This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

“Protesting in this country is sacred, and so it is important that our rights are protected and that we are not criminalized for peacefully protesting in a world full of escalating violence."
Michigan Organizer Speaks After Being Arrested Live on Camera For Protesting Trump Venezuela Attack
A 22-year-old woman was detained for hours by police in Grand Rapids for speaking out against Trump's invasion of Venezuela. Arrested for peacefully protesting, she was targeted for her activism. Why are peaceful protesters being criminalized in a country that values free speech?

I am once again asking the media to treat it as a huge fucking scandal that the Vice President of the United States has pickled his brain in white supremacist, antisemitic garbage babble
Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”

A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

“The only way to tell is the name and the nose.”

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Yep, they are bonkers.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

The economy right now is like a plane where the pilot is pointing at the instruments and saying it's “all clear,” but most of the passengers are gripping the armrests. If you’re the pilot (or president), you can’t just point at the dashboard—you need to calm the cabin.

Stole top secret documents

Now, war crimes too
There was no fog of war after all. Just a war crime.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.

The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.
It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

📌If these anti-American fascists will come after a patriot like Mark Kelly, they'll damn sure come after you.
They are desperate, have no ideas for improving America, and stand with a woman-abusing, draft-dodging, America-attacking goon, who is rotting from the inside out.

They must be stopped.

Trump shared a QAnon slogan—“the military is the only way”—and imagery calling for “military tribunals.” Combined with calling for the execution of Members of Congress, this is an extraordinary authoritarian escalation and a grave threat to constitutional rule.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
