At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

These are one sentence apart. Words, what do they mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Jonathan Joss's murder & the media's erasure of the anti-queer, racist violence that preceded it reminds me of what @marisakabas.bsky.social wrote about Nex Benedict's death & the media's erasure of the anti-queer violence that caused it. www.thehandbasket.co/p/nex-benedi...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

This is the reason I wake up every day and check if it's happened yet.

Beyond parody.

yeah that quote from adam squires is genuinely chilling

the national "fell for it again" awards competition has come to southern missouri. big fan of watching people delude themselves that this isn't what they voted for while the guy next to them smiles and speaks the truth: yes you did, you just feel bad about it now.

Young Kim is rep for California's 40th congressional district. She is on record that she would not vote for a bill that cuts medicaid. She just voted for a bill that will cut medicaid $700 billion over the next 10 years. She won last year with 55% of the vote. Vote her out in 2026.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

at a very basic level the bargain of working for the government was “we will not pay you as much as the private sector but you will have job security and a stable career with good retirement benefits” that is clearly no longer something we can promise so the price just went up
