Since the start of his second term, Trump has taken steps to reward right-wing violence while also obstructing the countryโ€™s ability to track and defend against acts of extremism. โ€œIt seems like a blessing from the highest levels of government,โ€ one expert warns.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."

They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

Question:

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

A Supreme Court oversaw the conviction a former president for attempting a coup to stay in power. Ironic when Brazil is considered a country more capable than the U.S. of implementing the rule of law and whose politicians from both sides in general acknowledged the act was wrong and illegal.

The Washington Post Fired Me โ€” But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America โ€” and it cost me my job.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirkโ€™s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

'The whole thing is screwed up': Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania struggle to find workers They're pushing lawmakers to move faster on a farm labor solution, even as the president cracks down on immigration.

Who knew that deporting immigrants would cause a farm labor shortage? Why aren't able-bodied Americans clamoring to work on farms?

Rulli: "When you first get elected into office, everybody says 'all of the above' for natural resources, for energy. But in reality it's just natural gas & coal that can produce right now... you look at Russia, they're building coal plants left & right. We're closing coal plants... coal is the way."

Hundreds of South Koreans arrested in a U.S. immigration raid are being sent home U.S. immigration authorities are preparing to send more than 300 South Korean workers home on a chartered flight from Atlanta, a week after detaining them for allegedly working illegally.

Do you know what might be a good country to have on our side if thereโ€™s ever a conflict in the South China Sea or the Taiwan Straits? Can you think of a nation that hosts a large U.S. military presence on a peninsula that abuts China?
