Goo morning, monsters. Roar. Asking changed nothing. Pleading was even worse. So roar, roar until their eardrums ring and they can hear nothing else.

I've been thinking lately about the countless activists during the Civil Rights era who fought for the Voting Rights Act — including my friend Mickey. He was my protector. I want to share a little bit more about what he meant to me.

Daniel (15) is on the school bowling team but he's the only one who doesn't have his own ball. He often has to rent one which embarrasses him. Daniel is one of the few Latino bowlers in the district and believes he bowls for a purpose greater than himself. Can Alice pay for a new ball?" YES!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

TONIGHT in Philly, we're getting together to make art centered around activism (environmental or whatever's important to you) This event is FREE! I'll have everything you need! I'll even give ya free beer & cheese (thanks to cheese sponsor Perrystead Dairy)! You just need to RSVP luma.com/w8v2xk5i
A possum screams "Make the world better with art!" in a little beret with bags under his eyes, holding a paint pallet. The title says Bad art for good an art & community event. The possum is painting an easel that says "Leave your leaves to help species", with a scrawled possum giving "ta da!" hands popping out of a pile of leaves.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive. We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.

You can spend time arguing over the difference between shutting down FEMA & rebranding it but the reality is that the Trump admin has already dismantled FEMA to the point that it could not efficiently respond to a relatively small disaster in a state with a relatively large capacity EM system.

This is such a critical point that can be tough to make without seeming to minimize the current disaster. This event had a very high death toll for a U.S. disaster and the impacts are severe but in terms of total number of people directly affected and the geographic scope, it’s on the smaller size.

Screenshot of an article from the handbasket titled: have you seen this man? Screenshot of an article that reads: “It is unprecedented for the leader of FEMA to be absent from the public response to a disaster that has killed over 100 Americans,” Dr. Samantha Montano, Associate Professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, told The Handbasket on Wednesday. “Richardson should be on the ground in the impacted areas meeting with local, state, and nonprofit stakeholders. He should be holding press conferences and providing interviews for national outlets. He should be monitoring FEMA’s resources and the broader federal response to ensure it is moving effectively and efficiently.”

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

the thing we should find abhorrent and vile is not that "innocent people" are being sent to concentration camps. This happens all the time; look at how many innocent people are in prison. The abhorrent thing, the vile thing, what we should all be clamoring to burn down, are the camps themselves.

Evergreen.
The On the Media "Breaking News Consumer's Handbook":

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
 “We are getting reports”… could mean anything.
“We are seeking confirmation”… means they don’t have it.
“[News outlet] has learned”… means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...
10:30am:

"Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

10:49am:


law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
