2007 was a very powerful statement

Obviously, start with "Solo" and experience their joy watching the original films and instantly knowing where he got his blaster and why they called him Solo.
Starting an adult with Andor is crazy. Imagine hearing about the Emperor in meetings and then three or four movies later you find out he looks a thousand years old and shoots lightning out of his little T Rex arms.
Showing my partner Star Wars for the first time and we’re starting with Andor. It’s amazing how every other TV show in this universe is like “look at these little guys” and Tony Gilroy said “There is COINTELPRO in Space.”

Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."
