Good. Hope he gets frostbite on his tiny little pecker.
This video is making rounds w/o context:
This is Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6er who was charged with beating a police officer with a baseball bat.
He and nine other fellow racists wanted to burn a Quran in a Somali neighborhood in Minneapolis. He was pelted with water baloons and marched out.

City of Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor just claimed that the lights on the Smithfield Bridge have been off for 3 years and that he fixed them.
Such a weird thing to lie about. Anyways…receipts.

We have a childcare crisis in this country.
In my home state of PA, the system is so broken that childcare workers would spend nearly half their salary to get care for their own kids.
If Republicans were serious about affordability, they should consider the Child Care for Working Families Act.

Donald Trump is the crisis of masculinity in America. Anyone who grins as he steals a prize he lost and isn't instantly mocked by everyone he loves, possibly to tears, has no idea what it means to be a grown man.

"A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas... around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest on Wednesday night."
They were driving home from a son’s basketball game.

After what they’ve done to the innocuous phrase “diversity, equity & inclusion” (DEI) I truly hope you can see that they will always distort our words.
I think we could have had our cake and ate it too by saying "Reform the Police."
Same implicit message, but harder for adversaries to twist it.

We already had the failed Beer Hall Putsch.
Now we have the new SA on the streets crushing dissent, disappearing and shooting enemies.
When someone finally shoots an ICE agent in reply to this lawless insanity, we go to Kristallnacht.
This is just what we in the entertainment biz call a reboot.

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch.
Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades.
Disgusting.

There really is no question this is an unequivocal murder. The officer fires 3 shots at the car. This still is taken before he fires the last 2 of those 3 shots: He is CLEARLY out of the car's path of travel, and in no danger whatsoever.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.
