As this story shows, trusting the DHS version of events is a big mistake.
"the video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez."

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

First Derrick Van Orden (R-CTE) insisted the rest of us are idiots because only he knows the senate requires 60 votes to pass all bills... now he insists George Wallace was once president.
It's easy to mock him; he's a fascist dick. But he also may be genuinely brain injured

Trump’s schemes for world domination include the invasion and annexation of Canada. This is not a drill. This is not a joke.
This is an evil, megalomaniacal plot.
Trump’s insistence that Canada is not a real country is eerily similar to Vladimir Putin’s arguments in the run-up to his invasion…

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us.

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint.
No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.

👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID
1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.
2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices.
We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Easy to think here that we're all overwhelmed by the news & aware of much of it. As a professor, though, I get to talk to large groups of educated, lib/left young people, *majority* of whom have only the barest awareness of what's happening. So talk to your IRL friends. You'll be surprised.
