The LAPD shot a woman at point blank range with a rubber bullet all because she was asking to get to her home. She posed absolutely no threat.
This is what Trump’s America looks like.
I have never understood why more reporters and members of Congress don't just ask questions like this more often. We need to do a better job exposing the reality that many of the people currently in charge literally have no idea what they are talking about.
The tone of victimhood from the Trump-right is really startling right now. You control the House, Senate, and White House. You have a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court majority (including 3 Trump appointees). You have a league of federal judges from Trump's first term.
Also, thanks to Elon, you have control of the most influential social media platform on the planet (where the scale is very obviously being thumbed in your favor), something close to infinite money, and have purged the federal workforce.
At what point do you realize that your agenda is being stymied because of unlawful power grabs and incompetence, not the "system" or the "deep state" or the "rogue judges"?
You have won control over all these power centers.
It seems clear to me that when government officials use Signal, WhatsApp, private servers etc to communicate about government business, they are doing so in order to avoid transparency laws. That should be a scandal even if a reporter isn’t accidentally added to the group chat.
