Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

The usual press reach-around every fucking time someone affluent chooses to advocate for a common good is at least as old and calcified as calling Franklin Roosevelt a "traitor to his class." Sometimes, and routinely, men and women are capable of being governed by more than self-interest. Go figure.

You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is: 1. A liveable wage so people have time for it 2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity But that’s too hard.

Trump has been able to get what he wants for so long JUST BY SHOUTING LOUDER that he thinks he can do it to other countries. This entire administration has been an exercise in learning that's not a real thing. It's embarrassing how consistently it works in _this_ country, though.

I’m quite fluent in ALL CAPS. it was my first language as a child and it’s what I speak at home. my expert translation of Trump’s chaotic ceasefire posts indicates a man who hates doing his job abruptly realizing in panic that the US getting pulled into war means he will have to do his job every day

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

BREAKING: SCOTUS over liberals' dissent, blocks district court order requiring process before carrying out third country removals. SCOTUS's order allows Trump admin to carry out third country removals without the protections required—notice and opportunity to raise a challenge. No reason is given.

What the Trump Administration is not saying about taking military action in Iran is actually very telling. In my experience, the comms strategy is a choice. We can learn a lot if we just pay attention.

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

Questions, in no particular order: 1. Where’s the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio? 2. Is there a homeland security/CT plan given recent focus on mass deportations and downgrading of CT? 3. Did the “2 weeks” backlash push him or was it a done deal? 4. Did he notify Congress at all? (More soon)

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

So what would have happened if he didn't yell that he was a citizen? What would have happened if they didn't listen? I'm begging the few useful Dems left to make this kidnapping shit news. If you can't convince Americans to be against kidnapping, then quit. We elected you to protect Americans.

The BBC has confirmed it won’t air its documentary on Gaza’s medics. I know some of the journalists involved and they’re absolutely excellent. This statement is mealy-mouthed; you can’t “both sides” the facts on the ground of a genocide, and there’s a clear public interest in documenting those facts

This was the Rivoli in NYC. 50 years ago this AM I was in a car with the nervous director of “Jaws” and Albert Brooks heading over there. The director wondered whether there’d be a line. There was. It went around the corner and far beyond. He really hadn’t known this could happen. What a day!

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.
