In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “When the government kills, it has an obligation to demonstrate that it has acted in the public interest," writes the Times editorial board. "Instead, the Trump administration is once again engaged in a perversion of justice."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The sister-brother duo of Astronaut Girl and Starfish Baby are the best helpers a parent could ask for, at least in their minds. So when Mommy gets sick, they know just how to help and—for better or worse—won’t let anything get in their way of making her feel better. #BluePit #PB #POC #BluePit📖 #Q
