1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

There are always actions and reactions, progress and regression. It's never forever nor easy to maintain, but from Ireland to Netherlands to US even to Nepal and Georgia and, of course, Ukraine, right now there's a strong, encouraging youth-led movement toward better politics and greater acceptance

Blue Jays scrape out another run to make it 4, which is, of course, is still only 2.84 runs US, so Dodgers are still in the lead.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Prop 50 update. As of yesterday 22%+ outstanding ballots returned. Early estimates I saw suggested race might get 45-55% return rate. If that still holds, 50%+ of eventual total ballots have been cast (figure easily 200k+ in mail/in drop boxes not logged) Wonder if predicted total has been revised.

Got our first direct taste of Trump Tariffs, straight no chaser. ~80% on small purchase from Japan. 107.58 tax. Pay on the spot or no package.
UPS guy said he's had to collect a bunch of these every day and lots of folks are just refusing the parcels. Sometimes tax is more than purchase price.

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.
