He also gutted the VA of at least 150 psychologists and 500 social workers. I'm sure they weren't doing anything important.
that's why they put that stupid "through the governor" thing at the top.
About to be the family that owns TikTok.
“An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused, so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train.”
the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
1. At Charlie Kirk's vigil just now, DNI Tulsi Gabbard just invoked MLK Jr.'s line, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that." She insisted Kirk "lived" by that line.
Unclear how Kirk would've felt about that comparison, since he decried MLK as “awful” and "not a good person."
Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. But America did not deserve the hate he spewed.
His specific hate aginst the Civil Rights Act, MLK, transgender Americans, most college students, the daughter of George Floyd and many others are now silent.
God will judge him for all the harm he has caused.
Far right conservatives control every branch of the federal government and many state governments as well, yet they are desperate to be seen as victims.
Meanwhile in Korean media there is clarity that Trump directed this raid out of spite following his Oval Office meeting with the ROK President, who pushed back aggressively on Trump's praise for the North Korean dictator. They're right. US media have no clue of what's going on.
When people asked me about Trump in 2016, this was one of the things I noted was missing from a full rollover to concentration camp regime status: a large offensive armed force loyal to the president active nationwide. We need to do as much as possible to limit their reach and hold them accountable.
It’s really not appreciated how committed our institutional elites are to making sure there’s never ever another moment like 2020 and the George Floyd protests. They believe this was the lowest point of their lives, they’re embarrassed it happened and they think *they* fueled/started it.
ICE, America's first interior police, are not being built up, at the cost of billions, just to monitor immigration

Brett Meiselas: Trump sending the National Guard into LA wasn’t about immigration or riots. Into DC wasn’t about crime. Attacks on Harvard weren’t about anti-Semitism. This is all about capturing our government, culture, and society. An authoritarian power grab. Wake the f— up.
NEW: Inside the culture of fear that has taken hold within Smithsonian museums in D.C., as White House officials wage an authoritarian-style censorship campaign to “ensure alignment” with Trump’s preferred version of American history.

Think about all the tech bros who caved immediately
President Donald Trump has said very little about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking victims, but the story is different inside the White House, according to a new report.
Trump launched a violent attack against his own capital. He has used the military in two U.S. cities. He has made excuses for Putin’s deadly war at every turn as strikes have doubled. He has told Bibi to finish the job in Gaza. He has threatened Canada, Mexico and Denmark.
Fuck Politico.
Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.
This was never about crime. This is about power and control (and distracting from the Epstein files)
If a Democratic president were doing this to Republican-controlled areas of the country Republicans would be losing their minds.
New in PN: The slide toward "competitive authoritarianism"
"Orbán subverted Hungary’s democracy with gerrymandering and by creating a nationwide right-wing media network. He put loyalists in the public prosecutor’s office, ensuring the judicial system would go after his enemies. Sound familiar?"
JFC. Raping children is fine as long as they don't object.

Always a dentist or chiropractor in this kinda bullshit
RFK Jr assembled the world's greatest pseudoscience quackery to try and attack mRNA #vaccines. Epic fail.
Let's start with this: "The lead compiler is a dentist."

Americans are being conditioned to think of crime as an urban issue. Ask why.
Alabama's murder rate is far higher than New York City's.
Urban crime is not worse than rural crime. It's just more visible. In cities everything is more visible.
So be careful what you blame city leaders for.
Officer Daniel Hodges: "FEMA cut financial assistance to D.C. by like 44%. That's money that we need that could be used to fight crime."
Q: "So you think there are things the federal government could do to help, it's just not what is happening now?"
Officer Daniel Hodges: "Ya."
man, the guy who was president during covid sounds awful
(yes, Charlie Kirk was on CNBC this morning)
Only authoritarian despots perpetually use a nation's military on its own citizens.
The use of phrase "quick reaction force" is what Oath Keepers used during the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection.

Antivaxxers love accusing scientists of censorship but in reality they are the ones trying censor science.
RFK just tried bullying a scientific journal into retracting a major study of 1.2 M kids that found that aluminum in vaccines do not increase the risk of autism or asthma. The journal refused.
