Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN
!["Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!"
"I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house."
"This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed.
"I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied.
"I will arrest you!" the officer threatened.
"Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned.
"I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward."
"Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship."
"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?"
"Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreibjwvcxk2ptdafgbwfhk4rjalweyoz3d55gl72qhwhiudhu6aywcm@jpeg)

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.
These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.
They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
Trump: We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe. It will be like the one in Paris but it blows it away.

Republican lawmakers in Missouri have advanced a constitutional amendment that would make citizen ballot measures much more difficult to pass. “If we can’t use the citizen-led initiative petition process, we’re done, we’re cooked,” says an advocate.
Under this GOP Measure, All of Missouri’s Recent Popular Initiatives Would Have Failed
Lawmakers just advanced a constitutional amendment to drastically raise the bar for approving citizen ballot measures. Voters get to weigh in on the scheme next year.

The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicals—with limited oversight.
