I think one measure of who is bringing the violence to protests is how many reporters have been injured by protesters and how many have been injured from police.

Quick reminder that the majority of Americans live in cities, "real America" is urban, and when people scream obscenities about cities they are screaming obscenities about America.

All eyes are on the Senate Finance Committee as its critical text for the Republican mega-bill, which covers taxes and Medicaid, will be out today. I outline what I hear will be in that package, what the rest of the bill looks like, and the extreme inequality it will foster in this update:

Ya know. I saw the Titanic exhibit in Vegas and that was enough for me.

Honestly. I think had any of these people known what was going down at OceanGate leading up to these dives most of them would have pulled out. Unbelievable the people left went along with it and I hope there is accountability of some sort in the future.

Ope. 39 minutes in - young man actually looks into OceanGate and is like WTH bro you can’t use that. Thank goodness.

After watching the Netflix doc this Hulu doc with interviews of random people who paid thousands (in some cases their life savings) to play Russian roulette feels nauseating. Almost like…yeah this terrible thing happened but oh-em-gee I got to see Titanic! (Like no self reflection?) 🤦‍♀️ #titan

If you’re going to watch the Titan submersible documentaries, watch the Netflix one first. So you understand why it was beyond risk. It was ignoring the science and succumbing to hubris. #titan

I’m really sick and tired of people who don’t live in cities treating the thought of big cities like they are cesspools.

Oh my God. Nationalizing key industry by sleight of hand.

Minnesota noice

If the ‘radical’ or ‘woke’ left were the problem, then people would be pelted with quinoa and canvas NPR totes, not bullets.

This is the moment when he realizes what he's become.

So important. This is America. Freedom, equality, democracy, human rights are not and never have been dictated by polling approval.

Anyone who has ever lived in LA county will not be surprised it was the sheriff's department that escalated

It was really just a concept of a parade

Drop your favorite protest sign

The great con.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Remember, in America only the secret police get to wear masks

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one. That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

Sure reads like a planned assassination to give Republicans control of the Legislature The Minnesota House was tied 67-67 until Hortman (D) was murdered The Minnesota Senate is tied 34-34, unless Hoffman (D) dies

"Sheriff has history of cop-like behavior"

okay so we've got -- DHS goons handcuffing a U.S. Senator -- Marines in LA violating posse comitatus -- political assassinations in MN And that's just, like, the last couple of days

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

I no longer view the crisis before us as a GOP vs. Democrat issue, and I haven't for a long time. This is a profound issue of choosing to fight supremacist politics, of necropolitics-- of whether you believe it's worth protecting people's right to live with a measure of dignity and respect, period

FL police preemptively threatening people before the weekend.

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

Folks voted for Trump believing he is some strong man on foreign policy. Well. He hasn’t stopped Putin in Ukraine and now Netanyahu is bombing Iran.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Republican members of Congress awfully quiet at the moment. Tells you everything we need to know.

They just arrested a US Senator for yelling that he had some questions during a Kristi Noem press conference. Where are all you free speech absolutists now? Oh, right. You were lying.

Noem should be removed. But Congress is basically useless at this point.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

My take - find a No Kings rally this weekend. You don't need to get fancy, just show up. People need to gather. www.nokings.org
