Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

My friend Alex got married a few months ago and her photographer got this candid. I’ve never been in such a perfect photo.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

And if I’m not mistaken, he’s straightedge, so he does all of this CLEAN, if you can believe that.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

At the rate things are going, Darby and Mox’s “I Quit” match will have to go something like this: youtu.be/Fw5q2Me7LNk?... #aewdynamite

Oh, and I didn’t have any commercials from the organization that doesn’t deserve to hear me speak their name. #aewdynamite

Luke @imlukefoster.bsky.social · 1d

What a heck of a show. Great matches and backstage segments all around. That said, I wouldn’t have minded seeing a title change hands on, y’know, Title Tuesday. A second women’s match would’ve been nice, too. #aewdynamite

Crap on a stick! Darby has a Molotov cocktail! This is the first time having security run out makes sense. And dang, did they not waste any time. Almost like they were real security. #aewdynamite

Luke @imlukefoster.bsky.social · 1d

And it’s Darby vs the Death Riders! Darby and a taser! #aewdynamite

Luke @imlukefoster.bsky.social · 1d

Again, not the victory I expected. But again, what a banger of a match. #aewdynamite

Absolutely no argument from me.

They’re as good together as Jetspeed, and speaking of which, bringing Willow Nightingale into the Jetspeed fold is a great move. #aewdynamite
