I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

After MCPS stopped funding college tuition for 289 students, 102 have dropped their classes, raising concerns about the future of dual enrollment programs.

Thou shalt not kill people on live stream. THOU SHALT NOT KILL!!! HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?!

Chills.

"You were riding in the morning, or at night, or on a quiet road, or a main road. The only time and place to ride a bike is a time beyond time and a place beyond place, where the space-time continuum is bent so strangely that you are both everywhere and nowhere." buff.ly/bSa1Wm5

Thank you @rebekahwriter.bsky.social for posting about the search for the driver in this fatal pedestrian collision. Hanna Wegayehou’s family deserves answers and justice.

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

I hope the court says “hell no” to the extension and fines them for every minute they exceeded the court-ordered time. I better see letters down before I go to bed.

Do the three guys up there even have the tools to remove the letters or are they gonna build more scaffolds after taking a break?

It’s me. I am up at 11:25 pm watching a scaffold be constructed to take down letters.

MCCPTA has been advocating for later start time for high schools for years. Maybe instead of unproven program disruptions, we should start with science to address achievement?

www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/a... The NY Times on the Jeff Krulik and John Heyn 1986 filmed Heavy Metal Parking Lot about Judas Priest & Dokken fans partying before the concert at the Capital Centre outside DC in Md. The short video slowly went viral in the music & film world in a pre-internet age

We've passed #StopSuperSpeeders bills in: ✅ Washington state ✅ Washington DC ✅ Virginia Very exciting news that #Maryland, just awaiting @iamwesmoore's signature, is poised to be next on the list! We hope he will honor our members and so who've been injured or killed.

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

I just saw the GoFundMe and CaringBridge for the other driver in this crash, who is in a coma and faces a long road ahead. There has to be a legislative/policy solution to drivers who are not stopped by being suspended or having an ignition interlock.

Well, there’s a reason I never trusted “Boy Scouts of America,” even after they pretended to become more inclusive. So much for Scout’s Honor. They lied. For shame, @scoutingamerica.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is sickening and the ICE/CBP staff who are torturing these detainees need to be prosecuted.

Gotta love how my phone lights up with texts after public testimony. I love that I have so many friends who care about our local politics & budgets. Also, I was glad to express my gratitude to our essential @seiu.org MCPS support staff for their snowstorm work & that seemed to resonate.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I’m so tired.

ICE protester says her Global Entry was revoked after agent scanned her face

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

I wish there were fewer news reports saying cops were not charging a driver who killed or seriously injured a pedestrian, and more articles that independently analyzed what actually happened and whether cops have let a dangerous driver keep driving.

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

Kavanaugh stop results in kidnapping and assault of US citizen baby. It’s not enough to orphan kids, let’s injure them physically, too?

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

If officials can’t bring themselves to arrest someone who is captured on camera from multiple angles killing someone in cold blood, they should just step aside so someone with a backbone can lead

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.
