LAPD now shooting 40mm foam rounds at people, some narrowly missing photographers who were stuck in between the line and protesters. Just absolutely evil shit.

This is ABSOLUTELY insane I was also there to witness this. Great job to Sean for capturing this horrific, violent attack, my photos will come soon. This is just another example of not only political violence, but right-on-right violence.

It would be a brilliant idea for @lincolnproject.us to make an ad contrasting Trump and Epstein’s friendship w/ photos of them together, and quotes of them being best friends with how Trump talks about him now. Ending with if that’s how quickly he’ll turn on his friend, he’ll turn on you too

Hegseth said the strike in Iran was the most complex and secretive military operation in HISTORY. Someone should remind him. It’s embarrassing how much Obama is living rent free in their heads.

Sen. Bernie Sanders walked out of President Trump’s speech. Afterwards, over half a dozen House Democrats — including several who have been holding up signs protesting Trump — walked out of the chamber. Follow our live coverage and analysis:

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

This motherfucker has the audacity to recite Dr. Martin Luther King's "Let Freedom Ring" when trump's policies will probably erase that from American history books. What a thoroughly disgusting event. As awful as we thought it might be.

Grief is a cycle, you don’t go from one stage to the next, you can be stuck at a stage, or repeat a stage. After the elections acknowledged I am grieving. Lately I’ve been avoiding the news, and political spaces. It turns out avoidance is part of denial. Here we go again, again
