I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

wild to see a Western president say this after listening to scholars say this for over a decade lol
Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!
We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

If we are going to talk about legendary wrestlers of the 1980s who are no longer with us, I’d much rather talk about Roddy Piper.
An iconic character and larger than life presence, Roddy was a good man, too.
He also courageously went public about Pat Patterson being a sexual predator. (1/3) 🧵🤼

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.
It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.
She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.
Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

We tend to assume boredom is something to be avoided, but in centuries past you would go wandering through the woods or stare at the walls of a cave for an hour and accidentally invent beer or a new religion or write Alice in Wonderland.
