One thing that has sort of surprised me is that it does really seem like the desire to be ruled by a powerful fascist daddy is stronger in the median elite journalist than in the median voter.
Among our biggest mistakes was trusting millionaires to protect us from billionaires.
The WH has already called the heckler a “lunatic” just like Renee Good, which confirms everything we already know: if someone had shot him in the face for heckling, they’d be defending the shooter.

A union-backed auto worker at Ford Motor Co. was caught on video heckling President Donald Trump when he visited a Dearborn factory on Tuesday ahead of his address to the Detroit Economic Club. The vi...

You can tell he’s in the Twin Cities and not Chicago because he’s sitting lower in the frame.

Bovino: "Something else here as far as what happened in that Target store is truly I felt sorry for the public, and the reason for that is by and large 90% of the public are happy to see us. They like to engage with us, talk with us and find out about our missions."

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.

Since New Year’s, my wife and I have been creating collages with vintage magazines (which leads to us inevitably getting distracted by all the articles).
This entire issue of Newsweek from Sept 1991 is still amazing, but one political cartoon sure does seem like it was instructional for some.

This is crazy but expected. The bots have been unleashed.
It sure makes the CBS Nightly News saying ‘I’ve talked to people who are personally affected by this who say it’s bad, but I’ve had electronic messages from supposedly real people who say it’s fine” sound somehow even more ridiculous

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.

Hot take I've been kicking around; in 2027, a Dem House could simply not invite POTUS to give SOTU in the chamber.
Absorb the "but the norms" backlash, sell it as a co-equal branch reasserting itself. And if a Dem wins WH in 2029, let the tradition stay dead, to deflate the imperial presidency.
