“Officers stayed on top of Rhyker for more than 15 minutes, with his face in a pillow. During this time, Rhyker begged for his life and screamed that he couldn’t breathe. His pleas, and those of his aunt and grandmother, were ignored,” Wagner said.
This is straight murder. Another cop murders someone having a medical emergency. Why?
Because his feelings got hurt.
@bitcodavid The more horrible it sounds, the more likely it is that some Republican already did it, and that’s where they got the idea.
@pixelcode Someone said to me “there were innocent children and civilians around those exploding devices.” I replied “you mean there were innocent children and civilians around those terrorists.” @ClintBarton
@ai6yr That’s only because I wasn’t your French teacher. 😉 Some of my former students have gone on to use French at work, or even married francophones.
@colo_lee All of the Republican messaging is centered on hate, division, the removal of personal rights, and the imposition of only Republican officials into your private life decisions. This extends from what you can read to who can vote to what goes on with your bodily autonomy. They’re bad at the economy. They’re bad with immigration. They’re bad at dealing with crime. There’s no reason to vote for them whatsoever and plenty of reasons to vote for Democrats.
@Rycaut @Tengrain Yeah, here’s Western PA which is a big deal. Eff that national guy.

@ai6yr Agree to disagree.
@Incognitim We need to put a bag over his head.
@GottaLaff More like a blow to the Teamsters president, who is clearly at odds here with the members.
J.D. Vance offers ‘proof’ of pet-eating, but it’s proven false with 1 phone call
@lolonurse Let’s all roll our eyes together. 🙄

Federal judge deals blow to Mark Meadows in Arizona criminal election subversion case
A judge dealt former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows a blow on Monday, rejecting his request to move his criminal charges in Arizona to federal court.
U.S. District Judge John Tuchi wrote Monday that Meadows... failed to "demonstrate that the conduct charged in the state's prosecution relates to his former color of office as Chief of Staff to the President."

Amber Thurman should be alive today. Denied timely care under Georgia’s restrictive abortion laws, she died from a treatable infection. Her young son is now without his mother because of the policies Donald Trump put in place. And she’s not the only one. We cannot stay silent while MAGA Republicans attack our health, lives, and freedoms. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death
Like after every shooting in America, I have only thoughts and prayers
...and a burning desire for real #GunControlNow
Bragg Asks Judge to Extend Trump’s Gag Order, Citing Deluge of Threats

Howard Lutnick blamed Biden for the high inflation, said #TFG has nothing to do with #Project2025, & he'd authorize more oil drilling bc EVs -not viable for decades. He spoke on CNBC today, with little pushback. Lutnick will be co-chair of TFG's transition team with L McMahon, if the ex-pres. wins. His level of mendaciousness matches TFG's.
Lutnick is as unhinged as TFG, but more dangerous. He'll help carry out TFG's🚨diabolical plans.
Watch:
This is horrific and not remotely surprising. There is plenty of data showing that pre-Roe there was no difference in the rate of abortion; the only difference was female mortality. We knew the Dobbs decision would kill women. They did it anyway. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death
