As usual, the NYPD opposes any impediment to police shooting.

Again, just in case people lose sight of this amid all the other crap: There is NO EVIDENCE AT ALL of a problem caused by trans inclusive sports policies. Every story you’ve heard isn’t what happened. This is the far right getting its way because of weak media.
This is absolutely monstrous. Child abuse at scale, shrouded in a sanctimonious facade of faux democracy.

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this
President Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall arch. If completed, it will cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost.com's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

Side angle is best view here and directly in line with what first base ump saw. Overhead view is misleading because it’s back behind the plate, not directly above it. No chance that’s a swing.

Rate of gun deaths per 100k population is more than twice as high in the US as in Somalia. Nearly half of the civilian held guns in the world are in the US. The US has more guns than people by a significant margin, a ratio no other country comes close to.
Trump says of Somalia that "all they have is people that shoot you all the time ... it's a shit house country"

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Questions such as "Why aren't all of these fuckers in prison yet?" and "When are we going to put all of DHS in a bin and roll it away down a hill?"

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Call me crazy, but the American Values that included public lynchings as a fun day out for the family are not ones I'd like to restore. Then again, I am also not looking to bring back the other values they treasure, like child brides and restricting the vote to white men.

And Sen. Ossof asked you for your advice, did he?
"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this
