Also, the guy who killed someone dropped an F bomb. So the only difference between him and Frey is killing someone.
WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

Trump Voters Are Confessing Their Deepest Regrets And These 22 Admissions Are Absolutely Brutal - BuzzFeed
There are probably a lot of trump voters who have regrets about voting for him but are too ashamed to admit it. I just wish they had realized the truth about him before casting their votes.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

Please take back this fear we're under
Please make sure we get tomorrow
All this pain, all this sorrow

Good lord. Trump is determined to steal every future election. Thank you Marc Elias for the work you do for our democracy.
The Department of Justice has sued 24 states and the District of Columbia for access to sensitive voter data on more than 100,000,000 Americans.
My law firm has intervened on behalf of voters to fight DOJ in 23 of the 25 cases. Tomorrow we will do the same in the remaining two. Stay tuned.

I looked up the ICE Use of Force Policy. Renee Good's shooting was not only unjustified, it violated the rules and there will not be any consequences: bsky.app/profile/brya...
ICE’s Use of Force policy states officers may not:
1) Fire solely to stop a fleeing vehicle
2) Fire at a vehicle just because it is being used to flee arrest
3) Fire to disable a vehicle (e.g., tires, engine)
4) Fire if safe alternatives exist (stepping aside, cover)

This day nearly broke me, so I'm reminded:
- They want to break us.
- Things will get worse before they get better.
- They will not break us, and there are a hell of a lot more of us than there are of them.
So on the fuck we go.

There must be an extensive investigation into this killing, and this evidence and analysis should be included.
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know my name. That’s not an accident. I’m Shawn Harris. I’m a Democrat, a husband and father, a Retired Brigadier General, and a farmer. I’m running in a special election to replace MTG. I’m the only Democrat in a jungle primary against 17 Republicans.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term?
