"Who brings guns to a protest?!"
It's a question that was asked when Trump supporters brought guns to anti-lockdown protests in 2020 and is now being asked again in reference to protesters bringing guns to anti ICE protests.

![Screenshot from LONG SHADOW: RISE OF THE AMERICAN FAR RIGHT season finale "January 6: Day of the Rope" transcript:
Just four weeks after he’d recommended social distancing, Trump sent out a series of tweets. “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!” said one. “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” said the second. “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, AND SAVE YOUR GREAT 2ND AMENDMENT. IT IS UNDER SIEGE!” said the third.
[protest audio]
Over the next couple of weeks, anti-lockdown protests quickly spread to 30 states, and heavily armed far-right militias showed up to a lot of them.

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.
Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud. This week, Trump pardoned both siblings. Read more: nyti.ms/4bCnUNq

In Denmark, you get free healthcare, free university education, a solid state pension and 5-star public transport.
The USA have people going bankrupt to pay medical fees, many with huge student loan debts and ICE terror on top of it all.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

I hate sweatpants. I will never wear sweatpants. I don’t care how comfortable your sweatpants are. I automatically assume people who wear sweatpants in public have not washed their ass in at least 5 days. But if this is your move, here are some handy shopping tips:

Trump admitting that there were “boots on the ground,” and “could have gone very badly,” i.e., introduced troops into “hostilities” as defined by WPR which would require prior congressional consultation (if not approval) esp if it was planned for months

Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office.
Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs.
Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024.
Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."
