Hearing from Trumpists and their fellow travelers today, I've come to realize that if we build a huge, gilded ballroom at every elementary and secondary school in America, our schoolchildren will be so much safer from the scourge of constant gun violence.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Philip Bump@pbump.com

After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time." Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.

You know where this is going. I went to BRef and found the box score for July 22, 1986, when Ken Griffey Sr. hit 3 HR against the Phillies. AI is somehow world-transforming and inevitable but also worse than both a normal website and also my memory from 40 years ago.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

What a moment.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

They separated kids at the border in Trump 1, and people went crazy, and they backed down, kinda, but no one got prosecuted or went to jail. So now they're doing this shit, just stealing kids and shipping them off, because they know they're safe. This doesn't end until law enforcement makes it end.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.

Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*????????? This is a joke right ? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf. America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife. The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture) It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present. Full Story: bit.ly/3YwbaQR

After posting on the White House website just yesterday that Ashli Babbit was "murdered in cold blood," the administration states that the victim of the ICE shooting in Minnesota was justifiably killed as a "domestic terrorist."

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something. My post on how to remember this somber anniversary for democracy: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...

This is humiliatingly weak and pathetic. The dominant national ethos has become one of weak insecurity. It’s like if Frank Burns was a white nationalist.

Department of Interior says if you put a sticker over Trump's face on your national park entrance pass, the pass will be invalidated. Meanwhile Trump's decision to put his face on the passes is being challenged in court

Could Mr. Big Book Author ask this shit-throwing monkey who he thinks our adversaries are? The response would be fascinating (and likely horrifying).
