Tesla Bros Attempt Coast-to-Coast Trip in Self-Driving Mode, Crash Right Away There’s an aura of failure lingering around Elon Musk and the Tesla brand right now. A stink of mediocrity. Maybe even the funk of impotence.

Exclusive | Iraq War veteran Thomas Sanford ID’d as gunman who attacked Grand Blanc LDS church, killing 2 and setting it ablaze The deranged madman who killed at least two people and injured eight others at a Michigan Latter-day Saints church, torching the building and opening fire on fleeing congregants and their families,…

The Michigan mass shooter/church arsonist was a 40-year-old veteran with two American flags and a set of deer antlers on his vehicle:

The following statement can be attributed to Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills: “The Village of Broadview Police Department has launched a criminal investigation into an allegedly unprovoked attack on a CBS Chicago TV news reporter’s vehicle on Sunday by a chemical munition fired from the direction of U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement detention facility. The victim declined medical attention. The Broadview Police Department expects the full cooperation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security into our criminal investigation.”

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

Cardinal McElroy at Mass for World Day of Migrants and Refugees: “We are witnessing an unprecedented assault on our nation…this assault is intended to make life miserable for undocumented migrants…our government is engaged in a comprehensive campaign of fear at its core.”

I am heartbroken by the news of a mass shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan. No one should fear the threat of gun violence in their place of worship, at their school, or anywhere.

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

MAGA conservative Kirk fan, Thomas Sanford, drives truck into Mormon Church and murders at least two and injures at least 8.

So we've had two white male Marine veterans commit mass shootings this weekend in Michigan and North Carolina leaving at least 4 dead and a church burned down.

I'm sure MAGA will declare it an epidemic and push to ban white male Marine veterans from owning guns any day now.

I love this ... one thing that people often don't realise (because of the head-in-the-sand "sports aren't political!" folks of the men's game) is that the women's game (including, or rather maybe especially, the fans) has inherently & always been political. All major women's sports are.

Attack at a Mormon church in Michigan leaves 2 dead, 8 injured Multiple people were shot at a Mormon church in Michigan, authorities said Sunday. The shooter was killed by police.

UPDATE: Multiple people were shot at a Mormon church in Michigan, authorities said Sunday. The shooter was killed by police.

2 dead, 8+ hurt after Thomas Sanford of Burton, MI, rammed a truck into a Mormon church, opened fire, and set it ablaze before police killed him. His home had a Trump–Vance 2024 sign and FB shows years of pro-Trump posts. Motive unconfirmed, but points to far-right politics.

Man in custody after 3 killed, at least 8 injured in shooting at a waterfront bar in North Carolina, officials say | CNN A 40-year-old man is facing murder charges after allegedly pulling up on a boat to a waterfront bar in North Carolina Saturday night and opening fire, killing three and injuring at least eight others.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.”

Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins?

Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects funded by Biden—even after calling the $1.2 trillion bill “terrible.” Now he’s pretending he signed it. Gaslighting much?

Everyone onboard was very obviously killed immediately on the first strike. The only reason to keep hitting it **multiple** times, until the boat was blown to smithereens and completely sank, is to destroy all evidence. They didn't want to identify who they killed or prove they were drug smuggling.
