The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.
The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.
I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….
Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates.
Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction.
So we’re doing it ourselves:

Trump and Bondi's Injustice Department has been turned into nothing more than a ham-fisted vehicle of revenge and intimidation. Bondi is probably the worst in U.S. history, and Spiro Agnew and John Mitchell were convicted of crimes.

Over the years since Jaime was killed, I worked hard to reduce gun violence in America. Republicans arguments focused on the need for the 2A to defend us from the tyranny of our Government.
I guess that was all bullshit!

Congress can freeze out funding for ICE in 2 weeks — but only if Democrats are a unified opposition. To make that happen, we must flood their offices with calls to demand ICE Out For Good.

Old School have the money, but if you have a candidate worth backing in the primary, back them with everything you can. At the very least a good showing of someone far more progressive will warn them what we expect of them.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).
