Jimmy Kimmel on the No Kings protests: β€œSo just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America. Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election? Patriotic walking tour. There is nothing more American than a political protest”

This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.

This. And for historians in the future, please record your experiences ON PAPER (preferably cotton fiber)!

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the β€œancient art of lying” and manipulation.

"You can also be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth.”

This blatant Hatch act violation better not be playing at MSP.

Thank you for pointing out this vitally important distinction. News outlets need to be called out when they fail to make it clear that the regime's twisting of reality isn't mistaken but orchestrated.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

"Untethered to the facts." That's the message we should be amplifying at every opportunity.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

How on earth is this not a bigger story? Especially after Signal-gate?

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)
