Has Trump called in the national guard to protect Democrat politicians from being murdered in their homes? No? More likely to pardon the gunmen. Probably already had.



Lots going on today, but I'm riding a train.

Specifically, the Alaska Railroad Costal Classic from Anchorage to Seward and back, arguably the greatest train in the United States.

That's what I was telling the kids protesting alongside me today: it's even more important that the people who *don't* agree with us see us today, than it is for the people who do. We were in a very conservative red area.

@kimlockhartga

Great point. And those who are too afraid to come out (many in red areas) need to see that there is strong support out there.

One lawmaker in the US state of Minnesota has been killed and another has been injured after "targeted shootings", Governor Tim Walz says.

Democratic politician Melissa Hortman (left in image below) and her husband have been killed, he says.

Their assassin was dressed like a cop.

horrible. Like in Putin's Russia ... How is succession? Do the reps now have a majority in both houses?
in reply to Markus Feilner

Republicans, control the house and the senate, and arguably the White House, too. But coexistence and compromise does not seem to be something they're interested in.


📞🧐 Putin just spoke on the phone with Trump: the call lasted almost an hour and was useful, - Russian presidential aide Yuriy Ushakov.



Someone on the Fields of Mistria subreddit explained that they can't make the hot himbo romanceable because they'd have to make a female counterpart romanceable too, and the only person they could do that with for some reason is Dell, who's a little girl. And like, I don't know what the fuck this person is talking about, because 1) no they wouldn't, and 2) the hot older fisherwoman Terithia is RIGHT THERE.
in reply to Rabbit Cohen

1. I feel certain there *must* be games before which have offered a woman you can romance but not a man. Gynephiles¹ can sit this one out just for once.

2. *GIS check for Terithia* Oh *heck* yes.

¹ Sometimes I wish we had a better word for this.

in reply to mcc

The thing is, there are loads of women you can romance in this game. Making the himbo romanceable would just mean there's one more man to romance than women, which seems fine?

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests.

None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

Cops aiming at journalists.
Cops aiming at politicians.

Report: US quietly sent 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel before its attack on Iran.

"Hellfire missiles would have been used for precision strikes".

"The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack Iran".

"The CIA was briefed in April & May on Israeli plans to unilaterally attack Iran’s nuclear sites."

That’s the Trump way, make chaos and build anger so that you cast irrational votes. It’s how weak and dangerous MAGA is and how uncaring TACO is. All for a buck. Trump puts a new twist on, “The buck stops here”.



"The man had a list of other lawmakers and officials in the vehicle police searched, and alerts were sent out to take action and provide security to others, Bruley said.

“There was a list of individuals, and the individuals that were targeted in this situation were on that list,” said Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota bureau of criminal apprehension. "
