just learning about the Leviathan waking up off the coast of Virginia. perhaps this is what the Commonwealth deserves

Strong statement from the Pipefitters' union on the killing of Alex Pretti: 'This state-sponsored murder has no place in our society.'

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

In response to the 2000 resolution by Virginia, Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura stated "Why? I mean, we won," and that "We took it, that makes it our heritage." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

The New World asked me to speak to some British trans women about what life has been like for them over the past few years - here's what they had to say, in their own words: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

just found out there’s an American version of Dpc Martin, set in Maine, starring some guy from The Good Wife. Incredible news for my mom

What does he know

Bo Nix is a Labrador’s name

This is a bullshit blueanon account. That is not what the call-up was announced as. Walz is not sending the NG to fight DHS. He is not starting a Civil War. It is a normal call-up for public safety and crowd control. Stop listening to dipshit random accounts.

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

This didn't get coverage in regular media, but this week Christian Zionists held an invite-only gathering at Mar-a-Lago, and Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the former Shah of Iran, spoke to them cbn.com/news/israel/...

well, that’s damning lol

however I did not say "Jon Chait never called Trump a dangerous authoritarian." I was referring to your arguments that Trump is not a fascist, that Jan 6 was not a real insurrection, that the Stormy Daniels prosecution was bad, and that Colorado should not have kicked him off the ballot

I can only speak for myself but early exposure to right-wing beliefs about gender and fertility definitely made me wary of motherhood. I feel quite a bit of grief about that

There’s something exceptionally wicked about Steve Cohen working to dynamite health care for those of us who served alongside his own son but don’t have billionaire fathers. Dire reporting here, with legislation imminent:

BILLS UPDATE

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

Jesus. Need to be careful about sharing photos, but these were taken by Chris Juhn, a photojournalist in Minneapolis. You can find them on his FB page below. The officer is firing a pepperball. www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

The victim of today's ICE shooting in Minneapolis has been identified by her mother as Renee Nicole Good, 37. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

the administration is lying about every detail of today’s killing and we know that partly because of the video evidence. if the footage feels traumatizing to see, sorry, but that’s reality, and you don’t get to opt out because it makes you feel bad

There is a full-fledged attack on women's reproductive - and thus their overall LIFE - autonomy. It's dressed up as "promoting health" and in the guise of "expanding options," but the intent is clear given Heritage's "Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family."

Much has been made about a purported "revival" of Christianity led by Gen Z and Millennial Americans. There is no basis for it.

A devastating story about the life and death of Lia Smith, a transgender woman and college student targeted by conservatives online because she briefly participated on the school's diving team. Lia was found dead by suicide last fall at the age of 21. (Unlocked article below)

a particularly deranging moment if you spent most of the 2000s annoying your teachers by turning in a bunch of assignments comparing Bush to Hitler

Jeremiah Wright vindicated again

I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you believe that either Lyman Stone (fringe-ass Lutheran) or JD Vance (fringe-ass Catholic) are primarily motivated by Defense of Innocent Unborn Life etc etc etc and not gutter-level racism and xenophobia

Stone is a senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies and director of its "Pronatalism Initiative," and he regularly gets quoted as an authoritative source by commentators across the political spectrum despite this kind of gutter racism and other undisguised bigotries. I find that baffling.

sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

it’s rent day. Mayor Mamdani do something

what a year. published a book, found out I had uncontrolled diabetes, basically didn’t leave my apartment for months, but

thank you, PR person, for informing me of your move to the Tennis Channel. I don’t know who you are, and I’m on medical leave, but enjoy the tennis

In 2021, Bari Weiss famously published a resignation letter by former Smith College librarian Jodi Shaw. Shortly after, I asked Smith if Weiss had reached out for comment first. “She did not,” spokesperson Stacey Schmeidel said via email. Weiss’ agents declined my requests for comment.

beginning to think Kevin Roberts does not actually know what time it is

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

lol
