Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda.

The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

Anyways. Karen Read had to pull out all the stops of the privilege available to her in order to beat the charges set forth by a corrupt system. And it still took two trials.

So imagine all those without those resources and social capital to defend themselves.

We don't talk enough about the total financial ruin defendants face when the state brings an absurd case like this. They prosecuted Karen Read for years while law enforcement engaged in blatant misconductβ€”and she lost both her jobs, her home, and her life savings. It's bullshit.

The Karen Read trial was incredible because usually that degree of law enforcement sloppiness is reserved for an inner city. They really thought they could get a real conviction there.

they want to blame Black people so badly. there's been a consistent push to malign one of the most loyal voting bases for Democrats and if it continues to succeed, Dems will actually see electoral wipeouts for years to come.

Sure seems like that report would clear this right up.

Wait. One of the main forces behind "The Harper's Letter," which to this day is held up as being a crowning achievement in support of free speech (which it never was) believes that the masses don't deserve free speech?

How... unsurprising.

I hate to give him airtime, but I’m guessing other countries are expressing concerns and he’s trying to get ahead of it to help 47 save face…

Athletes and countries are absolutely be reconsidering attending the 2028 games given our current environment. The U.S. is not a safe place.

How America and China spooked each other As officials meet in London, the costs of their trade war are now abundantly clear

The world's stupidest trade war, incompetently executed. Chinese "exports have risen by 6% overall, owing to increased shipments to Europe and South-East Asia. China’s currency, meanwhile, is stronger now against the dollar than it was before April 2nd." www.economist.com/finance-and-...

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today.

I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children.

Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us.

One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

A Mexican cop captured U.S. fugitives in Mexico. It cost her life. Abigail Esparza Reyes, a member of an elite police unit known as β€œGringo Hunters,” chased U.S. fugitives in Mexico. She was fatally shot this week.

Baja California Police Cmdr. Abigail Esparza Reyes devoted her career to capturing fugitives from U.S. justice. She’s the Abigail in Kevin Sieff's 2022 Post report on the Gringo Hunters.

She saw her job as protecting Mexico from American criminals.

She was shot to death Wednesday.

Thomas Chatterton Williams on X: "I don’t care if you’re razing Kenosha, storming the Capitol, or doing whatever this is in LA, no democracy can function when every group and identity block decides it has the right and moral authority to take its specific political disagreements into the streets."

"A society can't allow EVERYBODY to have free speech!" is a helluva take.

The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown After deportations fell short of President Trump’s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to β€œjust go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

Miller "directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven .. stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out .. and arrest 30 people right away.

β€œWho here thinks they can do it?” Miller said .."
