Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting by Federal Agents

“A frame-by-frame review by The WSJ shows a federal officer pulling a handgun away from Pretti. Less than a second later, an agent fires several rounds. Pretti died at the scene.”

Alex Pretti - who DHS labeled a domestic terrorist - honoring a veteran that passed away in the ICU.

For everyone tuning in from home, reminder that it's -5F with -15F windchills tonight.

Every person out tonight is freezing for their country and their constitution.

Minnesota Forever.

Alex Pretti was exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights when his 4th and 14th amendment rights were violated.

If ICE followed the constitution, he’d be alive or the men who killed him would be under arrest.

Those who kill peaceful protesters are always remembered by history as the bad guys.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Literally where we are as a country

it would be good if we had a political party in america that was at least as concerned with what is morally right as it is with what will make its donors and advisors happy

Everyone who has killed protesters and then blamed the protesters for “protesting wrong” has been remembered by history as the bad guys.

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

Sometimes you just have to let @lopatto.bsky.social say it out loud www.theverge.com/policy/85990...

She was protesting.

He told her to leave.

She was complying.

SHE TURNED THE WHEEL TO LEAVE.

Another agent tried to forcibly open her door.

She gave the car gas to leave.

He shot her in the face.

These are the facts of what happened.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
