Folks, two things can true at the same time.

These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.
National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

The nonviolent moment was *not* peaceful.

The point was to draw out state violence, and be willing to face batons, water cannons, jail, and worse.

And Martin Luther King still got shot in the head— other civil rights leaders assassinated.

And now, civil rights progress is being rolled back.
retaliating tooth-tooth when bigots bring violence feels good in the moment

strategic non-violent civil disobedience wins in long term👇🏼

certainly do what you need to do in an individual encounter

I’m talking more about how to win in long term & end this madness

One central lesson of 1960s civil rights protests is that activists can “dramatize injustice” through strategic “narrative construction,” essentially creating compelling stories in the media with clear heroes and villains. More in this thread: bsky.app/profile/owas...

What an incompetent ass.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

Medicare has negotiated lower prices for 15 new drugs, including Ozempic.

This comes despite Trump pushing to repeal the law that made this possible — the Inflation Reduction Act — and his Big Ugly Bill exempting other high-price drugs from negotiations altogether.

The Trump admin is pushing to create large "compounds" to house Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied portions of Gaza. Israeli officials have said they should not be allowed to leave, raising fears of "concentration camps within a mass concentration camp."

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

As long as this president is allowed to remain, our nation will never be well, and we so easily could be well. It could all be so very simple. Impeachment, prosecution, removal.

Andrew Bailey was not a good Attorney General for Missouri, doing very little for Missourians. His main goal seemed to be trying to do things that would catch Trump's attention and apparently it worked.
Reports say Trump is considering removing FBI Director Kash Patel due to frustration over recent negative headlines. A separate report claims FBI Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey told staff he expects to move to DOJ soon and potentially become Attorney General.

Epstein's Alan Dershowitz?
I saw some teens today. I asked them who represents them best. They told me that Gen Alpha and Zoomers are on Tiktok and Instagram demanding more and more clips of Alan Dershowitz. They can’t get enough of him. He is the voice of their generation. The voice America needs.
