Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Every time there is a mass layoff I hope people remember that newsletters cannot save us. The Free Press started as a newsletter but came to influence as something more like a newspaper (without the journalism).
We need to somehow invest in media infrastructure, not a thousand little ladders.
In case you don't know German, in summary "The country that publicly executes people cannot host the World Cup
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."
Protester: "It just feels like they're murdering the most peaceful people we have, the people who are out on the street, young, and trying to protect other people"
Well worth a watch.
Another case of normie radicalization. This guy is the former president of a local HOA, a web developer for real estate companies and a self proclaimed "member of the square community" and he's out in the streets.
We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
One thing under covered about the Cities Church protest is that one of the founders of the church is Joe Rigney - now Doug Wilson's righthand man. So, the pastor of the church is ICE; & the founder is one of Hegseth's clergy in DC.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:
"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.
Inside the detention center, Gibson said officers put him in a bare, metal holding cell about the size of a small conference room with around 40 other detainees. Their legs were shackled. Gibson said one person in the cell appeared to have scabies.
It’s by David French, former Alliance Defending Freedom attorney, as responsible as any group for dragging the country to the actual state in which we live, one justifying the murder of a queer woman daring to stand up to their racist police work.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.
Screenshot of Startribune article with the headline: Counterprotestors prevented Jake Lang from burning Qur'an. "Right wing influencer Jake Lang planned to burn a Quy'an outside Minneapolis City Hall at 1pm as part of his anti-Islam rally, but counterprotestors said they were not planning to let him do that."
If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.
Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.
On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.
People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
If there was ever a clearer sign of moral sickness in a society... People sending money to a murderer to show support for his public slaughter of an innocent person.
We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
"The dangerous thing here is the idea that a President can just decide that a leader is not legitimate and then invade the country and presumably put someone in power who is favored by the Administration. If that were the case, that’s the end of international law"
New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
Can’t name it exactly, but this a the peculiar quality of insipid contentlessness that makes you know it came from Weiss directly.
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
I regret never seeing "Cats" when it was on Broadway
