Attended a Make Good Trouble protest yesterday. Small turnout but it was a small town.The posts I've seen for protests in bigger cities indicate small turnouts also. Albanians can fill the streets night after night to protest a resort but Americans can't show up for one day? We're screwed come Nov.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

ICE shoots protester in stomach with "less than lethal" bullets—had to be rushed to hospital. Agent leans out of moving car to shoot with one hand—while driving with other. Threads banned me for showing these videos, but you can help my work here: buymeacoffee.com/alexjungle

This is what Wisconsinites have to pay to watch the Brewers, Bucks, and Packers play, and it’s simply outrageous. My new bill will put an end to those sky-high costs, making local games free for local fans.

To the family of Jonathan Ross... If one of your relatives was murdered after having done exactly nothing wrong other than trying to drive away from a stressful situation, would you accept the description of that person as a, "committed Christian, tremendous husband and father?" Didn't think so.
It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing
