Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

This is a gross abuse of power & the latest in a decade-long, racist smear campaign against a duly elected Black Congresswoman. Trump is a coward who is weaponizing his DOJ to fuel hate & intimidate opponents with baseless attacks like these, just like with Rep. McIver, Lisa Cook & Tish James.

John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Can I sue the Brewers for malpractice for ruining what would have been a really strong Strat-o-matic card for Kyle Harrison? He's clearly broken. Stop pitching him, ffs.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

If Trump does a NY Knicks NBA Finals move, and shuts down Oslo so he can sleep at the kings funeral, the Norwegian people will be furious. We don’t want him here. He is not welcome. He is a threat to our allies. He is an ally to our adversaries. The king wouldn’t want him there.
