A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

I interviewed 83-year editor & sound designer Walter Murch, a legendary figure. The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, Ghost, The Unbearable Lightness of Being...and The English Patient, which turns 30 this year. Info on a free zoom talk included. www.rogerebert.com/interviews/t...

obviously many more important takeaways from the French approach to protest, but much respect to the absolute varsity level Whimsy of throwing a whole ass piano at the cops

I spent an afternoon with Loyd Powell and Robert Conn, who run the Heart of Leather Foundation in Houston. Their dream is to open a museum of LGBTQ history. Until then, they have over 35,000 artifacts sitting in storage, and they let me see them: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Happy 45th Anniversary to the "Controversy" album 💜🕊 🗣I just can't believe all of the things people say..... controversy...

Just remembered the Christopher Columbus bit from the Curtis Sliwa-Adam Friedland podcast, the #1 clip of all time for Not Having Any Idea What Words Are Coming Next

The Omar story today and the Talarcio story yesterday are the same story of rat-fucking your opponents before an election. Except now the government does it, out in the open.

off the fucking rails. a rogue government.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

For almost 2 years now, DHS has repeatedly told me they're not detaining U.S. citizens It's simply not true So @propublica.org published the receipts: a searchable database of the 500+ citizens detained by immigration agents during this Trump administration projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

It's FLYTRAP TUESDAY and we can't wait for y'all to read this brilliant piece by adrie rose on the "loose woman," who "captivates because she straddles the lines of respectable femininity." rose asks: "Is it possible her sexuality is worth taking seriously on its own?"

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

NEW: The Trump administration keeps denying and downplaying that immigration agents have been detaining Americans. It’s wrong. We’ve found more than 500 U.S. citizens have been held against their will, including handcuffed or held at gunpoint.

NEW: For anyone who has been wondering about what happens if election denier TX Attorney General Ken Paxton loses the Senate race www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WE GOT THEM! SNOWY EGRETS IN FRONT OF THE FULL MOON! 🪶

RIP Bruno Kramm, remarkable frontman of Das Ich. Not only was he behind the best music of the circa-1990 Neue Deutsche Todeskunst moment, but he put his money where his mouth was, running for office as official Pirate Party Germany candidate. Nobody quite like him.

Gooooood morning!! It's a nice beautiful breezy morning here in Houston, Texas. Crews are out hanging rainbow banners along Westheimer Rd. in Montrose to replace the LGBTQ+ Pride crosswalk that was removed last October.

🚨BREAKING: The California Supreme Court ruled that Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco (R) violated state law when he seized 650k ballots from last year's redistricting referendum. The ruling marks the end of a battle spurred by Bianco's pursuit of debunked claims of a massive ballot discrepancy.

Ken paxton doesn’t want to debate … because Ken Paxton is barely verbal

This is crazy: Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz SKIPPED a City Council hearing yesterday that was called specifically FOR HIM TO ANSWER QUESTIONS about how the police department works with ICE www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

City attorneys instructed the lone HPD representative NOT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

in heaven she will finally get the respect she deserves

Fun fact: So convinced were white officials in 1963 that the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on the national mall would bring lawless and violent hordes of Black people that they imposed an emergency ban on alcohol sales in all of DC and neighboring Montgomery and PG counties.
