To reiterate: aiming a firearm at a non-violent bystander who is not resisting arrest or posing any threat is an illegal use of force and possibly a crime.

This ICE agent should be investigated for misconduct. No one is above the law.

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

What was this all for? trib.al/IzCjRMD

The shutdown was about cuts to Obamacare subsidies. It was about an increasingly lawless administration that simply stopped participating in normal politics.

A few days ago, the Democrats had all the leverage in the world. What is there to say now?

There are now cement trucks entering the White House construction site, which is not what you'd expect for a project that hasn't been reviewed by anyone yet.

The White House has previously said no NCPC approvals are needed yet because they're just doing demo, not construction.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

🎯🧵"I now understand after reading this book why enslavers feared any free Black men, whether from foreign or domestic ships, intermixing with their enslaved population."
Finished reading @juliagaffield.bsky.social 's biography of Jeans-Jaques Dessalines, one of the founding fathers of Haiti. The book is a story of what Dessalines did versus the way he has been sometimes inaccurately portrayed for political reasons as a bloodthirsty unthinking man unfit to rule. 1/

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Or both
Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said.
He's completely out of touch, or just lying.

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

In a single day, two different federal officers point guns at two different @chicagotribune.com photojournalists in and around Chicago. This is dangerous stuff.
1/2 Are there any experts out there who can correctly identify the weapons being pointed directly at these two @chicagotribune.com photojournalists?

What type of gun is this?

When I lived in a cultish community, they often used “unity” as a method to silence those who expressed disagreement or who were victimized by the system.

Same dynamic here. One sided “unity.” Unity for me, not for thee.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
