They tell me, “Sir, radiation lasts for decades.” I say, so does success. So does strength. Nevada did great. Bikini Atoll, fantastic location, named a swimsuit after it, all the girls want one. We should do more atolls. People are saying it.
“We’re bringing back cancer folks, we are, yes we are. It’ll be bigger than ever. Remember seeing kids with three eyes? Some even would have an extra arm. My brother taught the unibomber. Smart guy. He supported big bombs, big big bombs. Just like me. We will have the biggest bombs folks.”

48% of Americans across the spectrum want to abolish ICE. It is not only a morally correct position — it is a winning one. You are fighting to create a gentler Gestapo while the Baileys get tear-gassed at a protest.
You are failing this nation.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

The people who support mass deportation policies never cared about whether people have "criminal records," and I caution people who want to stop mass deportations that they should not focus on the "criminal records" either.

This is a devastating thread. Read every word of it.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

It's a trope—perhaps in need of a name—where a huge piece of shit becomes more religious later in life but remains a huge piece of shit. We saw the same thing with Kanye, though Kid Rock seems to be the latest incarnation.

If you didn't feel some discomfort with your hobby, you wouldn't have trotted out this screechy defensive straw man. No one ever said anything about banning. But if you can't see where our over-broad permissiveness of sports betting has become a social liability, I wonder how "responsible" you are.
Banning gambling BC a minority of the population becomes addicted is like trying to ban alcohol for same reason. Prohibition didn't work the last time around.
As someone who bets responsibly & knows countless others who also do, your judgypants tick me off. Have a Margarita & leave wagering alone.

Very annoyed at the people who decided to open the floodgates to online sports betting, it is absolutely a scourge. Great piece from Gabrielle Gurley on people spending hours a day on these predatory apps.

States and leagues must face up to the damage from app-based gambling for the next generation of bettors, most of them young men.

"One doctor interviewed by The Intercept at a large hospital said they have not seen an increase in HIV positivity, but attributed it to the fact that '[those at greatest risk of HIV transmission] (KPs) are in hiding' and the hospital lost all funding to hire people to go where KPs dare to live."
For the Interept, I reported from Uganda about the effects of USAID cuts on LGBTQ people, HIV prevention activists and sex workers—and tried to tell the story from the POV of these important but criminalized communities. Please read and share.
