I used to buy what was then a cheaper cut -flank steak. It was usually 4.99 at Costco. Yesterday it was 12.99/lb. A hunk of chuck roast steak, the kind you use for pot roast, was $51!! Should we be eating brains?

She’s unsettlingly confident and dismissive

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

I've been watching the news and reading the Internet for weeks -

When do millions of us march to Washington, drag all these criminals that have subverted our Constitution out of our buildings, deal with them roughly and restart our Democracy?

It is up to us folks, no-one is going to save us.

They all know he’s not there and they like it. They do as they please- wrecking American health, civil rights, safety, and freedom.

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald.

He nails it here, though.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

/6 Watch, as this unfolds, two key things: (1) how blatantly the Gestapo will lie, and demand that you ignore what you can see plainly, and (2) how uselessly, how pathetically, how impotently the media will treat those lies and dither at this murder, craven publicists to evil.

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it.

There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.

From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

β€œICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigrationβ€”Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, are you watching this press conference? Would you happen to know any journalists with experience in writing about cognitive health?

I was on a jury recently and the defendant was so overcharged I thought it would be an easy decision. But no, this group was VERY β€œlaw and order” and wanted the defendant hung for what I saw as reasonable situational actions. It opened my eyes to how willing people are to control/be controlled.

Is this a free America? Who wants to live like this? What if I’m told to β€œhurry up” and I don’t move fast enough to please someone. Can he kill me now? JFC we are in trouble

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

I graduated from New College in 1978. I no longer tell anyone that because the college I attended no longer exists. I wish they would rename the monstrosity they created. It is NOT New College.

Americans have been underreacting to everything. The country has been basically couped, all three branches of government corrupt, Israeli spies everywhere, all the wealth stolen and an armed gestapo is terrorising and kidnapping people.

Totally cooked country.
