WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

National Guard Keeps DC Residents Safe By Crashing Into A Car, Trapping Driver Inside

The Weird Pathologies of the Right-Wing Mind

We can all agree this is basically an admission, right?

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.

what leadership looks like

Remember when political pendants used to claim Trump’s MAGA is a populist movement?

I wrote about MAGA's shocking cruelty and how Republicans have only gotten smaller and pettier under Trump's rule. www.publicnotice.co/p/mike-lee-w...

If there’s a silver lining here…

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

The Minnesota Shootings Reveal MAGA America's Moral Brokenness.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

not just the headline, NOWHERE in the story does it say they were Democrats. What the ACTUAL FUCK, @cnn.com

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

‼️‼️

“According to KMSP-TV, the lawmakers were shot by two men dressed like police officers and driving a car that looked like a police car. One of the suspects was taken into custody in Brooklyn Park after an officer-involved shooting. The second suspect is still at large.” bnonews.com/index.php/20...

A Minnesota state senator and a Minnesota state rep were shot at their homes this morning. No jokes. No quips. This is what terrorism looks like.

Update: Gov. Walz confirms that Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. Officials are “cautiously optimistic” that state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife will survive their injuries.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-good-f...

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

The absolute cringe of the right-wing pearl-clutching over a 40% Latino city waving Mexican flags at protests when they themselves jerk off to the Confederate (loser) flag and never once complain about Israeli flags being displayed...
