In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse.

There are many reasons why political violence should be rejected with few exceptions that don't apply here. There's principle — the pre-political worth of a human being — but if that doesn't grab you, there's also the spectacle of your political opponents being canonized as saints.
