Dozens of Patriot Front members just boarded metro minutes ago at the Eastern Market station in Washington, D.C. I asked one National Guard member who they were and they responded "protesters." A July 4th community parade is about to begin just outside the Eastern Market station.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

It is horrific what happened to this man’s family. But some Jewish American children worshipping at a synagogue in Michigan are not fucking responsible. This is another case of blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel. This is why we constantly beg you not to do that. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...
• The vehicle is registered to a man in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, who was originally from Lebanon, law enforcement sources told
CNN. Authorities are investigating reports that the man told people that he had family members who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon in recent days, those officials said.

The moral panic over the existence of trans people isn't just aimed at Republicans, though. Basic legal protections for trans people are now less popular *among Democrats* than they were three years ago. An unconsionable failure of Democratic leadership. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
This steady drumbeat of transphobic agitprop was maybe even more successful than its proponents had hoped. Today, fundamental legal protections for trans people—the same protections the conservative-controlled Court extended in Bostock—are less popular than they were three years ago, according to Pew Research Center data from February 2024. This is true not only among Republican voters, but also among Democrats looking to apportion blame for Harris’s loss. In the aftermath of the 2024 election, some Democratic politicians publicly argued that the party’s support for trans rights contributed to its losses at the ballot box. One Democratic member of Congress went so far as to parrot vile anti-trans talking points to The New York Times, explaining that he did not “want to discriminate against anybody,” but did not believe “biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports.”

Back in 2018, YouGov found that 29 percent of Americans thought society had gone “too far in accepting people who are transgender.” Today, that number has increased to 36 percent. Support for explicitly anti-trans policies like bathroom bans, sports bans, and bans on gender-affirming care for young people is stronger than it was as recently as two years ago. Sports bans like those at issue in Hecox and BPJ are especially popular, supported by two-thirds of voters, including 45 percent of Democrats, according to the Pew Research Center.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV. The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence. This is not protection. This is occupation.
