The fecklessness of these two specific cowards is the reason I un-registered as Democrat a year ago. Get some actual leaders, @democrats.org, and maybe I’ll come back. But not before, not one second before that.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries weakened their already tepid demands for ICE reforms in a press conference on Wednesday — before negotiations with Republicans even started. “Certainly I think there’s agreement that no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion,” said Jeffries.
Schumer Subtly Pivots, Saying ICE Can Wear Masks in “Unusual” Circumstances
The Democratic leaders’ supposed demands for reform were already previously condemned as weak and ineffective.

Days after covering a protest last week, I realized I had been shot with a new so-called "less-lethal" munition that the LAPD is using more commonly at protests: the FN303. This week, Chief McDonnell said that officers used the FN303 because a judge banned the LAPD from using 40mm launchers.

Any bookstore that can't sell as many copies of Backmask as they can get their hands on is just doing it wrong.
Received seven bookstore returns today, six copies of Backmask and one copy of It Came from the Swamp. All in good shape and now all on sale for just $13.

Does every writer have that one friend who keeps bringing up the book idea they want you to write for them, despite the fact that it doesn't make sense, wouldn't sell, isn't the kind of thing you write, and who can't pay anything up front but promise a percentage "in perpetuity?"
No? Just me, huh?

She was one of the best things about that movie. (The other one was James Cromwell.)
We don’t talk enough about Alfre Woodard’s performance in Star Trek: First Contact. Stunning. And among other things, brought out some of Patrick Stewart’s moments. He rarely had a partner who could meet his energy, but she did. 🖖🏽

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

It seems very reasonable to me that humans would need to process (even gently, say, by heating it briefly) milk from some other, non-human kind of animal in order to drink it safely.
JFC folks drinking raw milk is Russian roulette except only one chamber is empty. You might as well drink wood alcohol. DON'T DO IT.
“Health officials in New Mexico are warning against consuming raw dairy products after a newborn baby in the state died from a listeria infection that they say was likely contracted when the baby's mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
