This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

The hearts and minds of the people are on our side. We will do everything we can to seek justice.

We will fight with peaceful expression, in court, through public debate, and at the ballot box.

Keep the peace. And keep the faith.

“The notion that [Trump] claims this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It’s making the country more dangerous. The domestic terrorists are ICE. It’s hard to believe we have a criminal president running a lawless government trying to intimidate the people of this country through force.”

It is deeply counter to the whole very basic concept of this nation that its citizens can be taxed and then have funding withheld punitively because the person exercising the power of the presidency decides on a whim to do so.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

He’s right, but I’ve got a whole pile of those lines by now. I count them at night like Arya Stark.
It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

PORTLAND MAYOR: “There was a time when we could take the federal government at their word. That time is long past.”

As DHS tells the same exact story about a ‘weaponized’ vehicle— Mayor Wilson says they stand with Minnesota, and ICE agents must be investigated.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

This is very good from WaPo. Note position of officer's feet to side of car when first shot is fired. I think everyone defending this should be asked: Was it not even an *overreaction* to fire those shots, especially 2 & 3, into her face point-blank with the officer clearly not in danger? Really?

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

The person who was shot in the face here is a local organizer who has been very active in the Movement for Black lives.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

Trigger warning ⚠️

Here’s the video. Cold blooded murder. The Trump regime is lying.

Fucking blatant lies. How is this acceptable to congress or lawfully posted on a government website?
we watch everyday how history can be rewritten in favor of complete fabrications, it’s extremely bleak
According to the White House, this is the "true" timeline of January 6th.

Sure, but when in the past 30 years has impeachment had any teeth at all?
Trump: "You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don't win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached."

Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.

The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.
