New in PN: Republicans in Congress show signs of life
"Amid the understandable despair, it can be easy to miss flickers of hope. But the fact is that the regime is ramping up violence and terror in part because its grip on the nation, and even on its own party, seems to be slipping."

Felon, rapist, genocidaire, pedophile protector, corrupt, pussy grabbing, lying, traitorous thief is what you elected
The military assault on Venezuela, the shooting of a woman by an ICE agent, the launch of the White House’s new revisionist website about January 6—these three events convey a powerful and unsettling message from Trump and his crew:
Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want.
Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want.
The Trump doctrine: Violence is us
The message is clear—be afraid.

This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.
You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs
