An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

In 1946, young men in khaki shirts marched through Atlanta performing Nazi salutes and promising racial vengeance. They lasted 10 months. Today’s fascists aren’t as easily banished.

Stop violence against women - at home and online.

The latest @who.int report shows that 1 in 3 women face physical or sexual violence.

Online abuse is rising.

EU-funded research offers hope.

And finally, legendary pool hustler Minnesota Fats passed away Wednesday.

You know, now he's probably up in Heaven, racking them up for a game with Saint Peter.

Or maybe he's in Hell, where demons gnaw at his flesh, and the agonies of the damned never cease.

Either way, he'll be missed!

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

I want to put my fist
through the sun
and bathe my broken flesh
in the entrails.
My tears are pure bile,
my thoughts are tsar bombs.
The pieces of the universe
that are lodged
beneath my fingernails
won't buy me peace

but they'll make me smile
as I skip into Hell.

Fifteen years ago today my wife was in an ICU, our son dead, after an abruption. And that was with incredible nurses, doctors, and medical professionals. Pregnancy can pivot to a life threatening emergency in a heartbeat. This story makes me so sad.
