Proud Boys member Tusitala Toese (aka "Tiny") has been sentenced to eight years in prison for instigating riots, carrying out multiple assaults, and illegally using weapons, among other things.
Toese had been something of a hero among his fellow right-wing extremists for his repeated willingness to carry out violence in and around Portland, Oregon. For earlier attacks, he was repeatedly given probation or sometimes not even arrested or charged as his violence escalated. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/07/21/proud-boy-tusitala-tiny-toese-sentenced-8-years-prison-violence-portland-rallies/

I would like to see a new federated permission like "allow crowd editing of the image description." That way, important images can be crowd-described once they are important or seen often enough to bother. I guarantee people will volunteer to do it. There could even be a "call" button to flag the the item as needing one. The item's author can opt-in to keeping the right to approve such modifications.

My spouse returned from a road trip to Galveston with #Covid. And now, I have it too. Three and a half years of precautions, and it’s finally hit us 😞 . Fever, congestion, cough, and aches, so we’re both taking Paxlovid. I’m really happy I seemed to have avoided getting anything while on my flights to Florida, or while hanging with my Mom’s friends at her retirement community. Instead, he got it from some unmasked Texan while I was away. Be careful out there, folks. It’s really not over.
Very good of President Uncle Joe Biden to do this. https://apnews.com/article/biden-monument-emmett-till-black-civil-rights-6d26b248f906a4ce5654cb2f11c9ffa2

A modern, progressive society does not need or want people walking around with weapons of war hanging off their shoulders.
We are better than this.
Vote every right-wing, Xtian nut job out of office.
I don't know about you, but I want to live in a peaceful, civil society where every little thing doesn't turn into a killing of a human. Over stupid shit!
People walking around the streets carrying weapons & other deadly items of war is not Self-Defence.
It Never was & never will be.
I am not talking about someone who wants to keep a weapon at home for protection or hunting This is a deliberate, self-prophesizing tactic to bully, harass & murder to keep & gain power until complete control.
The reason: They have always been planning for a fight.
What do we do about it?
Vote the magats out of office.
The Moment of Truth for Our Liar in Chief
Maureen Dowd
WASHINGTON — A man is running to run the government he tried to overthrow while he was running it, even as he is running to stay ahead of the law.
That sounds loony, except in the topsy-turvy world of Donald Trump, where it has a grotesque logic
Has Trump finally run out of time, thanks to Jack Smith, who runs marathons as an Ironman triathlete? Are those ever-loving walls really closing in this time?

Steep Cost of Ron DeSantis’ Vaccine Turnabout
A grim chapter he leaves out of his rosy retelling of his pandemic response
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/22/us/politics/ron-desantis-covid.html
In September 2020, with COVID-19 killing >600 Americans daily, White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Birx received a distraught call. It was Florida surgeon general Dr. Scott Rivkees.
Months before COVID vaccines would become available Gov. Ron DeSantis decided that the worst was over for Florida, he said.
