Collins: I'm not sure I've ever been in a cabinet meeting covering the president, where he did not take questions from reporters. He called on a handful of cabinet secretaries, but one that he notably did not call on was Kristi Noem

Repubs: Children being mowed down in schools is acceptable price for having guns.

Also Repubs: If you carry a gun and we don’t like you, we will execute you and blame you for your own murder bc you had a gun.

Bessant should just shut his trap!
Obviously he was lying about the phone call between Carney/Trump. He didn’t have a rebuke to Carneys rebuttal of the call.
Perhaps the US 🇺🇸 should take their own advice 🖕🏼🤬

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Right now Trump is giving a “pump up the base” speech and nobody gives a crap.

You can practically hear the pages of history turning on this soiled chapter.

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”

Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

On this day in 1945, the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau exposed the scale of Nazi crimes to the world and became a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust, the resilience of its survivors, and the guilt of its enablers.

Elie Wiesel warned that, “to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that “Never Again” is always true.

“Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow & ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehood. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement, seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy .. the vision.”

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

As I said when I visited ICE facilities and met with communities across New Jersey this week: I will not vote for another dollar for this out-of-control Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

Greg Bovino: "We will not allow violence..... get vilolent criminals off the streets..." This what he said after they shot an American citizen for what looked like he was trying to help a lady. If they only said things like this after a school mass shooting.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
