been thinking a lot about philando castile today who was also murdered by the state for exercising his constitution right to carry a gun

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

I don't understand how anyone with a soul can see these images and not immediately understand how fucking evil this war is. Every country in the world should be putting maximum pressure on Israel to allow in aid and to broker a ceasefire that permanently ends the war.

BREAKING: ISRAEL BOMBED A KINDERGARTEN IN CENTRAL GAZA A drone strike targeted the yard of a kindergarten near the Municipal Park. Most of the victims were children who were attending class at the time.

I know the 2024 Dem pitch for Gaza was 10% less genocide but Trump’s been in office 6 mo’s, and accelerated the genocide for four, and the two most powerful Dems, Schumer and Jeffries haven’t issued a single criticism of Trump’s Gaza policy. Neither has Harris, Biden or Obama.

Tony Todd (1954–2024)

A striking moment of self-awareness from David Brooks

Welp, that's all folks. The President is immune from prosecution so long as he says he committed crimes as part of his "official" duties. So ends the part of the American experience where our leaders were bound by the rule of law. Thanks for playing.

Jon echoes so many of my thoughts about @McNuttMonica as well. I grew up with so many legendary sports broadcasters as a kid from the Bronx and what I love about her work is that alongside brilliant analysis you feel those tinges of genuine excitement and awe from big moments she calls. It’s like having your most knowledgeable homie breaking down the game with this infectious energy you get from good fandom. It’s so dope. Love this for her.

At home sick and let me tell you, that Jenny Nicholson video has it ALL. Drama, comedy, horror, the ills of capitalism and corporate greed! I watched Dune 2 this weekend as well and this was a better experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for someone who understands pacing!

It genuinely feels embarrassing to enjoy life at one of the most obscene, morally bankrupt, and truly evil moments in history.

There is a massacre taking place in Rafah now. Paramedics are not able to reach the bombed homes and streets.

Congraaaaats to IBAM producer Corey Antonio on this incredible achievement! So well-deserved ✨

Father shows up for his daughter protesting against genocide at USC in Los Angeles 🇵🇸 “I imagine being a father in Palestine.. to see my kid be assassinated by Israel.”

Let me be clear: No human being is illegal.
