For 5 years he’s been promising evidence.

When asked for any, he responds like a little toddler.

Such a bitch

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

@MeghanMcCain Happy to explain this stuff to you, or, you know, you could google it or talk to countless nonpartisan election experts. But that would mean caring about facts and doing a little work and not just whining about vibes on Twitter

Did the New York Times Just Run an Anti-Platner Hit Job?

"The 'paper of record' centered its big scoop, on the leftist Senate candidate's 'unsettling' behavior with former girlfriends, on the uncorroborated accusations of a pro-Israel Republican activist."

So are we saying 2000 was compromised.

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

Deputy thinks an Acorn hitting the roof of his car is gunfire so he unloaded his firearm at his own car that had an unarmed suspect inside. This is next level incompetence.

​The incident took place in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Deputies from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call regarding a man named Marquis Jackson.

Jackson’s girlfriend had called the police, accusing him of stealing her car and sending her threatening text messages.

​Deputies located Jackson, detained him, handcuffed him behind his back, and placed him in the backseat of a standard patrol vehicle for questioning.

​Deputy Jesse Hernandez, a trainee at the time, was walking back toward the patrol vehicle where Jackson was being held. As he approached the passenger side of the car, a small acorn fell from an overhead tree and struck the roof of the vehicle.

​Because of the metallic thud it made on the roof, Deputy Hernandez misidentified the sound as a muffled gunshot from inside the vehicle. What followed was a massive cascade of panic:

​Hernandez immediately fell to the ground, rolled, and began screaming, "Shots fired! Shots fired! I'm hit! I'm hit!"

​Believing he had been shot in the torso and that Jackson was actively firing at him through the car windows, Hernandez drew his weapon and fired multiple rounds into the patrol car.

​Hearing her partner’s screams and weapon fire, Sergeant Beth Roberts—who was also on the scene—assumed they were under fire. She drew her weapon and also opened fire on the vehicle.

​In total, the two officers fired more than 20 rounds into the patrol car.

​Despite the patrol car being riddled with bullets and shattered glass, Marquis Jackson was completely uninjured. Because he was handcuffed, he could only lean away and press himself as low as possible into the floorboard/seat crack of the vehicle to avoid the gunfire.

​Deputy Hernandez was also not injured. After the dust settled, medical staff confirmed he had not been shot; his belief that he was hit was likely a psychological reaction to intense panic (often referred to as a phantom injury).

​The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive internal investigation into the shooting.

The investigation concluded that Deputy Hernandez’s use of force was not objectively reasonable. While Hernandez genuinely believed he was under threat, the investigation found no evidence of any weapon on Jackson, nor any reasonable justification for mistaking an acorn for a gunshot.

Sergeant Roberts' use of force was found to be legally justified under the "fellow officer rule," as she was reacting to what she reasonably believed was her partner being shot.

Deputy Hernandez resigned from the sheriff's office during the investigation, effectively ending his career in law enforcement.

​ Sheriff Eric Aden publicly released the bodycam footage and issued a formal apology to Marquis Jackson and the community, stating that the department failed in its duty to protect a suspect in their custody.

​Ultimately, Jackson was cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the shooting, and the event remains a textbook example used in law enforcement training regarding hyper-vigilance and the dangers of misinterpreting sensory input during high-stress situations.

The fact that we're being held hostage by the dumbest 32% of the country is really strange and annoying.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

if you oppose israel as a politician or a public figure, a lot of political operatives & mainstream publications will actively try to humiliate & make a lesson out of you. just remain steadfast and remember, no amount of manufactured outrage will wash the blood off their hands.

[Jejune The Annihilator @Midnight_JJ0]

Katie Gluek, the NYT hack who wrote the smear piece on Graham Platner, has parents who are *Israeli settlers* in the West Bank. As usual, the Israel lobby is demonizing a candidate b/c he's dared to criticize Israel. Many will be duped by these reprehensible tactics as usual
