Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

Republican leaders need to stop hiding from their constituents, from the health care crisis they’re causing, and from the negotiating table.

The clock is not just ticking—the alarm is going off. We need to act now, before these premium hikes become unavoidable.

No, bro — It’s not “cancel culture”, it’s consequence culture.

Stephen Smith isn’t being “canceled,” he’s being called out.

No Kings protest updates: Around 4:30 p.m., the last speech ended and demonstrators trickled out of Civic Center Plaza. Larry Hanson, 78, said it was the largest protest he had ever seen in San Francisco: “I’ve been on a lot of marches. But this was the most amazing one.”

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings
