Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

Anyone in Northern Maine who can help?
My cat is very sick :( She lives with my mom as they got very attached during my mom’s sickness and recovery. They now live up in northern Maine and it’s so frustrating because it’s a vet desert. No existing vets are taking new patients and closest emergency is 3hrs away.

@theguardian.com maybe don't have this distressing image as the lead photo before telling us that we may find some of the images distressing?

This is the best thing ever!
This is Cole. He is a deaf service dog at Dr. William Mennies Elementary School. He just turned 9, and all of his students learned sign language to sing him happy birthday at a massive party. 14/10 for all (IG: colethedeafdog)

@loisbeckett.bsky.social I don't understand why @theguardian.com is giving SeaWorld any coverage. Seems really tone deaf.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

In other words, all the other attacks on innocent men, women and children have been deliberate.

@justicegap.bsky.social just watched Murder in the Valleys, which was excellent but leaves us with more questions than answers. There is surely reasonable doubt about Morris's guilt. And not enough info on the sock DNA evidence.

"The BBC should hang their heads in shame" for not airing the 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' film, said Gary Lineker at a screening in London tonight.

Luckily, Zeteo bought the global rights to this hugely important documentary and is airing it here:

Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E
