In 2023, Shelton spoke to the Little Miami School District education board about Alice Oseman’s graphic novel Heartstopper, calling it a health risk. “I got sick from reading that stuff. I don’t think kids should ever question their sexuality, I don’t think kids should ever explore their sexuality.”

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

ICE was / is in my neighborhood today. I showed up to a local elementary school during pickup with lots of other concerned and caring neighbors. It felt good to do SOMETHING. I think I will continue doing that.
My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

White solidarity as the driving factor around Platner's support explains why he's backed by people on the Left, Bernie and Jacobian, but also by moderate Dems, the PodSaveAmerica guys and many Dem Senators. It's not left vs. center, it's white supremacy is unacceptable vs. white solidarity.

Why is @govpritzker.illinois.gov allowing Chicago PD to standby and do nothing to stop this?

“In the video, Griffin addressed the police officers as he was dragged away by the agents, saying “Officers, you’re letting this happen,” as an agent grabbed him by his neck and placed him in the SUV.”
STORY HERE — Video footage obtained by The TRiiBE shows federal agents pulling Laugh Factory Night Manager Nate Griffin as he holds on to a scaffold.

Bystanders screamed at the agents, saying "Show your face," as they detained Griffin.

Kevin Hassett's theory of tariffs: "China has got to sell a lot of stuff to us to maintain political stability. And so if we put a tariff on their stuff, then they cut the price so that our consumer is basically still able to demand as much stuff as they need to sell to be politically stable."

Federal agents raided the WRONG HOME in Portland—no warrant, guns drawn on a family with a baby. ICE still arrested 2 people after realizing the mistake. ICE official on the aggressive tactics: "If people interpret that as aggressive, so be it."

I've been really tempted to resubscribe to NYT just cause its annoying hitting the paywall but these headlines aren't even playing both sides, its just straight up being stenographers for the regime. It's not just lazy reporting, its just deliberately misinforming the public.
This enrages me. Honestly, you should just roll up the paper, throw it in the trash can, and join the White House Office of Communications if this is what you’re going to do these days.

They don’t even bother denying the corruption and grift.
Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

LEAVITT: I would respond and say the president is exercising his constitutional authority

Police have released bodycam footage from the first moments after yesterday’s Russian strike on a kindergarten in Kharkiv.

In it, officers are seen evacuating terrified children from the basement. The kids are visibly shaken. their building had just exploded above their heads.

My last supervisor in the military voted for Trump and the retired.

Betrayed her oath and then left her airmen to deal with the consequences of her vote. So disgusting.
i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.
