DHS again says people they shot tried to run them over, and that it was a “defensive shot.”

But a witness says victim backed up & forward, hitting a car, then driving off — and that officers fired “about five shots as it left.”

Did agents open fire at a car driving away again?

Bari Wiess will not say what she wants not because she doesn't want it, or because she doesn't know that she wants it, but because she wants to appear as if she doesn't want it. This makes her, fundamentally, a despicable liar and a detestable coward, and it is morally correct to hate her for it
Bari will never explicitly say "it's fine for masked agents of the state to murder civilians." But she will say, again and again, that the people who are upset about masked agents of the state murdering civilians are hysterical, illegitimate, censorious liars.

IMO this is an extremely weak statement that opens the door for the US to claim Greenland citizens want out of Danish governing
This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

Is it strong or weak to throw trans people under the bus? Is it strong or weak to target and destroy homeless encampments? Is it strong or weak to adopt your nominal enemy's platform rather than stand on principles? Gtfoh.

I watched a news segment of J6ers “retracing their steps” and placing flowers “in honor of” Ashli Babbit at the Capitol. Reminded of how the Nazis mythologized the Beer Hall Putsch and turned the 16 people who died into martyrs who were ritually honored on the attempted coup’s anniversary each year

The entire right wing media apparatus is in a rabid frenzy saying every childcare is fraudulent and now people are showing up to random daycare centers demanding to see the children and screaming at daycare workers. This is absolutely insane and I worry this is going to end in a major tragedy.

In the 1920s, the KKK circulated rumors that Catholics had amassed a huge arsenal of weapons and explosives and hidden them in the basements and sewers beneath the University of Notre Dame, in preparation for a Catholic takeover of the US.

Thinking about this today for no particular reason.

i wanna know which part of the left they're talking about because Black Lives Matter and the response to George Floyd's murder literally went international???
Yeah I saw someone say the left needs to get better at viral politics and you can’t really start to approach the concept without acknowledging how race works here and the very deliberate choice to run away from any association with Black people online, like…

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.

ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.

Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.
