I want to say I’m stunned, but sadly it’s not shocking at all. Disgusting!

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

“Not at all”

For people out here believing Homan is some sort of savior, and acting like anything anyone in this regime says can be counted on

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.

The agents committed murder.

It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

The headline made me think you were blaming an alleged racist government by the cities or the entire state of Minnesota. I had to fully read the article to realize you meant the feds. Maybe that was the intent. But most people don’t read beyond a headline.

He should have said kids don’t need 37 pencils. They need six sevennnnnn. His deluded people would have loved that. That could have been his reelection rallying cry for 2028.
I’m sick of his lies and nonsense.

I am crying. There is hope.

This is amazing. And someone’s going to be very very pissed. Things here are about to get exponentially worse.

You mean Trump, right? They’re never ever going to tell him that. Look at the “experts” that Pam and Kristi brought in for this ridiculous summit.

Well said, Mark. Stay safe. Btw Rob McElhenney surely will play you in the story of our dark and terrible times if we survive.

Really beautiful. That is an important moment!

The world, especially in the US, is dreadful. This post and the comment thread sustained me today. My polydactyl Moxie joins the group. Read the alt text for a description of her glory when she’s not aggressively biting my arm to get my attention. She needs a sister.

I remember that we used to have to SHOW OUR WORK when doing math problems.

I bet he was really praying for the Rapture.

Agree with your assertion that you have to look closely at the graphs and their keys to understand, but the first one shows left wing as yellow, not red.

Brilliant and very much appreciated

Broken Seed Stitch Socks pattern by Hanna Leväniemi Please note that these are just my notes rather than a complete pattern. Unfortunately there are no detailed instructions for the heel and the toe included in the pattern.

It’s more of a formula than a pattern but it’s pretty easy to plug this into your fave vanilla sock pattern. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
