No surprise here. Also no surprise that there are no consequences

This shooting comes just three days after Border Patrol fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and a couple of weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good.

Today’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Listen to these Holocaust survivors. They’ve come together to send you a message that you won’t be able to forget.

I’d love to say never again, but it’s happening. Here, in the fucken USA.

Open your eyes. Stop this 💩 now.

A pitbull with a big head stand in the foreground behind them is three containers of bright, orange, poppies and a container with sunflowers in it. Behind that is a street in crosswalk with cars in it.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

Someone somewhere knows what’s in the Epstein files. Time to be a hero and leak them.

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:

- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland

- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota

- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released
