Moved to a red, red state a few years ago and now dealing with the mind-boggle of being the token "lunatic liberal leftist communist". Wake me up when it's sane outside.

They are so keen to discredit ... "Paid actors" "planned/organized chaos" "engineered" ... even if it were, murder is still a crime.

"They were assaulting him." "Dana, law enforcement doesn't assault anyone." Oh shit. Repeating a falsehood as fact doesn't make it so, and it definitely doesn't make it legal. And this is who's in charge of the "investigation". #Propaganda

"It's too bad the consequences had to be paid... he made that choice." Excuse me, sir. DEATH is NOT the legal consequence of "getting in the way".

I thought we all knew and agreed that racism was wrong, damaging and unwanted. That fascism was appalling. That hypocrisy and other shitty behavior are things to acknowledge and change for the better. Boy skippy. I was wrong. Trying to get my brain on board with the reality.

Realizing more and more that my partner doesn't value Human rights Women's rights Empathy Integrity Growth ... It's surreal in a way. ... The subconscious racism with zero desire to correct it... I see this emerging into daylight and it's bending my brain. Like wtf.

The enormity sits heavy on my soul. I have large decisions ahead. I have to make a choice about work. Soon. Conscience won't allow me to stay active under this out-of-control administration. Job, housing, income, relationship. It'll all be upended. Trying not to trauma freeze. (Thanks Obama) (jk)

Thank you. I'm already up too late... ima go get some water and try to set my phone down. Feeling grief and anger, and just scrolling, hoping to find some kind of answer or comfort in the next post...

This, from a survivor. How we know it's true? No lawsuit filed claiming defamation and/or slander; and since it's written, libel. No, can't have discovery... Pedophiles: tRump Andy Biggs Jim Jordan (Didn't say or stop sexual abuse at OSU. Liked it?) With Clarence Thomas and Lindsey Graham present.

3. Multiple times. ... Then you have Markwayne, straight from the land of constitutional carry, talking like he suddenly doesn't believe a citizen can carry a loaded firearm. The hypocrisy isn't surprising but it's still somehow mind-blowing.

Yeah, I was gonna say... Texas constitutional carry has most of these people forgetting that permits or declaring weapons even exist. Until it's about a guy in Minnesota...

Markwayne f-ing Mullins, an Oklahoman from the land of no-license constitutional concealed carry? ST-absolute-FU. I cannot. I moved to OK from a blue state and the level of 2A bravado that exists here, he CANNOT seriously say something like that. Buuuut they are 50th in education. So there's that.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

He was a genuine and decent man. An honorable American. The energy it takes to argue with the others mentioned -- not worth it.

The president had to adjust to a slightly more professional speaking style, given that it wasn't his usual crowd. I heard a handful of coherent sentences even. That should not be as botable as I felt it to be 🤦🏼‍♀️
