what a shot

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on.

you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred

I want the Truth and Consequences commission to be so memorable people assume they named the town in New Mexico after it fellowtravelersblog.com/2018/03/13/a...

Matthew 25 is what got him. Then: "I dont want to believe in hell. I dont want to believe youre going there. But this is what Jesus says. You can walk away. You can choose justice. You can use your skills and training for good. You can be a protector. But right now you're not."

A "subject profile" of Öztürk that was prepared "for/in collaboration with HSI Office of Intelligence" cites her profile on the Israeli-based website Canary Mission on the third page. It also includes her op-ed.

I’m becoming socially conservative in that I’m becoming a real tightass about civic virtue & honor. Fuck your boyfriend & his husband wearing dogsuits in private if you want, I don’t care at all, but I’m becoming pretty humorless about people feeling they have no obligation to any civic project

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

Renee Nicole Good should still be alive. Today we gathered under the Embrace statue in Boston Common to remember her life and envision a future free from the horrific acts of this administration. No more violence. No more murder. ICE out of our cities now.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

mine eyes? seeing the glory. the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored? trampled. the faithful lighting of his terrible swift sword? buddy, you better believe that's loosed.

In the 1950s, National Geographic wanted Kodachrome nature photography that really popped in print. One trick was to put foreground subjects (hikers, etc.) in bright colors; it was called the "red shirt school". Dick Lasher's Pinto makes this the greatest red shirt school photo of all time.

Thank you @atherton.bsky.social for blessing my FYP with this.

One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

what’s the pope’s calumet fisheries order

this all makes sense if you assume it is a disguised narrative of what entering into right wing social media landscape is like: 1. Ridiculous propaganda that lowers your self esteem 2. Hopped up on dubious "supplements" 3. Told you aren't a man repeatedly

🎵 This is my home, the country where my heart is / Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine / But other hearts in other lands are beating / With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine. 🎵

cool we have 4 options now 1) the next FDR is a class traitor governor (Pritzker) 2) the next FDR is an outspoken politician known by their initials (AOC) 3) the next FDR is the VP of a failed presidential ticket (Walz) 4) the next FDR is an outspoken politician with a dutch last name (Van Hollen)

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

i hate tariff but i love ta riff

For those that have been following me for sometime you know I've spent YEARS watching a local great blue heron hunt gophers and fail. Tonight, during mating season, two where hunting together. And they fucking got one. Until a red tailed hawk came and snapped it for themselves! 😦🪶

Pawpaw Gang now is our time

How much for groceries?

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

an impressive number of people have tried to use the computer to get out of the basic existential situation of being human over the last fifteen or twenty years and it keeps getting wilder to watch

I’m learning so much in this bar bathroom

Spontaneously said "hell yeah dude" out loud watching this.

PUT THE WOKE BACK NOW!!!!

When you see these dudes playing at the farmer's market, you just KNOW the jigs and reels are gonna be off the charts

Had a productive and emotional therapy session about my sense of failure for still having never really made something of my own and then got off the call and proceeded to make a list of menu items I would serve at a Talking Heads themed fast casual salad concept
