Every defense of another innocent person being murdered by the state yesterday seems to come down to “he shouldn’t be protesting the government”. A position that sits opposite of our founding principles and at odds with a free society.

Doesn’t the buck stop with the state government though? Like if any school is getting F grades from Kehoe doesn’t he also owe voters a plan to improve those schools? I never seem to hear that part from the leaders in our state.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
That is what was relayed

Josh Hawley folded like a lawn chair the second Trump called him. Shocked… guess it’s better than our other senator who’s so far up Trump’s backside that he could build a summer home.

This is very well done. The NYT journalist who made this should send it to the editors of the NYT whose landing page articles still amplify Trump lies about the victim, defending ICE murdering her.
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

If you’re upset about Trump accepting a kingdom-in-the-sky jet from the Saudi royal family you have to remember that Bill Clinton once said hello to Loretta Lynch before the 2016 election. Corruption on both sides.

Seriously, why is RFK Jr worried about dyes in food when his department is cutting safety standards for milk and chicken?
April 25, 2025 at 10:55 AM
Yep
“They put poison in the food, it makes us sick.“

The reality here is so fucking boring that it doesn’t stick on anyone’s head. What “they” did was make food cheap and “ultra palatable” which is the fancy phrase for “very yummy.”

Thats it. A huge part of the problem is that food is too good.

RFK Jr’s comments about autistic people made a lot of folks feel like they had to list their accomplishments.

To prove the value of their life.

Your value doesn’t depend on being able to meet work requirements or write poetry.

It just is.

Don’t let these sick men make you question your worth.

Well, Missouri boy, Billy Long, just had his debt paid off by folks with business in front of the IRS. Wonder how they will fair with Long as head of that agency…

Trump IRS Pick Was Just Enriched By Tax Schemers
New documents show Billy Long’s $130,000 personal debt was suddenly paid off by donors at firms policed by the tax agency he’d lead.

In fact, it is offensively ridiculous to think that any but a handful of people disappeared by ICE will be able to file habeas corpus, because it relies on them having informed families with connections to available knowledgeable lawyers with time and resources to act instantly.

Imagine if New York said “we buy all these vegetable from Missouri but they don’t buy our semiconductors.” So NY decided to tax themselves 25% every time they bought a vegetable from Missouri. Now you understand the current tariffs.

The war on empathy from the right has been the most jarring aspect of today’s political landscape to me.
Several years ago, I read a local news story about social emotional learning (SEL) in school. A bunch of the comments were from local people opposed to children learning empathy and I couldn’t believe it.

Now I know it’s true. MAGA folks hate empathy. They think it is a weakness.

It’s pretty clear
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
