I suggest everyone look at the vitriol coming from the right these days. Go to any comment section on YouTube, or of course Twitter.

The right has people who will throw themselves at Congress to overthrow the government. Now. That's why Miller feels comfortable with his 38%.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree.

Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

with Putin division is the goal rather than ownership. It's why he juices up division in both the right and the left.

The KGB goal for the West 70 years ago was slow disintegration of alliances and chaos.

If you've never heard of this story, probably a good time.

No. I'm judging by what I'm seeing today. They would not have.

In fact, judging by today, the people who promised they needed 2A to stop a tyrant from putting federal troops on the street,

Clearly failed.

Gun bravado Is not patriotism. As demonstrated right now

I don't know, have you heard of any National guard officers refusing to carry out an illegal order?

The military is not going to save us either.

I'm sorry for being so negative Jake. Things are getting dark.

I get a really good feeling for Germany descended into Hitler. That question everybody asks all the time, "why did the good people let it happen?"

Because we are still dealing in good faith with the system. Because we know what happens when we stop dealing in good faith

I guess my question is, are the Chinese fans being rude, or is it just Americans at Ryder cups that can be rude?

If you have a bad cough, you shouldn't go to the symphony. You will be asked to leave politely if you go.

But pretending to have a cough at the symphony to heckle the orchestra..

Remind the right wing how they act when she was being abused in Israeli custody, I'm sure you've seen their comments online

The same people who complained about how Charlie was treated after his death. Poor little mugga victims. Win or lose they always whine.

Steve Fonyo. Shell gave him a company card for gas for the marathon RV. His dad filled the RV and came in and added two cartons of cigarettes. 20 packs.

On a marathon to fight cancer.

Never meet your Heroes. Told me a lot about him and his dad.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 1d

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

@guardtheleaf.bsky.social there goes Cuba off my visit list. At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, I think the Cuban government was actively stopping them from going.

Anton Gerashchenko @antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 1d

Up to 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia.

It is reported that Cubans are promised about $2,000 per month - far more than they can earn at home. It is also possible that they are promised jobs in construction but then sent to the frontlines.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Most people who throw Katie Johnson's name around have never read this affidavit from her case, which is actually the worst and most damning of trump and Epstein

This was from Epstein's recruiter who saw a 12 and 13-year-old girl being raped over 4 days.

Serious question, how much capital is needed to start up a new newspaper in America?

And if those kicked out from the Washington Post and other good newspapers banded together, would it simply implode from bickering?
