America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Remembering Jo Cox today and always. It’s easy to trot out the soundbite - “more in common” - but it’s hard to live it. I am trying every day - to listen to people who differ from me, to build bridges with people who see the world differently, to find common cause for good where I can

Also, the way that every event, no matter how shocking or horrible or unprecedented, gets fed into the far-right social media hallucination machine, and twisted beyond recognition until it supports the far-right's own nonsensical worldview, is the very core of why we are where we are as a society.

Thousands of Christians are being rounded up and deported by the U.S. government, but they’re not cottagecore tradmoms or their homeschooled goat milk enthusiasts, so these guys are fine with it. Actually, they’re thrilled.

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

I’ve been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. We will share more information soon.

This is a stunning act of violence. I’m thankful for all the law enforcement who are responding in real time. My prayers are with the Hortman and Hoffman families. Both legislators are close friends and devoted to their families and public service.

Allow me to repeat myself: I would bet money the vast majority of the Americans who will be protesting on Saturday would identify themselves as liberals, and would be confused if you tried to tell them that “liberals” are actually conservatives.

you must accept the fact that the vast majority of people who are against Trump in this country will look at you like you have two heads if you start pontificating on the leftist versus liberal distinction at them

For the first time in ages, I went on "X" to see how the assault on a US senator was going down. I scrolled past 65 posts before it appeared. It came up twice in 150 posts. (Then I stopped counting). If X was my source of news - as it is for millions of people - I'd barely know it had happened.

House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior." So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

Hell of a sentence from the guy who valorized & pardoned violent criminality against Capitol Police on the job: "The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs."

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

Curtis Yarvin, now into public weeping and Ozempic flexing, jumps the shark in this New Yorker profile. Brutal. A pathetic figure. But Andreessen, Thiel & JD Vance are so thirsty for an openly anti-democracy voice, they have made a clown into a “philosopher.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Noticing this across the board with various agencies, and remembering my days in Iraq. Those police and soldiers who wore masks were considered cowards and suspects in extrajudicial action. Cant help but believe those doing it now in the US are complicit in crimes.
