Since so many of y'all seem to be here for selfish (at best) reasons: I'm a curmudgeonly member of the democratic resistance (with an ability to see both sides of most issues). While cute animal and amazing vista pics are cool, DMs and such are not.

Writing things in their own language! How sneaky and unfair!
Peter Navarro: "People should read more about what China actually writes. They do it all in Chinese and they think people aren't looking at it because we're barbarians, but it's all there for us to see." (Note how CNBC has just given him an open mic to rant with no pushback on anything.)

5/ We should condemn political violence of all kinds, whether it comes from the left or right or is directed at Republicans or Democrats. But if we really want to be honest, there is much more right wing fueled violence than left wing violence.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming. The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent. 1/ Here's what's happening.
Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

The racism here is on steroids, as Trump tried to make case to MAGA that farmers need exemptions. Says brown people do hard labor "naturally" and don't get bad back, while also saying they've tried to replace them with people "in the inner city" but they can't get them to do the work.
Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.
