‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts
Armed with a revolver, the 16-year-old shooter systematically reloaded and fired as he wandered the school, trying to find new targets, police say.

NEW: Tonight, this is all that remains of Nepal's seat of government in Kathmandu.
Singha Durbar was the largest palace in Asia; home to the Prime Minister & government offices.
A 48-hour revolution, led by Gen Z protestors, has toppled the government & left large parts of the capital in flames.

The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things:
1. Cops are bad at their jobs
2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Thinking about the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and how Italy's security services blamed it on anarchists, arrested nearly 100 activists and threw one of them out the 4th floor window of the police station.
The bombing was carried out by a neo-fascist group with ties to the state security services.

conservatives are increasingly going to deal with issues because they treat a man being murdered in broad daylight and a beloved character being recast with a black actor as the exact same level of severity. everything is a crisis and the only acceptable response is to "crush" the enemy

whenever my cat complains about me not feeding him more than three times a day I have developed a habit of showing him great works of art that depict suffering (The Pieta, The Rape of Lucretia, The Fall of Nineveh) and explain in detail how his own pain greatly exceeds that depicted
