It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

All my life we've heard explanations and justifications from the police after an "incident." For most of that time it was their word against the victims'. For the past 10 or 15 years we've had video from multiple angles, but the police keep telling us the same stories. They think we can't see it.
A person who said they witnessed federal agents shoot and kill Alex Jeffrey Pretti submitted a sworn statement in court disputing the federal government’s account of the shooting. “I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong,” the person said in the statement.

BREAKING: Trump’s thugs just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis. Eyewitnesses are describing it as an execution.
We cannot keep living like this and people can’t keep dying like this. Stop funding DHS. Impeach Kristi Noem. Hold these agents accountable.

If senior officers carry out what Trump is threatening against NATO, “the officers and enlisted people below them will likely obey the chain of command”—and “such an outcome would be a tragedy, and potentially a global catastrophe,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OtxpMxan

Trump has always acted as Putin's agent and will continue to do so. It was never a "hoax."
Trump has approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The deeply troubling details now circulating show what Trump wants: to help the Russian president,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues, “and to weaken Ukraine, perhaps fatally.”

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?
TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

FIFA should take the entire World Cup away from the US. Too many fans and players from abroad are going to be denied visas or otherwise have problems.
World Cup host sites aren’t up to President Donald Trump.
The 11 U.S. cities — plus three in Mexico and two in Canada — are contracted with FIFA, which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff. https://to.pbs.org/3J0dtaK

Imagine what the press would have said if President Biden had given such a speech. I know, it's pointless. You could say that every day about whatever Trump says, but instead we get more reports about how old Biden is.
