This whole idea of public executions should be the COMPLETE downfall of the Republican Party. WTF are we even doing?

New Yorkers, Whistles are on every counter, entry table and coat rack in Minneapolis. These greeted me when I arrived in August - 3D printed.
A welcome note from hosts on a pink post it note on a counter reads “welcome! Keychain whistles of MN Flag for both of you. Text or call with ?s”
Two 3D printed whistles with the pattern of the Minnesota state flag sit next to the note on the counter top.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Something about this photo really got to me just now. Seeing this man simply smiling and having a nice time at a concert knowing the constant attacks he has faced from our own government just makes my heart smile. Jack Smith is a true hero and American patriot.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

When I get down about what has become of journalism, of speaking the truth, I think of Jamal. I lost my Washington Post job. Jamal lost his life. Both of us — all we wanted to do was write and help people.

PSA: Raise your sons to be men. Teach them how to respect women. Teach them that if they see something, say something or intervene. Women shouldn't have to live their lives in fear, with their guard up constantly. Props to those parents already practicing these words.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Let me make sure I have this right. Trump siphoned money away from our troops and gave it to DHS to fund his cruel immigration agenda. Then they took money from DHS... and used it to pay for a partisan political ad five weeks before the election.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Never sell anyone out. In fact, if you're asked about banning 12-year-olds from softball, just say, "You're asking me to sell out kids for my political career. I'm not going to do that. Let's stop demonizing people in tougher circumstances than you or I will ever experience. They have guts."

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society said…was revealing

“I guess you could call it a church.” Top story: In his new book, sociologist Harel Shapira reveals how Americans learn far more than simply how to shoot from firearms training centers — they learn a religion of constant fear.

At the firearms training center, fear becomes the foundation of the state's violent obsession.
