If this didn’t happen domestically, it would be a war crime.

It should be a crime to fire at civilians within the United States within certain distances.

We have never seen civil disobedience *or even outright riots* in which short-range is anything but punitive and cruel—it doesn’t aid control.
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting
Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

"Trump and many leaders on the right are vowing to use this tragedy to do what they’ve always wanted to do anyway: to make this a more authoritarian society..."

Blunt and absolutely true from @mjtoma.bsky.social:

Every Shooting Is a Tragedy—and a Chance for the Right to Play Bully
Some on the right are genuinely in mourning. But from Trump on down, they’re using Charlie Kirk’s murder to create a more authoritarian society.

Republicans deliberately delayed the most damaging effects of their so-called “big, beautiful bill” until after the midterms, hoping to avoid accountability for how they are hurting people. But much of the damage is already happening.

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.

He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.

He says they “dysregulate the immune system”.

Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive”

Eugenics.

This is HUGE.

For those wondering why due process is essential for EVERYONE. This is why!
Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
