The murder of Alex Pretti has dominated the media but no one is talking about the real root cause of the shooting.
It wasn't his decision to bring a gun to a protest. That's legal.
It was the officer's decision to escalate to the use of force and physically assault protesters.

That ICE agent had no right to get violent in the first place.

Every protester should be armed. You will find ICE learning how to de-escalate real quick.

There's a very decent chance Democrats win both house and Senate this year. If they do, the first priority is to end the filibuster and shut Trump's administration down.

The affordability crisis is caused by excessively available financing.
Financing allows the demand for something to rise independently from wages.
The purchases which are the most dominated by financing, have seen the greatest rises in price vs median income.

You don't trust the government with your tax money...
You don't trust them to administer welfare or healthcare...
But you trust them with the power to execute their own citizens?

You want to require ID to vote?
Fine, but then the accepted forms of ID must be free to obtain or it's a poll tax and you're violating the 24th amendment.

A true American patriot who reveres the foundational principles of liberty enshrined in the constitution should become nauseated by the mere appearance of an executive branch that moves to punish dissent, disrespect, or disloyalty to itself.

Did anyone ever consider that perhaps congress should hold the authority to institute tariffs and not the president?
This could be a winning issue in future congressional elections.
Most corporate oligarchs would support that agenda like their lives depended on it.

"Due process" means that the government must take fair and objective efforts to find if someone is guilty, and give them a chance to defend themselves before you punish them on mere suspicion.
If you don't understand why that's vitally important...

The only reason markets aren't down more than 15% right now is that some investors are still clinging to hope that Trump will reverse course on these tariffs before they are implemented.
If he doesn't, the market has a long way to drop ahead.
