There's a dark hilarity to them citing the fact that the Brown shooter was Portuguese, because Rhode Island has the largest Portuguese population in the country per-capita.

Dude was Portuguese? Throw a fuckin' rock. You'll hit at least two Soares, a Ferreira, and a Medeiros.
meanwhile, the Twitterati are calling for a ban on all travel from Europe

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

Oh by the way also Trump lost one in the House today - 20 Republicans voted with the Dems to pass a bill to restore federal worker union rights Trump tried to remove with an exec order. Came to the House floor via a discharge petition.
Trump did a lot of losing today.

Pope Leo XIV just went viral belting out “L.O.V.E” with Michael Bublé at the Vatican’s Concert with the Poor, a Christmas event where the front rows are filled with homeless and low-income guests.

Michael Bublé called it “the greatest night” of his career.

1 TON has ~907K grams. ~1 gram of cocaine can be fatal.

Over 20 yrs, former Honduran Pres Juan Orlando Hernández brought over 500 TONS of cocaine to the U.S. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Trump has pardoned & released him from prison.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Literally just lectured about this!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.
Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

I know this isn't getting as much attention as the other races, but so glad that Colorado voted in favor of Prop MM, which increases state income taxes on people earning more than 300K to help give breakfast and lunch to certain public school students, with additional funds going to SNAP.
