This DC shooting story has been so terribly handled. First they were both dead. Then they were dead again. They had the shooter and Patel thought they didn’t. Now they’re critical.
Now Pirro is saying it ‘was a challenge to law and order’ so Shitler can leverage it into more troops.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

And last night’s EO, which of course doesn’t carry the weight of law, is nonetheless an indicator that they intend to strip naturalized US citizens of their citizenship for any reason they choose, and send people they deem undesirable to camps and/or to their deaths here or abroad.

They will take every incident as an opportunity to ramp up violence against marginalized people.
Miller will not be satisfied until this nation is in final solution territory against every immigrant.
They are showing us that daily.
We can’t fight it if we don’t speak it. This is where we are.

Seems like all the fascists in charge had a really shitty Thanksgiving because everyone hates them and now they’re taking it out on marginalized people as per usual, and this is but one reason why they must never, never, never be permitted to take power ever again.

Same. I’m so angry about it. The US made him, granted him asylum, then threatened Afghan asylum status, and this outcome is the result.
None of this happened in a vacuum.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Once again, you now live in a country where there are two classes of citizenship, & those of us who hold the second class variety can apparently lose ours if we do not show good behavior to Dear Leader & the far right authoritarian party.
The President of the United States promising a policy of mass denaturalization of citizens "who undermine domestic tranquility"
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.
