These photos are terrifying (as opposed to stunning). Black women have been killed in these kind of scenarios long before Trump.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Lots of Trump’s remarks are what I think of as “threesome jokes.” As in “Ha ha, of course I wasn’t serious about having a threesome with your friend. Unless you’re into it, in which case, how about Saturday?”
Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny?

Trump probably would have vetoed a war powers resolution if it passed the Senate anyway, but I’d like to be on the record as stating that Josh Hawley and Todd Young are a pair of spineless little gullible bitches for letting the White House flip them.
