This is not true. All of the evidence from videos and eyewitnesses show the booing started when Vance appeared on the jumbotron. An accurate headline would say this:

"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"
In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Palantir is expanding for mass-surveillance on all Americans.
He bought JD Vance's Senate seat and just got a tax cut from the Trump tax plan.

Your reminder that ICE is a for-profit industry and the companies profiting are huge donors to the politicians who voted to continue funding ICE.

Trump's entire Republican party comprises less than 30% of the American population. They're hateful and loud, but they are not the majority of Americans.

He took a pair of binoculars, sat in his car where he knew car break-ins would happen, and then followed the car to see where it went to fence the stolen goods.
Then he arrested the fence.

The racist video posted by the President is perhaps the most egregiously racist thing shown in the White House since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915. Here's an article from Denver's Black newspaper in 1915 calling for Americans to denounce such racist imagery.
