Look, everyone, including Trump, can have butterfingers, it happens. But let’s be honest, if Biden had done this (as with the tripping or walking the wrong way or whatever) there would have been multiple news stories and calls for medical examinations. It’s the double standard that annoys me

As a reminder, under Barack Obama, the US & allies forged the JCPOA, also known as the Iran nuclear deal. Under Donald Trump, the US trashed the JCPOA & can’t make peace in the Middle East. And of course, there’s always always always a tweet. Every accusation is typically a confession.

PBS and Fox aired this. Pay attention to the soldier walking in the background so you know it is the same footage. Now tell me what you hear different….

PBS vs FOX Fake cheering

lol what was said here?

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

hey do yall remember the days when conflicts of interest were bad

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

🕰️ #TimeMachine : 85 years ago #Chaplin decided to speak in one of his films for the first time in his career. It was to deliver this message that rings true today. #NoKings

Facts matter.

When he put his hand on his shoulder 😭

Maybe articles about a suspected killer on the run locally shouldn’t be behind a paywall

Your Dad, waiting for you all to get in the damn car. #FathersDay

Two observations in Fox's written coverage of the Minnesota shootings. 1. Assumption that the #nokings fliers in his car means that shooter was a supporter of the movement rather than that he may have been targeting it (also a supposition, but one made more likely by #2). 1/2

Cold Hard Fact: The Minnesota assassin was an avid Trump supporter and Trump voter.

ABC HEADLINE: “Massive” Parade NBC VIDEO: actually nah Guess firing terry moran for him wasn’t enough, abc ? 🤔

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

It’s truly astounding that Conservatives hear that the murderer had a “No Kings” flyer in his car and they think it means he’s liberal instead of the very obvious reality that he had the flyer because he was targeting the protests, too.

In light of the Minnesota assassinations and attempted assassinations, a reminder that this is who the admin put in charge of combating violent extremism.

On May 22, 1782, the Newburgh letter was sent to George Washington who was camped at Newburgh, New York; written for the army officers by Colonel Lewis Nicola, it proposed that Washington should become the King of the United States. Washington reacted very strongly against the suggestion.

Omgggg

“Law enf found a hit list in #Minnesota suspect’s car that contained nearly 70 names..incl abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, lawmakers in Minn/other states, + Father’s Day card addressed to the suspect in a bag full of ammunition, the official said.” www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

It’s weird to me that Biden is continually blamed for “the lockdowns”, whatever the fuck that actually was. Can anyone, for 100 points, tell me who the President was during this time period?

Have a great day! And stay safe out there kids!

Remembering good past times this morning. Particularly when we had an intelligent, competent, thoughtful, kind, good-natured president with a sense of humor. He was the last president to complete a second term. Grateful for former president Barack Obama.

Whether internal or external, proactively shut down all violence and antagonism. These weaklings are doing this because they cannot win on merit. #nokings

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

I regretfully cannot participate tomorrow, but will be doing equally important work - leading a city in protecting the constitutional rights of those who are (& may even be countering). Stay safe, smart, & remember the mission. Peace + strength. We are on the right side of history. #nokings ✊🇺🇲✌️💪💕🌎

sometimes it would be nice if history repeated itself #nokings

Show up in numbers so big, it's overwhelming; show up so resolute that interlopers & agitators can't disrupt; show up so peaceful that our purpose is clear; show up so organized that unity prevails; & show up so strongly that the message cannot be ignored. We will not be ruled by dictators! ✊🇺🇲✌️💪💕🌎

Lady down the street stopped by to let me know she saw my kids raising the flag this morning and it renewed her faith. I told her if watching my kids raise a flag renewed her faith, then her faith was pretty weak. She looked mad.
