kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Russian state TV: “I can’t rule out an alliance between Russia & 🇺🇸— Americans have just demonstrated they won’t protect anything.”

They fantasize about attacking Europe now that Trump destroyed NATO — and push Trumpian disinfo about Alex Pretti & Minnesota.

Quick idea. For the righties defending the shooting, go into their profile, hit the search button, type in “second amendment” and then post some screenshots

If @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wasn’t a feckless coward, he would have whipped these votes, and the DHS bill would have failed, 213-214.

These 7 Dems are traitors who support ICE terrorism, & House Dem leadership has made themselves complicit by refusing to even ATTEMPT to talk them into voting no
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207

7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Clueless US media understand Trump's shut down of Atlantic coast wind farms as just some vague national security thing about radar or as Trump's weird ideas about alternative energy. But in Denmark, this is immediately understood for what it is: a shakedown against two large Danish companies,

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

NEW: The Trump administration's brutal removal of so many workers is projected to shrink the nation’s GDP by as much as 6.8% — a deeper hit than the one sustained during the Great Recession.

By a 2 to 1 margin, Americans say Trump has gone too far in trying to expand the power of the presidency and lay off government workers. And by large margins, they say he has gone too far in sending troops into cities, attacking universities and ending DEI programs.
3 in 5 Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance, the highest level since after the Jan. 6 attack. Americans disapprove even of his handling of issues historically favorable to him like immigration, crime and the economy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Voters divided on midterms despite broad Trump disapproval, poll finds
Most Americans disapprove the president’s handling of top issues, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising his powers.
