Johnetta Carr awarded $2.9 million after being wrongfully convicted as a teen: rollingout.com/2025/06/19/w...

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Excellent coverage and exceptional episode, @reblavoie.bsky.social, @kevinpflynn.bsky.social, and @inbetweenpod.bsky.social! #KarenRead

I'm sorry, WHAT?

Why did the jury find Adnan Syed guilty? Juror Stella Armstrong said it was b/c she thought Jay would go to prison based on his testimony. As we report in today's Undisclosed bombshell episode, there was an undisclosed deal ensuring he would stay free: audioboom.com/posts/873563...

Not every march needs to end with a specific homework assignment! As 50+ years of Prides show, sometime the point is simply to prove you exist. I think a lot of people felt much less alone after they went home yesterday; and that's a huge step towards joining something, anything, tomorrow.

The suspect remains at large & was impersonating a police officer when he shot the victims in an “act of targeted political violence.” Tragically both Rep. Melissa Hortman & her husband, Mark, have died. Sen. John Hoffman & his wife, Yvette, remain hospitalized. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is exactly why soldiers should not be deployed in these situations. They are not trained for it and will make dangerous mistakes. I’m grateful for their service but they need to go home.

i get older but my pop culture references stay the same age.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

ICE agents saw a brown man and went to work. @daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I on the assault of Senator Padilla and how this is the moment for Democrats and the majority to rise up against Trump's fascist regime, which will come for everyone. thelefthook.substack.com/p/senator-al...

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Joey Watkins's lawsuit "claims county and GBI investigators deliberately hid reports, notes and other evidence showing his innocence" until he was exonerated "based on evidence unearthed by the Georgia Innocence Project and [the Undisclosed Podcast]": www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Authorities have arrested two men in Washington state, who had an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives, and body armor. They nearly killed a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord. If these were immigrants it'd be front page news. However... 1/2

Two months before Indiana acquired Tyrese Haliburton, Rick Carlisle was already preaching the high-octane system that would power the Pacers’ Cinderella NBA Finals in 2025. Then Haliburton arrived. He and his coach evolved. And success has followed. http://dlvr.it/TLF4jV

Iowa State football will "face a storm as strong as you can get" in it's first four games, and how that goes will play a pivotal role in defining the season. #BlueCy www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports...

All protestors need to do in California is wear MAGA hats and shirts and hold Trump posters and flags. Promote some conspiracy theories and also a Confederate flag. National Guard and police won't touch them.

For 25¢, you could drive your car for 5 minutes through the Auto Wash Bowl at 2 locations in Chicago. The 16 in. deep water in an 80 ft wide 'bowl' would wash off mud & manure as the cars drove at 10 mph. This photo is from 1924, at a time when most roads outside city centers were unpaved.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

A new ranking has Iowa’s economy at the bottom of the list. That should concern all of us. As your next Secretary of State, I’ll focus on making it easier to start and grow a small business in Iowa—because small businesses are the backbone of our communities and our economy.
