A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

I cannot make myself listen to Trump spewing hatred about my neighbors, but just for the record, it's the constitutional right of Americans to complain, and I've never heard a Somali immigrant complain even 1/10th as much as your average old entitled white asshole like the president.

Welp- there is a first and a last for everything. Rented an EV from Turo as Hertz and Avis don’t have EVs in Seattle anymore. “Host” added on an extra 50$ fee after dropping it off. Turo Suport was like did you take pictures- otherwise YOYO.

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
