When FBI agents killed white separatist Vicki Weaver while trying to take her criming husband into custody, it fueled the anti-government militia movement that formed one tributary into today's MAGA right, which is shrugging off today's state murder of Renee Good.

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is.
It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.

The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.

What's endlessly frustrating is that Trump has done nothing in the last year that he didn't openly campaign on doing if he regained the presidency, but checked-out voters didn't bother paying attention, and lots of politically informed voters refused to believe him. So much rotten ignorance.

So apparently Biden's State Department actually justified the shift from Times New Roman to Calibri on DEIA grounds (better for dyslexia and e-readers).
Which makes Rubio's claim here a little less totally-out-there.
Still ridiculous, but only unhinged, not insanely unhinged.
