If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

City governments are going to have to be both creative and bold when it comes to resisting ICE and the most obvious place to start here is pulling all, all, all NYPD cooperation, even incidental, with ICE. Let them do their own crowd control and traffic management.
I am angry tonight.

Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.

ICE makes this city less safe.

We want them out. Now.

tremors and jaws are both great movies, and Jaws probably succeeds more as a work of horror. but Tremors is actually perfect. an almost unique example of a film executed flawlessly in line with its vision.
I've said it before and I'll post it again: we should embrace and deify TREMORS as much as we do JAWS.

I'm at the Ryman Auditorium tonight, where the Indigo Girls played their anti-death penalty anthem "Faye Tucker" while not knowing that the state of Tennessee was simultaneously botching another execution.
“A lawyer for Christa Pike said executioners have administered two syringes of lethal injection drugs to Pike but that she remains alive and breathing.”

It’s been over an hour.
They made her wait all day to kill her, and now they’re torturing her.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no
two doses of lethal drugs and still alive. heartbreaking and barbaric

If you need to catch up on the whole controversy with GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt not knowing his sports and embarrassing himself while attempting to slander a public servant today, I made a 20 min. video explainer. Yes, 20 minutes. And I enjoyed the hell out of making it.

I wouldn’t stop suing until my name was on every building the school has and every trustee had to write me a personal check.
"Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her."

the cornell case has me thinking about christine blasey ford and how she so bravely testified in 2018 about how future supreme court justice brett kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.
NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports.

“That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

There are as many frat boys at Cornell accused of rape as there are trans women playing competitive sports in the NCAA.
The problem is men and rape culture. Always has been.

A sentence like this appears in every one of these articles: "Sure I object to everything Trump has ever done, but on the other hand I also disagree with some things about Democrats I made up."

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's
Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

because the ny times wants to kneecap AOC the way they did hillary clinton.

they don't do this for any other politician but her. and we must pound them into the dust for this.
Why does the Times quote her “like” and “um”s when they don’t for others and it’s against normal editorial ethics?

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
He spent 11 months inside DOGE. Now he wants to set the record straight.
In his first major interview about his tell-all memoir, Tyler Hassen describes the culture clash surrounding DOGE’s mission and the backlash that followed.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

Ron White to Joe Rogan: Talarico didn't cost this state $6 million in fines and lawsuits, and that happened with Ken Paxton. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He's a criminal. He's a piece of shit.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.

His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 

I sued them for wrongful termination and won.

So yes, I know that motherfucker. 
Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?
