Anya lived fiercely for all of her 27 years. We are devastated.
No punishment will ever be enough for those who did this.
Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

How cool is it that that a woman who went to medical school in Minnesota and learned to cross country ski here is the first Mexican female to compete in the sport in Olympics. And Jessie Diggins met her at the finish line. The video is heart-melting.
Regina Martínez Lorenzo is the first Mexican woman to compete in Olympics cross-country skiing.
Other racers waited at the finish line to hug her. Brazil’s Bruna Moura, an 3 medalists, Karlsson, Ebba Andersson of Sweden, and Jessie Diggins from the US.

Glad you brought this up - this Mexican is the first and only in this sport, and everyone was impressed by her determination - the USA gold medalists were so sweet, she removed her skis and hugged her dearly. The MSNBC cut out all of it. Why? That's the best of the #Olympics! empathy and love.

n of 1: my undergrad child is planning to pursue a PhD in history, and abhors all chatCPG and gen AI with a passion that warms my soul
It's so striking to me all the essays about the death of the humanities and who and what to blame and blah blah blah and the answer is pretty much the undergraduate business major and everything it represents.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

How does the @nytimes.com not know this is sugar cane?
At the start of his Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny appeared in a field of green grass wearing a jersey featuring the number “64.” Fans immediately started tossing out theories about what the number meant.
What Was the ‘Ocasio 64’ Reference on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Look?
And where did his suit come from? The answers may surprise.

The AI de-aging of celebrities in all these Super Bowl ads is gross and actually looks awful. This trend can’t be over soon enough.

Your racist uncle is dying because he’s pretty sure Bad Bunny just said something anti-white. Like he doesn’t understand Spanish, but he’s definitely kind of sure.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
