"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA"

* article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

Tired of these weak-ass blood oranges that are only partially red.

Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Headline from The Onion, July 17, 1963: “SINATRA WARNS RUSSKIES TO KNOCK IT OFF —Singer Gives Khrushchev 24 Hours to 'Drop This Commie Bunk or It's Ring-a-Ding-Ding for You Bozos' —Calls Soviet Premier a 'World-Class Knucklehead'”

Every Trump foreign policy pronouncement sounds like he’s doing an homage to this Sinatra bit from @theonion.com.

The White Community needs to deal with its pathological celebration of guns, violence, and racism if it wants to fully integrate into American society.

Surely they must also support hiring Marxists as Business faculty, right?

The deadly Caribbean strikes—illegal, unethical, and bad strategy all at once—aren’t conducted through some automated process. People select the targets and pass them along, likely with claims about intelligence. People give the order to fire, and execute the command.

Who is a very good question.

Victory over Trumpism will not be enough.

We must demand ACCOUNTABILITY.

Every last person who broke their oath and violated the law must be held accountable.

The amount of people on local news Facebook responding to reports on the protests with “your side lost! 🤣🤣🤣🤣” is astronomical. It’s nothing more than a football game to them and if the Stillers (or Crimson Tide, or whoever) beats their rival that’s enough for them.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged. As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Saw some folks doing a Segway tour of the Acropolis recently and the dichotomy was jarring.

There’s obviously tons of terrible shit happening but I’m pleasantly surprised that the Great American Undoing leans more toward Idiocracy than Hunger Games.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

I just got back from there—you should totes take a sunset cruise around the caldera!

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

You’d have to find one first.

‼️ this is one of the reasons why the Musk shutdown of USAID broke me, like

Congress said 'we're allocating these funds to save lives'

a random asshole with too much money and unresolved bitterness about the end of Apartheid said 'no you're not'

so the funding disappeared??

and people are dying??

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

“Ooh, I’m so cool and edgy! Ooh, I’m a tool of the fascist government! Look at me I’m such a rebel!”

Fucking losers.
