Kyle Rittenhouse traveled to another community with an assault rifle and the cops threw him a bottle of water and said they were glad he was there.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I have a hard time imagining a strike during the conference championships, but what if players took a knee today?
On all four teams?
Trump and company care about what happens in football.
This is a message that would be heard loud and clear.
Kaepernick showed us the way.

At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.
I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.

Between Mamdani and Spanberger, the establishment of "instantly repeal all the bullshit the last pig put in place" as Democratic priority #1 for both democratic socialists and ex-CIA types is an extremely heartening development.
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

If you’re scared of a Honda Pilot driving less than 5 miles an hour, with its wheels pointing away from you, you should not be working in law-enforcement…
You shouldn’t have a gun. You shouldn’t have a badge. You should find a new line of work.

I could never understand how Hitler and the Nazis managed to brainwash so many German people. We are now experiencing a living example. The only bright spot is our current administration's gaslighting doesn't seem to be working on a large enough scale. Let's pray that sanity holds.
