Thankfully, the pendulum is swinging wider and faster nowadays. Hopefully whoever picks up the pieces of the executive branch in 2028 will use every single shameful moment like this to make a forceful case in defense of immigrants & immigration.

Look at this incredible data. Republicans have bailed on Mike Johnson. His Speakership is in trouble, and there is a reason why @aftynbehn.bsky.social has made a +22 Trump district competitive. 3/

What remains of the mainstream media has a choice this weekend:
Either keep amplifying the Trump admin's white nationalist lies about the DC shooting, or do reporting on the "Zero Unit" and the way in which the US itself spreads its murderous culture across borders.. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

What were the Afghan "Zero Units" that sources say the National Guard shooting suspect worked for?
The "Zero Units" were considered by the U.S. and its international partners to be among Afghanistan's most trusted domestic forces.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Vance, attempting "the weave," cannot conceal the fact that he's a contemptible troll. If, by some act of nature, he accedes to the presidency, he will end the era of polarization by unifying all sides, from left to right, in condemnation and mockery of his awfulness. www.youtube.com/shorts/EpiTX...

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity
