This has been brought to our attention. From “Batman The Animated Series”, He supposedly threw for 400 yards throwing like this…

Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

500 years ago today, a pandemic, a divisive election and white-on-white violence sparked one of America’s greatest traditions A thread.

I read Long Walk to Freedom. They were GETTING IT IN.

I’m so very sad to hear about the passing of the wonderfully mustachioed character actor Richard Riehle. He was a delightful guy and I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing him twice, but we were also Facebook friends and traded many messages and comments over the years.

SKATE OR DIE

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

It’s been long enough that I can talk about this vaguely. A family friend refused cancer treatment. He didn’t want medical costs to drain his retirement. He was obsessed with taking care of his wife and two kids. He died less than 6 months after telling us that. Few things radicalized me more.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

MS. RACHEL: “How can this cruelty continue? Why isn’t this covered in mainstream news?” There is no cease fire

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Even before A.I, Black students were often accused of not writing essays and reports. How could THIS kid possibly write that well. Imagine what it's going to be like now.

I need $285 to get my phone turned back on, so a client would be really helpful right now!

🎵 one is a genius, the other’s insane 🎵

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.

“They’re kids! They’re kids!” Monstrous. Abolish ICE.

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

It is impossible to think of Margaret Hamilton without thinking of her iconic photo standing next to a stack of papers, as tall as her – the entire Apollo guidance software. www.iflscience.com/margaret-ham...

I think we know what this means

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

Researchers uncovered the graves of more than 1,000 children next to juvenile detention facilities in 29 states. At one Maryland gravesite, 230 Black boys are buried. n.pr/4zauALa

8/ Amanda Trebach, a nurse and member of an immigrant advocacy group, was detained in California while filming and protesting immigration enforcement operations. Trebach says she was held for almost 36 hours without access to a phone call or a lawyer.

Thousands of students protested the Cornell 7 on campus today. ✊🏼 Here they are participating in "The Rapist Is You" or "El Violador Eres Tú:" a 2019 Chilean feminist performance piece created to draw attention to violence against women. ❤️‍🩹

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.

I went to the grand reopening of the African American Civil War museum this week and the timing is just right — its mission to preserve Black history is more relevant now than ever

NEW AD: Are you a data center company looking to take over rural Texas? Are you a crime-loving millionaire looking to throw the FBI off your scent? Are you a child predator looking to get out of jail after just 1 day? Call 844-WHOS-KEN to hear what Ken Paxton can do for you!

SCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November @washingtonsun.com www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/ab...

Futurama 🚀✨

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

An investigation reveals 3 other cases in which Ken Paxton covertly interfered with criminal investigations and prosecutions to protect Republican men who were facing sexual abuse or rape charges or order to get charges dropped or downgraded. It's not just Hoffman in Waco, but a consistent pattern.

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."
