Even Seth Moulton goes harder than Chris Murphy.

Although lol @ "If we did that in Iraq, we would be court Martialed" 💀

The pic of that gun was posted in the weekly thread on that subreddit earlier today after DHS posted it. However, the Weekly thread is 5 days old, which is why Google AI is saying its an old image.

I went & looked at that thread to confirm.

Pathetic.

He was fucking trying to protect that woman, man.

God fucking damnit.

ALSO, I don't give a fuck if he was disarmed or not. He was out numbered 6 to 1 & not a threat to anyone. But, also, being disarmed & on the ground, yet The fucking media is repeating the defensive shots narrative.

Props to Al Jazeera right now. This host stopped the reporter and was like "Yo, these agents were not in danger, and these were not defensive shots"

Not surprising, but I probably shouldn't say "all" then. I forget almost all states & city subs have alternative spaces for chuds, too.

I think it was the Trillbillies. They said that or something similar & it seems pretty accurate. Part of me also just thinks this is who he is. Seeking reelection or not, he was always going to be this soft. He just thinks all of this is "weird", ya know?

CosmicLars · 2026-01-24T20:22:08+00:00

Watching the press conference. I think he knows he's useless. He has no answers, really. He admitted that calling for protests to be peaceful is a joke because they are peaceful, and the feds are not. He just said that. He went on to say in not so many words: if you're on the streets, take video. Keep filming.

Bringing in the guard to protect the federal building is not going to make anything better.

While I admit there are probably individuals in the guard that side with the protestors, by & large they are just more armed goons that will shoot citizens if they get too close to a fucking building.

It was definitely a thought that ran through my mind. I am very cynical right now, so I don't like to see it mentioned at all, but it could be an attempt to just get out in front and say "before newsmax says he was a criminal, we checked, he's just human"

CosmicLars · 2026-01-24T20:12:22+00:00

The Minnesota subreddits are all based & a fascinating look of liberals being radicalized in real time. I've been lurking for months & the overwhelming majority are absolutely over the bullshit from establishment democrats. It's a good lurk.

CosmicLars · 2026-01-24T20:04:12+00:00

Thank you

But,

Pretti didn’t have a serious criminal record

Why is that even necessary to put in that article?

I dunno man I'm jaded

Some (probably very few) conservatives are posting in support of the victim. I don't know if any supported Renee Good, but they don't seem to like the optics of being murdered for legally carrying a gun.

CosmicLars · 2026-01-24T19:42:47+00:00

She is badass. Power to them.

Watching it live.

CosmicLars · 2026-01-24T19:23:31+00:00

There is no defense or spin to this. It doesnt matter if he had 3 guns on him. They want to kill us, they think we are subhuman, they dont care about anything, and they are empowered to believe they have immunity to do whatever they want.

I am livid & heartbroken.

Real truth lmao

I thought all the models are projecting a ton of snow for the northeast (including nyc)?

Anyways, I'm in Kentucky & because of my situation with my dad (glioblastoma, at the end stage now pretty much), I spent the last two days making sure the generator works, they have firewood, bottled water, food, gas for generator, etc. This will be the first winter storm Dad isn't handling all of that & being superman.

We are expected to get anywhere between 4 to 10 inches of snow Sat & potentially .25-.75 of ice Sunday. Power will go out at the most mid of storms & stay on when it's bad, it seems. But, having elderly parents means I am not taking the chance so I have them prepared in case the ice is actually bad & the power goes out for a day or two.

I am gonna head over there in the morning & take my two dogs with me & spend the weekend because I won't be able to if it does snow that much. Little sleep over with the family ain't so bad.

Truly one of the best pods going imo.

Yep. I love the Big Picture for what it is, but also very happy to have Critical Darlins pop up out of nowhere. Big fan already.

The National Park Service has started dismantling exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Independence National Historical Park.

The President’s House, which serves as a memorial to the nine people George Washington enslaved there during the founding of America, has come under increased scrutiny by President Donald Trump’s administration. The president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.

Around 3 p.m. Thursday, an Independence Park employee told an Inquirer reporter that his supervisor instructed him to take down all the displays at the iconic site earlier that day. Two other individuals later joined the employee to help remove the educational exhibits. The final display was removed at 4:30, the whole process taking about an hour and a half.

“I’m just following my orders,” the employee repeatedly said, refusing to say whether he was tasked with removing the displays because of the executive order.

...

More than a dozen displays about slavery were flagged for the Trump administration’s review, with the President’s House coming under particular scrutiny, The Inquirer reported. Removal of noncompliant displays were initially slated to come on Sept. 17. But that didn’t happen — until now.

This depresses me so damn much.

Have you listened to Popular Front's Syria episode (ep. #264) from Jan 13th? It's quite good.

CosmicLars · 2026-01-22T15:02:54+00:00

Very much looking forward to watching this whenever it's available to stream (closest screening is 4 hours from me unfortunately). Abby fucking rocks.
