WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.
DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

As member of Team Atheism, I agree with this in principle, but in practice it doesn’t really fly. The Black Church is a foundational part of the Dem coalition, see Warnock, and other denominations appear to be trending left, looking at you young Mormons.
So, I see Andy Beshear has a book out offering himself up as the latest Bible-thumping Dem (see James Talarico.) Folks, if you think competing for evangelicals is the Dem path to victory...no. If you think we need more religion in US politics...no. Religion in politics is a problem not a solution.

Watching people scream bloody murder about how it’s too soon to be thinking about the ‘28 Presidential primary when people started talking about Bernie’s 2020 run in December 2016.

Yeah, we definitely should. Namely, how a bunch of lefty types thirsting for their white working class hero rallied around Fetterman because he looked and acted the part, when a solid progressive like Malcolm Kenyatta was right there and basically ignored.

Sorry to belabor this but Weiss is achieving exactly what she was sent to do -- to destroy CBS News on behalf of the aged rich rightwing rageclowns who demand vengeance for Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather.
Quit thinking about it as a failure. At worst, she's been duped. But the mission is clear.

The fact that RW media is focusing on the RI shooters gender identity, and is utterly ignoring the SS bolts behind a Death’s Head tattoo, really tells you what they’re willing accept. Nazis rank higher than Trans people.
i’ve noticed how nothing’s been said about the shooter’s tattoos or extremely far right views espoused on social media (e.g. nick fuentes fandom)

Virtue signaling is good actually. What was bad about “cancel culture,” such as it was, was the tendency to hector and mob random, relatively powerless people for anything from thoughtless transgressions to actual misunderstandings.
