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.

This is not a joke. He doesn’t joke. He isn’t capable of humor. Karoline Pieceofshitt said he was being “facetious.” And yes, we know he doesn’t have that authority, but he controls the military and has state officials more than willing to do his bidding, so this threat cannot simply be laughed off.

This is Dale Partridge a self identified "Reformed Christian" pastor. His church is small, only about 120 members. It's people like Dale that are leading this country to ruin, not because he has the majority, no because he & people like him vote. When you don't vote you allow these people to win.

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats.

"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said.

“Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

Is any Democrat besides Jamie Raskin going to talk about Trump selling pardons for millions of dollars to some of the most disgusting fraudsters and drug dealers in history? Any one of these is an impeachable offense and there are new ones almost every day. He isn’t even hiding the quid-pro-quo.

Renee Nicole Good died at the hands of evil, but we can make sure that she has the last word, that she did not die in vain, that Good will live on.

We cannot allow evil to prevail.

We cannot calm down or shut up.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

Let's not forget that Donald J. Trump, on TruthSocial claimed that Renée Nicole Good "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer".

Some of his supporters believe him. I saw many repeating or paraphrasing his words, claiming that she "ran" him "over" (which is not remotely true).

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce.

As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies.

This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
