I still think he was framed. Wandering around immediately afterward with a manifesto and loaded gun after the weapon was disposed is ridiculous and catching him like that is TOO convenient. And if he wasn’t, American health insurance and healthcare kills millions more than his hands may have.

We’re on the cusp of a huge global achievement. Guinea worm, a debilitating neglected tropical disease (NTD) spread through contaminated water, has nearly been eradicated.

Taekwondoin Tina Sugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID— why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica and @publichealthaction.bsky.social. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”

This is unbelievable. His gun was never in his hand. To claim that "video" supports this claim is simply a lie, and millions of people know that. The editors at the Post (if there are such people) are a disgrace to journalism.

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

Study covering 854 European cities finds that officially reported heat deaths remain ‘significantly underestimated’.

More than 100,000 people marched in Hungary’s annual Pride parade in Budapest on Saturday after Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ban on the event backfired, turning what is usually a low-key parade into a mass rally against his government. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/w...

NEW: I emailed the band. “We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi. Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended."
