Watching CNN for a couple of minutes after my movie. I think I could deal with the news much better if all of the anchors had British accents. Just a suggestion...

This is one byproduct of Trump using up all the MAGA people with attached brainstems in his first term and surrounding himself with nothing but toadies, trolls, Nazis and silicone: He and his people play only to their bubble, and they think they're winning as long as the echo chamber is happy.
a woman labeled a terrorist by US law enforcement and the White House is being simultaneously memorialized at NBA games and by major cultural icons. this regime is literally own-goaling itself to death. it’s cooked.

Look, I don't think it would be wise to protest ICE with a sign that reads WE'RE ALL SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS given how they seem to be violent, reckless assholes who will lash out at you because they desperately need to prove to themselves they're still Real Men.

The courts are ruling against Donald Trump yet again tonight.
A federal judge just blocked his unlawful funding freeze for child care and other critical programs in Illinois with a temporary restraining order.
His abuse of power against the families of this state won’t stand.

A lot of people, myself included, were saying as far back as 2015 that if this yutz ended up in the White House, he would become our own version of Hitler, and people wanted to argue semantics or tell us to calm down.
And here we are.

Gift link to the most frightening article I've ever read. Trump isn't just an existential threat to America; he's an extential threat to humanity. This is the scariest thing I've ever read in my life.

Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?
JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

This is what they did with 1/6, George Floyd and Sandy Hook. They will keep using their massive propaganda machine to confuse people and obscure the truth -- and it will work again if the Dems don't get out in front of cameras every hour of the day and literally scream bloody murder
Breaking:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

Unless you're Ashli Babbitt. Then fuck what a U.S. Capitol police officer tells you to do.
The legal standard is that if an officer is in fear for others or himself legitimately he can use lethal force to neutralize the threat. Fleeing or eluding has never been a standard for use of lethal force.

Any homicide detective or grand jury prosecutor who watches that video twice, interviews the witnesses and doesn't have that agent in handcuffs by week's end is not competent. If not in cuffs, then sought for extradition, because the asshole is now likely in transit to some other state.

Anyone withnessing the chaos and barbarism of the untrained thugs masquerading as law officers for the last nine months understands ICE is raw human trash gathered into a lawless street gang. That's all. This isn't policing. It isn't legal enforcement. It's just incompetent, undisciplined terror.

Rather than making it more affordable for families, Trump is stripping away child care from those just trying to go to work.
Thousands depend on these programs, and now their livelihoods are at risk.
It's wrong and cruel — we'll take every step possible to defend Illinoisians.

What we all know with a deep and righteous certitude is that Stephen Miller was that kid that every goddam day had do cede his lunch money to every school bully operant from fourth to ninth grade. I mean, they turned him upside down and shook him for coin.
And now, finally, he wants to get even.
