The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

i’ve wondered whether the traditional tactic of peaceful resistance to shock the conscience of observers who see nonviolence met with force is still possible in a media environment where only novelty can get the attention of the people you need to be shocked, and portland seems to have an answer

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I fundamentally disagree with Michael Heseltine on a great many policy areas.

But here he is very much calling a spade a spade, and I fully agree with him.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

ICE's lies keep piling up.
ICE: 10 cars rammed ICE
Video shows: No cars rammed ICE
ICE: She boxed ICE in
Video: ICE boxed her in
ICE: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle
ICE: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired
There should be some punishment for this firehose of lies.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

The U.S. Treasury shared a proposal to mint $1 Trump coins to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

But U.S. code says only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency, a tradition dating back to efforts to break from monarchical rule. https://wapo.st/4pWsyL3

Completely off the main point, but…

A friend of mine once lost his right shoe, a suede walking boot. But he’d somehow acquired the same shoe in a different colour. A mix up at the lockers, he assumed.

Until we pointed out one shoe was wet, the other dry…

I do weird grocery budget accounting because I'm a dork and my mom taught me to do so growing up and my groceries were up 16% total this week compared to the last time I bought each item, with the oldest item on the list from 5 weeks ago
