Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Work well done, Drew. Rest now.

Drew was THE illustrator who created so many classic movie posters, you might have no idea how much of it was actually painted, they were so well done.

When I get home, I will host the documentary, "Drew; The Man Behind The Poster"

Much love to his family.

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

Quick update on what we just saw here—*before curfew*, ISP troopers, Broadview PD and CCSO deputies began menacing demonstrators outside the ICE facility. Several arrests.

Pepper ball guns at the ready, a bit of a standoff going with remaining protesters. All people are doing is playing music.

Like “this woman who made it her life’s job to teach kids is obviously faking her advocacy for kids”
HUH??
She’s ain’t shut up about the horrors they’ve been going through since the “war” started 😭😭
She got death threats and everything.

Wow this is the most brain dead thing I’ve read today. Kudos!
Never thought I would see 🥷🏾s have beef with the woman teaching kids ABCs

larry @larrrrrry.bsky.social · 4d

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying
