This can only be viewed as Trump & his minions saying:
1. Fuck You.
2. Fuck Your Children.
3. Fuck Your Grandchildren.
4. And Fuck Your Great Grandchildren if humanity survives that long.

Yup. Straight red. Totally unnecessary.

Aannnnnd...you can't blame the ownership, management, and trainers for your reckless red cards when your team needs you.

You cannot continually harm your team on the field this way. Spurs were playing well. I like that he's a passionate player, but a chill pill every once in a while would be okay.

"GOP members..." Me thinks the Dems 'have' seen it.

Every single member of the GOP is complicit in Trump's crimes and if there's ever a truth & reconciliation commission in this country they will have to answer for their cowardice.

No, there is no bottom which will be evident when GOP members of Congress refuse to condemn this. They'll bend over backwards and twist themselves in pretzels to not condemn this or him.

What will Speaker Johnson say when asked about TACO's racist post about the President Obama & Mrs. Obama?
1. I've been too busy and haven't seen it...
2. I try to stay off of social media...
3. The president has lots of strong opinions...

We know he won't condemn the explicitly racist post.

He should have been impeached & convicted by now for countless reasons. The GOP led Congress is an utter moral & constitutional failure.

We need everyone to call. Tell Senators to Vote No on S.J. Res. 102. We need to call today, tomorrow, and every day until there is a vote (prob. next week). Tell them to support local control over local affairs & prevent tax chaos! #FreeDC #DCStatehood

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Democracy dies in darkness and Bezos is turning out the lights. Love & respect to the wonderful WaPo journalists both past & present.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:

β€œYesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.

β€œToday, we demand accountability.

β€œIn the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a β€œdomestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.

β€œOur demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Made fufu with groundnut soup for dinner. Not as good as in my glory days as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, but tasty nonetheless.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Big shoutout & thanks to @eleanornorton.bsky.social for her great work pushing for #DCStatehood. The statehood bill passed the House twice under her stewardship. And she was a great guest host for our DC Trivia Nights! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Spent the evening at International Night at Alice Deal MS. Families prepared meals celebrating the food from where they or their ancestors come from. What binds us is that we’re all here now. Celebrate, honor, & fight non-violently to preserve our diversity. Diversity makes America great.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

If you’re a journalist on TV right now, use your fucking eyes and ears and words. Don’t let people pretend a public execution didn’t happen.

They didn’t just shoot him. They executed him. It’s fascism. They’re modern Nazis. They’re criminals. Any reasonable government would impeach and arrest the president now, today.

We need to have the biggest protest ever not just on the Mall but surrounding the White House. Fill the Mall, fill the streets of Foggy Bottom, Farragut North, Freedom Plaza, Penn Ave and more with millions of people saying NO to the illegal & immoral practices and policies of this administration.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.
