This weekend:
•A mass shooter killed 2 at Brown University
•2 mass shooters killed 16 Jewish people at Bondi Beach
•Netanyahu killed 5 more Palestinians in Gaza, totaling 379 killed since “ceasefire”

There are forces working hard to get us to hate each other. It is very important we reject hate

ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning. No accountability. Just armored agents treating Tucson like a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do to everyone else. Sick MFers.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Hegseth’s foolish threat to investigate Sen. Mark Kelly for urging military to refuse illegal orders is more sickening in light of his illegal order to “kill everyone” after two wounded men survived his first military strike. Hegseth must be held accountable.

This is both fascinating and terrifying.
1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.

And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Here’s what. @starbucks on Division on State street in Chicago used to be a great coffee place. Now it is pick-up only. Useless.
Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.

No contract? NO COFFEE!

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.
