“It is an act of casual violence, one that changes not just the staging, but its most basic rhythms” @barneyronay.bsky.social on hydration breaks. The wet stain on this World Cup and something that simply cannot be allowed to spread beyond this World Cup. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

We finally have something nice to say about Trump: he’s made Taco Tuesday a global phenomenon.
“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
The man who watches Trump all day, every day
Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences. He says it’s ‘pretty bleak’

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.
Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
As the other E Higgins points out, he looks like he was disarmed prior to the shooting bsky.app/profile/eoin...
Eoin Higgins@eoinhiggins.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe guy in grey disarms the man on the ground being beaten—BEFORE shots were fired
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.
ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting. In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”
Rachel Maddow is the first major media television host who I have heard report: TRUMP IS A DICTATOR and we are living in his dictatorship! It’s true and it’s going to get worse. Americans appear very confused about our government. Otherwise Trump would’ve never been elected. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people don’t understand what’s happening to our country, it’s because they don’t want to.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · last yr.Exclusive: The White House is preparing to step up pressure against big banks over perceived discrimination against conservatives and crypto companies with an executive order.
People need to stop pretending that the arms shipment block on Ukraine was some pentagon only plan and focus their anger on the real person responsible; Donald Trump. The president could end this now, instead he is trying to weaken Ukraine for Putin’s benefit.
This is the man who: – Pulled humanitarian aid from Ukraine – Gutted programs protecting trafficked and stolen children – Froze military support at a critical moment
