I spent an hour watching today live. I had to disconnect from it for a bit.
Conclusion that's easy to reach is one I reached a long time ago: None of this should be happening, ICE shouldn't in the streets, the military shouldn't be in the streets, and the blame goes right to the White House.

I agree
I remember how I felt after frantically posting right around the time of renee good and - i was a little a little bit afraid to go back and see what the heck I said.
I'm trying to do the opposite.

The problem the Trump administration has now is its persistent pattern of lying means that when it mouths the mantra "the agent feared for his life" to justify killing a civilian, people rightly just don't believe it. When you then don't investigate the shoot, people rightly are even more suspect.

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters.
I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

The policy had nothing to do with fighting antisemitism and everything to do with suppressing legitimate and constitutionally protected criticism of Israel.

Anyone catch the slogan Kristi Noem used a few days ago? It said “ONE OF OURS ALL OF YOURS”. Want to take a guess where that is token from? In 1942 two men attacked a high ranking nazi, after his death the Nazis went to the city of the men and killed all men and boys. One Nazi= All of them.

Trump Hasn’t Thought This War Through
By attacking Venezuela, Trump now has both “inside” and “outside” problems with no easy solutions

Snapshot: A Deeply Appalling Press Conference
It's worse than I thought. Trump plans to "run" Venezuela and does not pretend he cares about anything beyond taking the oil.

By rebranding genocidal rhetoric and violent misogyny as “edgy jokes,” JD Vance provides a permission structure for extremism. And he’s signaling to the next generation of Republican leaders that this language is not a career-ender but an acceptable way to signal loyalty to the MAGA base.
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

But Fox sits tight after its host Brian Kilmeade says homeless people should be euthanized (followed later by a weak 30-second apology).
ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this:
“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”
