Correct. And let’s talk about their “entitlements” as a part of their compensation for doing a suck ass job, and generally, being homophobic/racist pricks. (Not to mention, getting away with horrific crimes they commit simply because they’re cops.)

Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away." Other reporters say they have been targeted too. My story below:

Is anyone going to report and/or say what’s really going on here? The shooting and killing of the Hortman’s is Trump and the Republican party’s fault. Jesus fucking christ! Why won’t anyone with a national platform say this???? It’s the truth and NO ONE WILL SAY IT. FUCK!!

There was definitely a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode wherein a retired alcoholic opera diva was giving herself Chardonnay enemas so nobody knew she was still drinking. And when I see Hegseth…

Two bands I could never get into: Duran Duran Steely Dan But if you combine them, Duran Duran Steely Dan, they become the name of a 1940’s comic strip character who worked in the mines and came home covered in soot to his scrappy wife and kids.

(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

I’m a creative. I’m having a helluva time staying focused, and writing, or rehearsing anything these last 72 hours. Any other empaths feeling extra dissonance lately? I’m about to execute a serious cleansing up in here.

The removal of David Hogg is everything you need to know about the ignorance and arrogance of a political party that’s done the very best job possible at disregarding every generation younger than X.

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

I just made Wendy come all the way upstairs to smell my room, as I’m convinced I’ve captured (through various scent mediums; candles, diffuser, fresh air, et al.) the exact bouquet of a newly renovated Barnes & Noble.
