James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

-"interrogated people because of their ethnicity or accents"
-"broke windows and dragged occupants from their cars"

My mother had polio as a child in the 1920s-30s. She had a crooked back and trouble getting air into her lungs forever because of it. She had us first in line to get that sugar cube at school and I’ll be forever grateful.

In 1952, there were over 57,000 cases and over 3,000 deaths from polio in the U.S. The vaccine was introduced in 1955. By 1960, the numbers were down to 3,000 and 230. No deaths since 1980.
Breaking News: Rejecting decades of science, the chair of the federal panel that recommends vaccines for Americans said that shots against polio and measles — and perhaps all diseases — should be optional. The vaccines are credited with preventing disability and millions of deaths worldwide.
Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional, Rejecting Decades of Science
Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist who leads the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, said a person’s right to refuse a vaccine outweighed concerns about illness or death from infectious diseases.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

The thing about pretext is that it requires someone to make it text-text, which Powell does here. An astonishing moment and a grim one.

Here are the 20 US urban areas that had the highest per-capita transit ridership in 2024.
New York, unsurprisingly, dominated. Among the big urban areas, the other leaders were SF, DC & Boston.
A lot of small towns—like Ames, IA or Champaign, IL—did well, too. That's because they're college towns!

You can draw a draw a straight line from a right wing YouTuber's unverified viral video about Somali American daycares to ICE showing up in Minneapolis to this killing.
This feels like a galvanizing moment for the city in the same way George Floyd's death was five years ago.
