LMAO

Boelter’s roommate confirmed that he was under financial strain and that his security company wasn’t a going concern yet. Also that he’s a huge Trumper and anti-abortion fanatic:

All Eyes on Los Angeles this evening as state and federal forces appear to be firing Tigas and flashbangs into crowds of peaceful protesters in an attempt to escalate. The only people here doing violence are the police and federal forces sent in by the Republicans.

We may be witnessing the most globally embarrassing thing ever to happen to the United States.

This military parade could’ve been a Signal chat

this is so fucking funny

Meemaw! Meemaw! The Boston Science Museum done made them robot dogs into homosexualists!

The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

I hope some of you actually take some joy in these pathetic images of this ridiculous and now boring military parade. It's a fiasco and everyone gets to point and laugh. More hard days ahead but for today enjoy.

The absolute fucking discipline of that crowd.

this is sending me.

I know, I know. I'm surprised, too.

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

it’s just so deeply important to me that something embarassing happens

Tom Homan looks like every suspect sketch from every "missing wife" episode of Unsolved Mysteries.

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

The comment section on this post is full of amazing, strong, brave women ready to defend their trans children. As someone who never had any supportive family this is both making cry and healing my heart. Definitely go read the comments if you need a smile today 🥰

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

Couple hundred people showed up for No Kings here in Prisontown, USA, county population ~28k. It had 15,046 registered voters in Nov 2024, when 7,568 votes were cast in the election. 5,506 of em were for Trump. Any demonstration at all is startling.

I was at a little more radical thing earlier but I went up to catch the end of the no kings protest and man people really hate all this shit so damn much, I feel like the age of it just being about the Cheeto in chief is over

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

there are a lot of good people in this country we will win

Really hard to overstate the extent to which opposition to the current administration is the default position of normal people. They’re handing out kazoos. There’s bubble machines

❤️🔥❤️🔥

Good

The threat of MAGA violence is one of the major shaping forces in American politics today, and our political discourse has never reflected it.

I’d go further—not even “not reflect” but “actively erases.” I recall reading abt how Dylann Roof was a “self-radicalized” lone-wolf mass murderer, as if he wasn’t marinated in a toxic media environment of racist hate and grievance. That’s a willful erasure of these violent politics.

Big props to the guy with the sign "the only boots worth licking are worn by goth girls" 👢🧛‍♀️😂 We need everyone, no normie lib shaming and no kink shaming

"What do we want?" "Multiparty parliamentary democracy!" "When do we want it?" "As soon as humanly possible."

Musk bought Twitter to turn it into a right-wing propaganda network precisely in moments like these.

Musk himself just wrote "the far left is murderously violent" while quoting a post blaming "the left" for it. For a 57-year-old white male shooter whose list included dozens of Democrats plus abortion providers and abortion rights advocates. Sure, he's "the left," rather than "typical Republican."

Congratulations to all the dupes, rubes, and marks who bought (and sold!) the “Elon is stepping back from politics” propaganda!

That's right, Minnesota!

We keep seeing polls based on whatever sample sizes about opinions sliding backwards, but I gotta say, seeing the sheer amt of actual real life human beings out in the streets today for our right to exist, to be healthy, to read, for to be free etc etc etc is letting the hope in my chest burn again

Just dipped my toe in at Twitter, and they are desperately trying to cement "Democrat killed by a Democrat for not being progressive enough" as the narrative.
