tfw the NRA claps back
When people say "there's nothing Trump could do to alienate his base," my response is always "he better not mess with their guns."
Now we get to test that hypothesis...particularly because the gun in question was in the hands of a white man.

If NOTHING else, I hope the summary executions of our fellow citizens by the federal government, without so much as a peep from our 2A warriors, will drive a stake through the heart of the NRA--ghouls who have been tormenting this country for generations.
"a well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State".... yadda yadda yadda.

Per governing WWE precedent, if Machado attempts to hand the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump it's actually deemed vacant, and will be contested at the next WrestleMania.
(Said precedent being Andre->DiBiase 1987, and since Trump is a WWE Hall of Famer he's bound by this. ht: @stephensilver.bsky.social)

“The president also said it would be a "great honor" if Machado decided to give him the Nobel Peace Prize she won last year.”

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

I think it’s important to draw attention to small acts of courage and dissent (like this NYT ad and the message from the VT ski resort social media manager) that remind people of the range of possibilities for standing up, speaking out, and fighting back.
A guy was so horrified by what Trump did that he bought a full-page ad in the front section of the national Sunday New York Times — which costs somewhere north of USD $100,000 — asking him to resign
