Can you imagine your child being shot in school, and having the worst day of your life *overshadowed* by a different shooting, whose aftermath somehow will be leveraged to make it more likely more shootings will occur in the future?
Three people, at least two of whom are students, were shot and critically injured at a high school outside Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday afternoon, the authorities said.
3 Are Shot and Critically Injured at Colorado High School, Authorities Say
The attack took place on the campus of Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colo., which is southwest of Denver, according to the local sheriff’s office. At least two of the victims are students.

This EO is the culmination of bipartisan efforts at the state level (including blue states like CA) to persecute and criminalize people who are homeless by busting up their camps, impounding their vehicles, wrecking their homes, and chasing them deeper into danger

Nazi population cleansing also ran on two tracks: they went after marginalized groups who were perceived as unproductive (eg the disabled) and minorities whose apparent industriousness was perceived as a threat to the dominant group (Jews)

Jesus. Paramount's FCC petition to transfer broadcast licenses to Skydance has been pending for months. Tuesday, Paramount and Trump filed papers to dismiss his suit after Paramount paid up. Today, FCC approved the transfer. 48 hours. If that's not a bribe.. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/something-...
Something is rotten in the FCC
Paramount gave in to Trump. What they get in exchange might not be what they expect

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order.
The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care.

They did a mass firing of staff at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. These are the people who handle the safety of our nuclear stockpile. This is so catastrophically bad.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

So ya see, the thing about Americans is that we are deeply selfish and individualistic and 90% of our population is incapable of admitting they’ve ever done anything wrong in their lives. So now half our country is demonically possessed while the other half argues about who botched the exorcism.
