Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Wow, that Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle is…something. We’re all godless hordes/hords apparently.

Was that a gold gavel? I guess of course it was

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Corporate broadcast news fumbles January jobs report

PBS remains by far the gold standard in covering the economy.

As their corporate competitors stuck to easy administration-friendly talking points to discuss yesterday’s jobs report, PBS showed how to do it right (and in just 30 seconds if needed).

Creepy as shit. Speaking as a dog owner, oh, hell no, that’s not about dogs

Oh my god

His words draw on a core belief of our union: that defending fairness, dignity and safety for all remains central to who we are and the humanity we share. Read the full letter here: usw.org/news/minneso...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Right out in the open. Hell no

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

We all have eyes to see the truth

I was in tears watching that. Jesus, the humanity
