Armed, vested cop fires point blank shots at unarmed woman in car. And President Gut-hang wants you to believe he was something other than a rageful jackboot.

They can call it redrum all they want but it was MURDER. In broad daylight, with witnesses, on tape. And that dude’s cuffs need to he snapped around his own wrists pronto.

There’s not a shred of visual evidence yet that any ICE agent so much as tore a fingernail while killing an innocent woman.

We must not meekly submit. Great example of civic action.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Let me state the obvious that seemingly needs restated. You can BOTH condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, and still disagree with what he said.

The Republican Party as it is currently constituted will destroy the United States — politically, economically, socially and culturally. The democratic reform of our federal system isn't only justified in itself, but necessary to force its moderation into a party compatible with liberal democracy.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist. He was one of the most anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian voices in MAGA. He propagandised xenophobia about the border to justify withdrawing military support for Ukraine.

Centrists should understand progressives aren’t going away, nor will all be convinced of the errors of their ways.

The anti-fascist common front needs each wing to tolerate the other.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
