Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

B&W image from the discussion last night after ACTION AT A DISTANCE from Fay/Glassman Duo & Theater Grottesco at Chicago's Facility Theater. A tremendous work of engaged theater that I heartily reco to anyone who values *paying attention*. #photography #theater

Kavanaugh says the kidnapped child was merely inconvenienced
LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

How much longer is the Republican Party going to let this clown lead them around by the chain?
Trump seems even more unhinged than usual in these new videos. The transition at the 40-second mark alone is just bizarre: "Leave them alone! WARNING!"

He's shouting and almost slurring his words, to say nothing of the fact that he's threatening to start a new war against Nigeria.

My three-year-old was listening to the Tucker Carlson show when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the shitlibs cancel Adolf Hitler?" And when I told her "Because he was the only world leader who had the guts to stand up for white people," she started crying.

People love to question what SNAP recipients buy. Newsflash: eating healthy isn’t a moral achievement—it’s a privilege. When rent eats your paycheck and eggs cost like gold, choosing kale over ramen isn’t about willpower, it’s about access. #Pinks #MomSky
