NEW: A cop who chased, shot, and killed a young father in 2021—and then started training new recruits after avoiding firing—is accused of violating CPD policies over an unreported vehicle chase last year.
One of the car's passengers was killed, and Evan Solano is still on duty in the 16th District:

FUCK BILL MAHER
It's a good thing to be critical of elected leaders.
Not just good; it's necessary.
Democracy does not defend itself.
The Manhattan DA is a Democrat. Instead of ignoring an serious criminal allegation against a fellow Democrat, he's investigating it. This is how it's supposed to work.
Is it any wonder?
I have always been a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age, same height, share the same values, but she can sing better. And she has more Grammys. I've always wanted to meet her!
This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets
This is what leadership looks like.
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America.
Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
NATO NATO NATO!!!
HEY, YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THIS REGIME IS COMPLETELY DERANGED
Dear NATO,
Please let us visit on weekends and summer vacations.
Love, the children caught in the middle of the divorce.
Yours forever, The Kids.
Hey, NATO!
Look, I know you're pretty busy right now, but you might want to start doing some planning seshes about this whole rogue Christofascist Cracker experiment.
Love, Ominous Rabbit, First of Her Name.
one of the big problems with people calling for the 25th amendment is that it seems entirely disconnected from *who would have to take steps to implement the 25th*.
like, nobody says, "J.D. Vance and Hegseth must implement the 25th amendment" bec everyone knows that sounds ridiculous.
no, Whitehouse is right and he's right to explain this to people.
it's important to demand change, but demanding stuff that is ineffective is ineffective!
Heard this today and may want to spread the word about this organization who works specifically on getting military members through the process of conscientious objection, and not going it alone.
We need more American leaders to speak with this moral clarity, not violent and dangerous threats.
Just thought the exact same thing. Posts that apology and didn’t even mention Dawn Staley’s name on top of all that. 🤦♂️
Last year Kanye West took out a Super Bowl ad to sell swastika t-shirts.
This weekend he sold out two shows at SoFi Stadium.
To all of those in attendance—what the fuck is wrong you.
That’s a rhetorical question.
"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"
These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.
Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

POTUS Proposes Elimination of Federal Library Funding. The President again requested that Congress eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. We've seen this before, and we're not going away. Fund Libraries, ALA 150, American Library Association.
!["We are not surprised that the White House FY27 budget zeroes out funding for IMLS and IAL. The president’s intentions for IMLS were clear last year with the executive order to dismantle IMLS and cut off its funding [...] ALA members have a solid track record of defeating the president’s threats, but we do not underestimate the lengths to which he will go to undercut support for America’s libraries. ALA is working to make sure decisionmakers continue to hear from library advocates.” - ALA President Sam Helmick](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q5qyswhppr7tiskw43xhcv7f/bafkreickyturajq3zv6n65qgp3wg2mexkm3x4lduf5a5armtx3tv5edrky)

NEW: The President once again called to eliminate federal library funding in his federal budget proposal. We have been here before. And when we make our voices heard, we can overcome this again.

“Sure all those people would still be alive, but have you considered how I would have felt bad about myself for filling the little bubble on the private ballot next to the person who I find imperfect”
Job description: applicants must confuse the center of the Overton Window with impartiality and fact-based reporting.
The Trump admin's new EO would also require DHS to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. Such a list is likely to remove eligible voters and perpetuate a false narrative about the security of our elections.

I think we're frozen in place because of HIM, in some way. Because we can't react to him correctly. There's a normal chain of cause and effect that's supposed to take place when someone does all the bad things he's done and it keeps not happening and it's breaking everything else in the world
Here is a video demonstrating how truly awful the encryption implementation is in TeleGuard, a 'secure' messaging app with more than 1 million downloads. App uploads users private keys to company server; this shows the company is able to decrypt messages. Details: www.404media.co/a-secure-cha...
