Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

that mcmorrow feels the need to do this is one of the clearest signs yet that genocide denial and pro-israel politics are well on their way to becoming losing issues in democratic primaries

What do we do when the information released by ICE and associated police is false information? They are simply promoting disinformation campaigns.

We need some consequences for lying by federal and local police officers.

My New Band Is: Noticeably White Attitudes Reverse racism in the library!

An associated Press photo that ran in the guardian where members of the Navy in their dress white uniforms greet Donald Trump as he visited them per the caption β€œto speak during a celebration for the 250th anniversary of the US Navy in Norfolk, Virginia on October 5.”
It’s a group of maybe 20 to 30 members of the Navy in their uniforms who greeted him so the biggest fans. and they’re taking photographs, cheering smiling yelling. some have their fist in the air like after someone shot at Trump in Butler Pennsylvania

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.
