Well, he was alive in the last great wealth accumulation at the top - the roaring twenties followed by the Great Depression. History doesn’t repeat, but it sometimes rhymes.😳

Apologies. Posted the same clip on both posts.

Here is the “FCC you” explanation from Colbert about WTf is going on: youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

Guess it depends on who you think the victims were? the men or the women

A pet peeve-saying someone “made” or “earned” a sum of money, when it would be more accurate to say “paid”

Oops, even worse—they changed their name to MS NOW🤷🏼‍♀️

Why is a rerun of a Deadline: White House on on a Monday afternoon on MSNBC?

HOLY CRAP: New Epstein files. Here is an FBI report:

“Donald Trump had parties at Maralago called 'calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness.“

A tale of two screenshots.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..."

Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Wait, so they think the job of news is to provide the news that people want, not the actual news that doubtless can offend parts of their audience on occasion?

Has he read the Second Amendment—“the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” 🤷🏼‍♀️

So, Trump just said Alex Pretti in Minneapolis should not have had a gun.It was in his holster and an agent pulled it put before they shot him. Minnesota accountability.Thought Trump was a big NRA 2nd Amendment guy; unlike his Democratic opponent.👀

This five year old is still in jail

Excellent Tim Miller.

A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere.

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country."

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

They were not lost. They were taken by Federal Government violence for exercising their rights. In the case of Alex his right to carry arms that he did not draw as is clearly shown in the video of an ICE agent taking it from its holster as h Alex was on the ground being beaten by multiple agents.

In fact, Mussolini invented the term fascist after the Roman bundle of spears and axes to symbolize a bundle of people fighting for Italy.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Worse than that, it still exists, but it just doesn’t function a separate branch of government to counter Herr Trump.

The difference between colonists and immigrants is that colonists come to take over an area and displace the indigenous people, while an immigrant is coming to join an existing area. One of the things Trump does is to confuse immigrants for colonists who would undermine his America, not add to it.

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?"

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article) A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Law enforcement officers are trained to de-escalate conflict. These guys seem to be doing the exact opposite.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.
