100% police instigated.
Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers?

I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing.

“I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

The crowd in Asbury Park, NJ might’ve been as big as the dictatorship perade in DC. It was definitely more enthusiastic.

Thank you to all who stood for democracy yesterday!
