This is really good! This is what journalism is! I wish many media institutions would apply this same logic to their coverage of Gaza and the loss of hundreds of their colleagues there who were trying to do real journalism too! More of this!!

If you ever think, it’s cool I can do a short work trip in the middle of my move. Don’t do it, there is a level of fatigue awaiting you as you try to shovel out the car to do those final loads of small crap that you honestly cannot fathom

Important reminder that Alex Pretti did not "bring a gun to a protest." There was not a "protest." He was an observer filming and directing traffic because ICE showed up to terrorize his neighbors.

If he‘s replaced with someone worse, which, good luck—the takeaway is that that person, too, can be driven out and into disgrace

the idea the that the men that executed Alex Pretti in broad daylight on camera are still being allowed to keep "doing their jobs" is absolutely terrifying.
Bovino says they will never tell us which agents killed Alex Pretti— and they will keep working the streets.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

TIL that sleet is way better than freezing rain or wintry mix because it freeze fully before it hits the ground which means it accumulates like snow or hail rather than creating an ice glaze
