Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

FIFA drops anti-racism, anti-discrimination messages for Club World Cup

FIFA recognizes that racism is the official policy of the Trump administration, and that an anti-racism campaign is therefore not possible if the World Cup occurs in the United States.

I was curious how the police showed up when the gunman was still at Hortman’s house. They went out of caution. Big ups to this sergeant

For whatever it’s worth, there is still a very large crowd at the MN Capitol.

BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

This morning Minnesota woke up to news of a brutal act of violence targeting public servants. I am heartbroken to learn that our Speaker Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman and their spouses have been shot.

Good news everyone!

Looks like we passed both measures A and B in Huntington Beach in a massive blow to our absolutely shitty fundamentalist fascist-loving MAGA city council, so pour yourself a beverage of choice and FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS AMERICA FUCK YEAH

FBI Director Kash Patel Abruptly Closes Internal Watchdog Office Overseeing Surveillance Compliance Once a long-time critic of FBI surveillance, Patel is now singing a different tune.

I think it’s weird how people are “opposed to surveillance” until they have their hands on the surveillance apparatus. gizmodo.com/fbi-director...
