So much this. There is less than zero reason to give these guys the benefit of the doubt.

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

NYT headline: U.S. strikes second boat in pacific as anti drug operation expands.

Also, that doesn't look like a brand new tattoo. But 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, because covering a nazi tattoo with Norse mythology/symbols is going to quiet the talk.*

*Yes, I know. But Norse symbols have been co-opted by the far right/white supremacists for some time.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

🧵Spotted Recently at the Beach in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human (1.5?) is toddle-running down into the surf only for the receding water to come back again!
(Oh no!)
Shrieking she runs back up the sand again.
But wait!
The water's going away again?
Hmm.
Maybe it's time to go back in... (1)

Gee, I’m old enough to remember when Separation of Church and State was a thing…

Also, it’s both laughable and grotesque the entirely false way these guys are describing the protests and the protestors. It was ordinary Americans who love this country and don’t want our democracy (further) eroded!

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

This man is evil or stupid or both.

Pregnancy and childbirth famously affect people under 50! Not to mention chronic illnesses. Good grief.

DeSantis said “Most people, particularly under 50, what they really need is a catastrophic plan that’s affordable, where then they can pay whatever they’re doing out of a health savings account.”

'Catastrophic care' should be enough for them.

The deadly Caribbean strikes—illegal, unethical, and bad strategy all at once—aren’t conducted through some automated process. People select the targets and pass them along, likely with claims about intelligence. People give the order to fire, and execute the command.

Who is a very good question.
