4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Possession of a firearm is not justification for extrajudicial execution

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

You cannot have heart eyes for the Obama years and not see Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, etc as being a systemic problem. I don't want a return to "less abuse" just like you wouldn't be ok with your spouse agreeing to beating your ass fewer times a month. The whole thing stinks

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

"We don't have to let atrocities define America" but America was built on atrocities. America sustains itself through atrocities. And America is not alone in that. So perhaps, perhaps clinging to the myths and ignoring the realities isn't actually effective in the slightest

If your pastor turns out to be an ICE agent you have to turn that church into a Spirit Halloween immediately

"History will not look kindly upon______"

Damn history ... i don't look kindly upon it... we aint gotta wait

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

Indiana's 16 wins this season are more than they had in the 4 seasons COMBINED (15) before Cignetti took over in 2024.

Indiana had never had DOUBLE DIGIT WINS in a season until last year. They've done it in consecutive seasons and have a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP too

Stating the obvious....everything about this Indiana/Cignetti story is absolutely bonkers. 100+ years of history saying you literally *can't* do what they just did. Amazing.

Indiana hasn't had a coach with an overall winning record since the 1930s. Cignetti is 26-2. Unreal.

Let me tell you all what a down-home Pittsburgh accent Cignetti has…

Indiana is going to win a fucking national title in football.

an earned smile from Curt Cignetti. the Indiana Hoosiers are your college FOOTBALL national champions.

Congratulations to Indiana for doing that dang thing in the only way it should matter and feel good: beating everyone on your schedule, including your bitter rival, instead of, say, losing 13-10 at home

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

FBI opened probe on Minneapolis shooting; none exists now, Justice Dept. says After the death of Renée Good in Minneapolis, FBI agents launched a civil rights probe into the shooting. The Justice Department says no such case now exists.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

Myth: if you're a citizen, you have no reason to worry!

Reality: Black people who've been here since their ancestors were stolen are being asked if they're immigrants

Indigenous people are being asked if they have a right to be here

People with ID are being called liars and dragged away
