The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

The argument that we need Greenland for national security rings hollow.
According to Danish officials & defense histories, dozens of U.S. military installations & bases in Greenland are closed, leaving only 1 active base.
If it is so strategic to our national defense, why do we only have 1 base ?

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

If your going to yell at ice, just tell them to go to church. If they say they do, explain they need to avoid satanic churches.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

⚠️Wow... This is major! According to @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social, Meta had a policy in place to prevent scam ads from being detected by regulators. It's reminiscent of the "diesel dupe" scandal from a decade ago, when major carmakers were accused of using “cheat” software to fake emissions results.
We got Meta’s “general global playbook” for defeating advertiser verification regulations, which the company knows would reduce scams. It includes making scam ads “not findable” for regulators searching Meta’s ad library through targeted scrubbing.
