Last night, country music star Zach Bryan performed at Gillette Stadium wearing a Free Palestine shirt, with drummer Nate Head and guitarist Noah Le Gros with Hind Rajab and Palestine jerseys.
Brilliant solidarity following Robert Kraft's banning of Macklemore at the same stadium.

Jane Doe, you are remarkably brave. I wish you didn’t have to be.
“I am Jane Doe.” Do not let them doxx Jane Doe. If you see their name, you did not. Do not punish the victim.
I stand with survivors. You will not take away their power. We believe you.

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

Like science, evidence should be validated - otherwise, it’s junk
this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life
(Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged)

I guess the point is that Roger Marshall wants to keep this story in the news cycle as long as possible. Nice work.

It’s almost as if there are more ways to measure the value of work than just the amount of money it makes people.
A country with fewer social workers and teaching aides, with less study of the arts and history, is a country that’s not investing in its own future.

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Trump started “renovating” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in April. After spending $19.2 million of taxpayers’ money, it appears he’s abandoned it.
