And here’s a picture of my cat, just to brighten up the space.
I've done this thought experiment many times this past year.
Dr Oz: "I want to take a step back and do a little thought experiment, Mr President. If you God forbid had turned your head the other way in Butler, PA, it wouldn't have been an ear injury."

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

You took a bad turn somewhere if you're a cartoonist and your death inspires people to share screencaps of your tweets and not your long-running, extremely high circulation comic strip.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

There are so many examples of this that are never widely seen by the average American, who only checks on the news MAYBE once a day via their local station’s evening broadcast. If his behavior was as analyzed, picked apart and spread like Biden’s was, there would be a lot more concern out there.
Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

'Do it?' Dot, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

There were people in 1970 who thought the student protesters at Kent State deserved it when they were shot to death.
I’m reminding myself of that so I don’t fall into denial and imagine the sadistic glee I’m seeing on X about the ICE shooting is new. It’s not.
It’s a strand in our cultural fabric.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Fucking hell. Prepare yourself if you're going to watch the video of that murder in Minneapolis committed by an ICE agent (yes, murder). It's horrific, gut wrenching, and the inevitable result this has all been building up to.
