Even this description does a disservice to how gross this was. This shit kid, Farritor, overrode Rubio and personally destroyed lots of USAID when he was ordered not to. And Elon was utterly confused about what the agency even was, the Bond villain narratives in the replies are too generous.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Watch this to the end.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

Here's the one thing that I wish everyone knew about "raids" in one post: We may be heading into a future in which ICE randomly sweeps immigrant neighborhoods & pulls people out of their homes. But they've never done that before, & they will need a massive new commitment of resources to do it now

Sometime in the 80s at a video rental store and noticed two barely teenage boys waffling over what horror movie to choose. I leaned over and said conspiratorially, “You guys want to see something *really* scary?” Their faces lit up: “Yeah!” I pulled ERASERHEAD off the shelf and put in their hands.
