Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

I, for one, cannot understand why men like Rupert Lowe are opposed to banning X, despite it assisting sex offenders, paying people to invite the foreign powers to invade the U.K, and allowing state-sponsored cyber warfare against our democracy.

It's a real mystery...🤔

“Now people come from all around,” said Tyler Prowant, founder and president of the Gulf Coast Skatepark Association said of the DIY skatepark in Biloxi, Miss. “People say that they could go to a premiere concrete skate park, but that it doesn’t have the same feeling of community like ours does.”

they think they're making a movie. they visit wardrobe every day, make sure to get some glam shots and different angles, steven directs, and the rest demonstrate why we have the term "bad actor"
Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

Hard to reconcile this with the excellent video analysis by other Times staffers showing that the video Trump is relying on (show in the photo here) is not an accurate representation of what happened. Do Times staffers not share information? They should have played their own video for Trump.

Chiang and Mao both labelled the invading Japanese the same way. Which was not as incorrect as it might seem, given the Imperial Japanese Army was also the world's largest drug cartel at the time.
article itself is not "trump isn't bad, but trump is bad in a mob boss kind of way"

but like, if you look back at comparisons of e.g. early Social Democratic critique of Germany and Italy, referring to these guys as gangsters was fairly common place

Agree!
Reentry is essential to public safety.

Equipping folks leaving incarceration with the tools they need for a second chance helps them and the rest of us. We are all safer when people are working, connected with their families, and contributing to their communities.

Right now it should be absolutely clear why Canadians didn't travel to Minneapolis to watch IIHF World Junior hockey. That is why the stands weren't full.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
