The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all.
I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/mFaGCzZYJB

"The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!"
Thats apparently illegal to say in America.
Look no further than trump's big tantrum, blocking the bipartisan Housing Bill from being signed, as PROOF he doesn't give a shit about Americans.
All he wants is to rig the midterms because he shit the bed.
And he's dragging Republicans down with him. LOL.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
@Bubblebathgirl Actually Paul “the joke writes itself.” Green Water Services turns the reflecting pool green. And it only cost $1.7M. Such a deal. Get it.
Hey MAGA,
You have to agree that this petty shit, trump covering up the name of the Kennedy Center with a tarp since he had to take his own name down, really makes him look like a little bitch.
A tiny, whiny, pathetic little bitch.
Addiction is never an excuse, but it can be an explanation. Seeking genuine forgiveness from those we have harmed is one of the hardest things to do in recovery. It’s one of the hardest things for any of us to do in life. I’ve found that, before you begin that journey, you have to first forgive yourself. I would love to hear about your experience, strength and hope today.
This is a portrait I painted of one of many heroes of mine from the Civil Rights movement. The Rev. James Zwerg, circa 1961. He was one of the Freedom Riders, along with John Lewis, William Barbee, Catherine Burks, and many others, who pulled into Montgomery, AL on a bus May 20, 1961.
He volunteered to step off first.
The mob was waiting with baseball bats, chains, and clubs. They beat him until three of his vertebrae cracked, his nose broke, and every tooth in his head was fractured. They beat him unconscious on the pavement. A Black stranger in coveralls walked up and said, “Stop beating that kid. If you want to beat someone, beat me.” And they did. He saved Zwerg’s life.
White ambulances refused to take him. He lay in the street for over an hour. That is the moment I painted. Bloodied suit. Head bowed.
At Martin Luther King Jr.’s urging, Zwerg later went to seminary and was ordained in the United Church of Christ.
Rev. Zwerg is now 86 and lives in Tucson, Arizona. His courage and conviction, alongside that of countless others, helped save this nation. These are the people I celebrate as we near our 250th anniversary as a nation.
