Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

This is my favorite conservative thing btw.

They love guys who talk tough but who the median person in this country acknowledge as completely fucking useless to their communities.

Meanwhile they denegate people who are connective tissues and care about the people in their communities.

Black is a Presbyterian pastor who has done anti-poverty work in Chicago since 2020. He grew up in an evangelical household and went to seminary for years, he didn't pay a site online 25 dollars.

My understanding from my nun friends is he's spent most of his time working on running a free pantry.

A Newsmax host defended ICE agents shooting a minister in the head with a pepper ball by falsely claiming he was “actually an antifa member masquerading as a pastor.”

Amazing that Bob Ross' paintings are still posthumously supporting public television.

PBS News @pbsnews.org · 3d

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

When US citizens are deported by ICE it's called human trafficking.

Having basic standards for human rights and equity is not a "purity test", however shitting your pants online because someone makes the slightest, soft ball critique of your candidate is.

New pointing Spider-Man meme just dropped.

A juxtaposition of two screenshots from Fox News shows host Jesse Watters interviewing a masked guest who appears to be the same person in both images. In the top image, the guest is labeled “Former Antifa Member Speaks Out” and wears a green cap and black patterned face covering. In the lower image, the same man, now identified as “Ramon ‘Mundo’ Mendoza, Mexican Mafia Encyclopedia Author,” wears a black cap and balaclava. The caption beneath the second screenshot reads: “Ex-gang member says Chauvin attacker’s story doesn’t add up — AlphaNews.org.”

This violence is the inevitable result of Donald Trump and other fascists cranking up the temperature in the aftermath of Kirk’s death. Blaming Democrats and pretending he was some kind of martyr instead of just another victim of senseless gun violence.

Of course, radicalization was the point.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 5d

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

I suspect a party platform of 1) turning back every Trump action and policy, 2) arresting every employee of ICE for involvement in or abetting of crimes against humanity, would do very well.
