This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

In America, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we can’t let this President or Secretary of Defense corrupt that. I’m grateful for Jeff Flake’s moral clarity.
When Leaders Mistake Brutality for Strength
Americans may disagree on many things, but they still distinguish between necessary force and needless killing.

The minute Jasmine Crockett, a fierce fighter against fascism, announced her run for the Senate, the never-Kamala trolls came out in force.
Never that same heat for Trump, who wants to export Palestinians from Gaza and turn it into a resort. Literally ethnic cleansing.

I don't know how anyone can deny or downplay the rise in antisemitic violence when 15 people are murdered + dozens more wounded in a terrorist attack that targeted the Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah. To deny the rise in violent antisemitism is to be entirely untethered from reality.

Well done by the students. How come the authorities didn't figure this out? Or did they just not tell us about it?
