ICE SHOT A JOURNALIST, THEN BLOCKED HIS LAWYERS. Bodycam shows Carlitos Parias stationary, hands raised, when ICE shot him. PAXIS.app: Deadly force requires an imminent threat. A judge found ICE violated his Sixth Amendment rights and dismissed every charge. Keep PAXIS free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

When MAGAs say “America was founded on Christian values,” they never seem to want to answer which value they’re claiming is Christian? Genocide? Slavery? Or Misogyny? 🤔

We are now in mandatory evacuation zone from the Aspen Acres fire. Waiting just a bit to go. There is a good deal of ground to cover before it gets here. I have friends who are closer to it and hope they go now.

Last night, the Aspen Acres fire moved 5 miles closer to the house. We are not quite in the pre evacuation zone, but we are less than a half mile away from it. Packed and ready to go. #AspenAcresFire

This morning the Aspen Acres fire was 365 acres. At 4 pm, it was 2400 acres. 3 hours later, 23,000 acres. I took this photo at about 2 pm, and about 20 miles north of the fire.

Can Obama launch a US 250 year celebration? A 3 day concert and speech forum. All proceeds to be donated to various charities or split with the democratic party for fund raising. I think this has legs and we may need more than 3 days for the talent it would draw.

This is Lily. She’s been accused of drinking her mom’s slushie. Will not be taking any questions at this time. 14/10 (IG: iceedoglilly)
a golden retriever sits smiling in the front passenger seat of a car. the window is rolled down just a couple of inches. blue skies with puffy clouds and some happy little trees are in the background. it’s a totally normal photo of a golden in a car, minus the fact that the tongue sticking out of her mouth is bright blue.you’re peering down into a styrofoam cup that was in a car’s cupholder. it is mostly empty but has some blue slushie way down at the bottom with a mysteriously tongue-shaped hole carved through the ice in one spot. the back of a golden retriever’s head is visible in the upper right corner of the photo. the dog may or may not be avoiding eye contact.

I don’t believe you Tucker. You gotta prove you mean it. Do what I did 8yrs ago when I publicly turned against Trump. Go EVERYWHERE and apologize & explain yourself. And then do the WORK. Work your ass off every day to help defeat Trump & the GOP. Walk the walk Tucker…or this is just a fake apology.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.
