Who is Pizzaballa and where can I follow them?
William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:
i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people
Epistemic Heteronomy in action, baby!
"Senators have already left town for a two-week recess, and House lawmakers were set to join them."
So, the airport crisis will get worse because House Republicans want ICE to have even more money despite the fact they already have the money to pay their employees.
OK, so Homan admits that ICE is not at US airports to assist TSA in security screening. Nothing connected to the shutdown.
While he does not admit that their role is to terrorize Americans and body-slam anyone who is no "white enough," that pretty much the only other excuse for their presence.
One thing about synthetic imagery of all types—photo compositing, fax, cgi—is that it gets more obvious over time as the artifacts which characterize it tend to pop out for people more. Makes sense this would have an age curve but it’s more about relative familiarity I think.
CBS bought Bari's dumb website for $150 million, which was at least $149 million more than it was worth, and she has the fucking gall to lecture these people about how these are tough times in the industry.
I hate the modern impulse of how CEOs frame layoffs as a sign of growth EVEN IN THE MEMO TO EMPLOYEES.
It’s like the memo is for the news cycle, not for the people. Corporate “mugging for the camera”.

Well a good start is recognizing that just about every victory he’s touting in the graphic is fake

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
This is the man that TERFs celebrate as the biggest protector of women's sports
There is an entire world of men in which the only difference between being an incel and not is coercive power, which explains so much about what’s wrong with them.
Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm.
I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship.
Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.
I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
This statement reminds me of the Sandy Hook parents still being tortured by freaks who claim their children never existed
The right claims to be pro-family but are actively making parenthood harder for most people and a nightmare for some
Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position
According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
Millions of Americans watched a middle-aged US citizen get shot in the face and killed by an ICE officer today. That's a level of national trauma that deserves a more respectful response from this administration than falsely claiming she's a domestic terrorist. We have lost our moral compass.
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.
ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.
The Trump administration is lying.
A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:
I discussed this with @katiephang.bsky.social who posited that Pam Bondi might be "interpreting" the law to mean she has 15 days after all the files are released to provide her explanation for what she withheld and redacted pursuant to the law.
A significant reason we are where we are is that journalism’s job used to be to ferret out the ugly, blunt truth behind political veneer, and now that Trump just SAYS it, the press spend their time applying the veneer instead.
It makes absolutely no sense to speak of any necessity for the United States to take over Greenland. The United States has no legal basis to annex one of the three countries of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom of Denmark - and thus Greenland — is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance's collective security guarantee. We already have a defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States that grants the U.S. broad access to Greenland. In addition, the Kingdom has made significant investments in security in the Arctic.

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States:
“The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”
