I used to think ‘Well thank god we all have cameras, at least we can maybe get ahead of the lies’ but if this is how the paper of record describes an event captured from like 4 different angles alongside dozens of eye witness accounts corroborating, I just don’t know anymore man
"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.

John Fetterman has not yet commented on the ICE murder, as he has been taken in by a kindly blind hermit who is unable to be horrified by his visage

Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.
Sigh. The NPR national news brief at the top of the hour mentioned the shooting and simply cited the DHS statement.
I truly don't think mainstream journalists in the U.S are prepared to cover state violence

I just don’t know why my message on affordability - which I’m cynically ripping off of Mamdani and trying to employ at the national level with no real effort or genuine interest, in response to a senile fascist who has already kidnapped a foreign leader with eyes on further expansion - isn’t landing
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

When you go by a house and it has all harsh blueish lightbulbs instead of the nice warm ones… well nothing good goes on in that house I’ll tell you that much

Personally I do think it’s very cool when you spend 2 years working on a project about a sport you love and then some guy takes the transcripts of it to spit out an AI script for himself to read over a YouTube video for money. Thanks David!!!!!
Love seeing my friend @johncullen.bsky.social’s hard work on Broomgate get chewed up and shit out into some dickhead’s video essay for morons. But hey at least he linked to the podcast he stole in the description!

Moving out of the city and up into the Hudson Valley was so good for me and my wife. We have great nature trails, quaint shops, and now we live 5 minutes from the kidnapped leader of a sovereign nation
Captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has just landed at New York Stewart International Airport in Orange County. Now in U.S. custody, Maduro is expected to face charges in federal court.

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.
