First of all, I apologize on behalf of the United States. We are being held hostage by a bunch of fascists.

Second of all, please help us. Thank you.

I think if I have one critique of “The Pitt” is that I wish it were willing to love its main characters less

There’s a whole world of medical misogyny and medical racism (ailments dismissed or undiagnosed/untreated) that can exist irl even from medical staff who think they are acting in good faith

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

Just the world’s worst people.
Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

This reporting—claiming that Team USA was booed—is totally false. I watched the arrival and the warm reception was unambiguous, especially when contrasted with the introduction of JD Vance. Embarrassing fail for WSJ.

I think we’re seeing a combo of bad faith takes from evil people and then also straight up idiots who are confusing the 25-30 year olds they see playing teenagers on TV with ~actual~ teenagers, who very much look like the children they are. I live near a high school. They are children.

In light of the new release of Epstein files why isn’t any member of congress calling for trump’s resignation? Other countries are holding their officials accountable. Why aren’t we?
