I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Lawrence Oโ€™Donnell is right: the fight for Virginiaโ€™s future is the fight for Americaโ€™s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the lineโ€”letโ€™s raise hell and win. ๐Ÿ”ฅ #VoteVA

The textbook definition of "stochastic terrorism" is "the use of inflammatory rhetoric by public figures that indirectly incites random individuals to commit acts of violence against targeted groups or individuals."

He's not on the edge of hysteria. He's acting as such, to incite those who are.

We Found the โ€˜Enemy from Withinโ€™ Heโ€™s in the White House

In Chicago, children were paraded outside in the thick of the night, zip-tied and alone, while ICE rampaged through their homes โ€” all at Trumpโ€™s request. He talks about an โ€œenemy from withinโ€ but the biggest enemy is him and his lackeys.

Pritzker: โ€œThe Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.โ€

Burbank Airport will have no air traffic controllers Monday evening, FAA warns Burbank Airport is bracing for impacted operations as air traffic controllers begin to call out in greater numbers due to the government shutdown.

Thanks, Donald Trump!

Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Thereโ€™s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, thereโ€™d be investigations & oversight into this.

Supreme Court rejects Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwellโ€™s appeal of her criminal conviction Maxwell was convicted for her role in recruiting and grooming girls who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

Taco couldn't get his pet court to do his dirty work for him, so now he will have to pardon his co-conspirator before she rats on him. Of course, if she does, she will turn into a perjured liar again.

The biggest problem with government shutdowns is the fact the people doing the shutting down are the least affected. They should be the first: All of the White House and Congress should be the first to lose pay/benefits.

I would also add that they purposely embedded their own videographers to capture the times when ICE engages with protesters to cause conflict & I'll bet Miller is feeding those specially curated videos for Dear Leader to watch.

Israel is facing accusations of mistreating international activists who were detained when Israeli forces raided a flotilla of Gaza-bound aid boats, detaining over 435 passengers. Several deported activists say they witnessed Israeli officers mistreating the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do โ€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
