There is no constitutional right of law enforcement to detain me, throw me to the ground, and then put five bullets in my back while masked and unidentified. There is a right to vote.

Minnesota needs impartial investigations into the shootings of American citizens on our streets. Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand. The families of the deceased deserve better. www.keyc.com/2026/02/16/f...

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia. Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

Dear journalists using A.I.: You do realize that those programs are a two-way mirror, right? Like, you get that you're just handing over confidential, proprietary, often-sensitive information about your sources to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, right? You get that what you're doing is terrible, right
