“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows.
“No,” an agent replies. “Back up.”
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care.”
“No,” an agent replies. “Back up.”

‘I’m a physician,’ he said. ‘Don’t care’ was the reply.
Bystander medical assistance was declined during the restraint-related death of George Floyd, and now after the shooting of Renee Good.

As much as I was hoping to see a crime under Minnesota law here, I don't. Under the circumstances, I think he was justified in driving away.
Right-wing influencer Nick Sortor was surrounded by anti-ICE protesters last night in Minneapolis, who laughed at him and mocked him.
So he decided to drive straight through a group of them—and then post the video to Twitter...

It's quite terrifying to imagine a marginally more politically competent administration that has the same goals, and the booby prize we may get is JD Vance, who will probably be exactly that.
i appreciate this president's commitment to angering absolutely every single constituency in the entire country, no matter what you do or what your politics are, there's something to fucking hate from them

This is not something they can sustain - they're working conditions that would be miserable for a day, much less a week, much less an career. I am worried they're going to shoot more people, but Derek Chauvin and Jonathan Ross are household names and none of them want that.
I got extremely up close with a bunch of them earlier and they looked miserable. One was visibly shaking. Every single time they get out of their vehicles it's a madhouse, in a city where every person is their enemy. They're outnumbered 100-1 by people screaming at them in almost incoherent rage
that's not the face of an angry or scary guy that guy is on the verge of tears

That sense really is pervasive - that many Dems are annoyed they have the responsibility of dealing with this moment, and wish they let someone else handle it while keeping the job. And it comes through every time they dismiss the fury and passion of their own base as an irritation.
Yes the spirit is missing, but first the vision and desire is missing. Lincoln wanted the job because he recognized the moment and wanted the responsibility.
Dem leaders feel owed the position and are offended responsibility should be forced upon them.

REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that?
TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.
