"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

JON STEWART: “The city began covering their ass three weeks after 9/11.”

“There was poison in the air, on the ground, in your air conditioners, on your pets and clothes. The city knew. Rather than limit the damage, they covered it up to get back to business as usual.”

“After 9/11, business will never be usual again.”

just got off the phone with my university friend.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

5 months later:
Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.

He told me he's not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter.

I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face.

i really don't.

I’ve been getting many calls on the new CTE study released yesterday.

Here are the numbers.

Between 2016 and 2021, a total of 878 former NFL players died. Of those, 235 donated their brains to research. From the group of 235, 215 players brains had CTE.

This is a crisis.

For those of you that haven't read it, Chapter 13 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production.

No, we weren't overreacting to Project 2025.

🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens.

In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says.

And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing.

To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in.

That’s how panic starts.

And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.”

Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions.

They are supposed to de-escalate situations.

Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights.

When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.

Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

If thousands of people gather to cheer your name being ripped off a building at 4:00 am, even though you ordered the work hidden behind a tarp, just imagine how long the lineup will be to piss on your grave. Try to put a tarp around that motherfucker!

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who is sick and tired of trump's staged events, either to distract from Epstein files, or from his failed economy, or to get support for his damn ballroom.

ENOUGH ALREADY.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M of our tax money, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes, plus another 530 with minor traffic violations.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two civilian deaths.

Your tax dollars hard at work 🙄

Epstein Files ⏳- C’mon man!

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

What is @DAGToddBlanche hiding from the American people by killing this Epstein files link?

The action by Todd Blanche will have the opposite effect. Even more people will now see this information because they know the Trump DOJ tried to suppress it.

🚨A U.S. citizen, who was illegally assaulted and illegally detained by ICE agents, says that while an agent had his KNEE ON HER NECK, he told her…

“You don’t feel so tough now, bitch.”

A federal agent, with no legal authority to detain her, used an illegal knee-on-the-neck restraint, while verbally abusing a U.S. citizen.

And while she was being illegally held, struggling to get pepper spray out of her mouth and spitting it out, another agent then threatened her again, saying,

“Do that again and I’ll attack you down right here, right now.”

That is an explicit threat of violence, made during an unlawful detention, by someone acting under color of federal authority.

And after we see this abuse, this violence happening every day, on camera, DHS has the audacity to claim people are “demonizing ICE and Border Patrol,” and that criticism is what’s leading to “violence against agents.”

No. That’s projection.

What they are actually doing is demonizing and dehumanizing anyone who speaks out, anyone who knows their rights, anyone who disobeys them, so they can justify escalating force.

This is how they excuse illegal assaults.
This is how they normalize threats.
This is how they justify beating women.
