I haven’t watched football for a while. Today, the audio mix seems off. The crowd noise is so loud I can’t understand what the commentators are saying. Is it just me?

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS
Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”
The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

On this day in 1859 Robert E Lee—who would go on to break his oath to the United States and commit treason by taking up arms against the country he swore to defend—hung John Brown for following the Golden Rule, and attempting to free the enslaved humans that monsters like Lee brutalized.
John Brown vs. Robert E. Lee: Who Was the Patriot, and Who the Traitor? — The John Brown Project
TL;DR:
John Brown fought and died to end slavery. Robert E. Lee killed to keep it. Yet somehow Brown is labeled a terrorist and Lee a hero.
It's time to flip that narrative and tell the truth about w...

They are doing racism again.
Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.
