VAN HOLLEN: You suggested Alex Pretti was culpable for his own killing because he had a gun he was licensed to carry. Would you like to retract that statement?
BESSENT: I would not. Would you like to express remorse over the death of Ashli Babbitt here in the Capitol?

Government by, for, and of unpopular pudgy, deeply insecure right-wing trolls
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Or maybe, the laws you helped craft created a country where almost anyone can be armed to the teeth, and the less morally decent side understood that whether they controlled the state or not, they own more guns and so hold a de facto veto on civil violence, and the libs get shot first

The founders wrote the 2nd Amendment for a reason: So you could hold a cool gun while you nod approvingly at what the government is doing.
seeing conservatives admit alex pretti was disarmed and need to change their message to “well you know where you won’t get shot? at home” is just an impressive level of pathetic allegiance to their dictator

I don't want to pretend Trump is central to this, but his public position was to urge people to take to the streets while claiming the US would support them, then to do nothing at all...and after the slaughter to brag that he had prevented state violence against protesters. Flat-out evil.

Transforming the Twin Cities into a state of exception is a revolutionary act. Assembling a paramilitary to impose such a revolution by force is treason. It’s straightforward analysis. What’s hard is accepting such an action can be conducted so openly without anyone making it for what it is.
It’s currently operating totally outside of our constitutional rules. Habeas corpus , due process of law, equal protection, freedom of speech, 4th amendment protections against search and seizure, are all not being enforced in any common sense or meaningful way.

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.
