The only details these people care about in situations like this is the race and gender of the perpetrators

The reason they are fixated on those details is because they are bigots
From morning after Canada’s second deadliest school shooting on record. Almost as if reputable outlets take time to verify facts, or – just maybe – gender identity isn’t the most pressing issue when six children and two adults have been murdered.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

Hello! I see you've decided to conflate a human being being an evil fascist apologist committing crimes and perpetuating fraud with (checks notes) being a woman. Perhaps you would like to not do this.
Bondi is clearly going through menopause. “…mood changes and "brain fog," often begin during perimenopause (mid-40s to early 50s) - along with irrational moods and temper tantrums

Pam Bondi won’t resign, and she won’t be fired. She’s doing exactly what her boss hired her to do.

Because Pam Bondi is the most corrupt and depraved Attorney General in American history, she doesn't seem to care that it's her job to bring rapists of girls and young women to justice--not be a cheerleader for the fucking Stock Market.

So grandma, when authoritarianism came, what did the media do?

Well, honey, they framed everything as a battle between two sides, and never actually said one side was undermining the rule of law, damaging institutions, and creating a new Fash Tech Oligarchy™️ that was unaccountable to the people.

dear peace monks, you don’t know me but DO NOT GET ON THAT BUS
Incredibly honored to welcome the Buddhist monks completing their Walk for Peace in Washington, D.C. this morning.

Their courage and compassion are a powerful reminder of what leadership should look like. May their journey challenge Congress to choose peace, dignity, and unity.

We really do need to rebuild the capacity to meet strangers in public places, and stuff like this ruins it for everyone.

Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

Thinking about the time I was at a quantum gravity meeting and the man across from me was talking to me and a man next to him turned and said in all seriousness “don’t talk to her, she’s difficult” and it was because I had reacted ”badly” to racism. Meanwhile their heroes were hanging with Epstein.

To have one ICE employee arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness.
This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.
