Also, if we’re being blunt, the purpose of nonviolent resistance isn’t to avoid getting your ass kicked. It’s to dare them to kick your ass as brutally and publicly as possible.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I don't want to speak rashly here, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the Trump administration is *not* actually concerned with holding pedophiles to account?
It's largely been lost in the chaos of the last month, but Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is trying to doxx the John Does who sued her for (allegedly) allowing them to be raped by grown men when they were kids and (allegedly) covering it up
@brandonthurston.bsky.social has a write-up:
@brandonthurston.bsky.social has a write-up:
Vince and Linda McMahon file oppositions to ring boy plaintiffs' request to maintain anonymity in lawsuit - POST Wrestling | Podcasts, News, Reviews | WWE AEW NXT NJPW
McMahons say "John Doe" anonymity will unfairly hinder their ability to find witnesses to clear them. WWE takes no position on pseudonyms.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Regardless of one’s feeling about it, such a public response to a political leader is news, and deliberately failing to mention it is self-censorship. It’s like if reporters agreed not to report on the man who threw a shoe at George Bush. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

BREAKING:
New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:
"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

So either
1. Trump tweeted it & they lied that a staffer did it*
2. The "staffer" that tweeted it was the Deputy Chief of Staff
3. Other staffers have access & one of them did it and
a. Trump doesn't know that but is willing to speak confidently about it anyway**
b. Trump knew that but is lying**

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.
