Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

St. Paul solved more crimes, had drastically fewer homicides in 2025
A remarkable shift is under way in St. Paul. The city is on track for a 70 percent drop in homicides by the end of 2025. And they’re solving more than 70 percent of crimes.

At the end of the day, if the “concern” you have about your country or neighbourhood is that there are too many Black or Brown people living there, then that is racism. Yearning to make the place you live more white is, in fact, white supremacy. Just saying.

It's hard to overestimate how much unnecessary pain and death in children is going to be caused by the Trump administration telling everyone Tylenol causes autism. Kids are going to suffer. There's not even a joke here.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Thank you @jeremyfaust.bsky.social Demetre, Dan, and I ("D3") using our voices to raise the alarm for public health
Dr. Deb Houry (resigned from CDC yesterday) is giving live media interviews now outside the CDC. From what I can hear, she's speaking forcefully in favor of public health and against the nonsense the CDC is facing.
Understand: She is a very cautious person.
This means a lot!
