The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Trump has been negative on immigration twice; after the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and after the Stephen Miller quotas went into place and sparked unrest. This is a sign people should be leaning into his outrages to highlight how terrible they are, not running away from the issue.

While there’s an active manhunt for the Trump supporter who went on a shooting spree against Democrats, Trump is laser focused on what really matters: whining that meteorologists botched the forecast for his birthday parade.

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

Obama and Biden both failed to do anything about right wing extremists and the big change we need is someone willing to use the state to confront and dismantle their networks, including using state force. For this to be successful it won’t look very “liberal.”

I like Pritzker a lot. I think he might go apeshit on these people the way they deserve if given the chance, and I don’t think he is a black hole of self-interest the way Gavin is, so higher chance he rises to the occasion.

I assume this is a lie, and they're actually using information from servicemember databases to identify and locate veterans for deportation. That is what Trump and DOGE promised they do with the personal data they stole, it's been a top priority since Day One. They know, they're just not telling.
