After 137 days of largely peaceful protests with little progress, frustration in #Albania has erupted into violent demonstrations. Students joined the fight clashing with police. Protesters are demanding better opportunities, an end to corruption. Clearly they fucked with the wrong Generation.

This year alone, New Yorkers have reported more than 188,000 incidents of domestic violence. That's 780 incidents every day. Countless others go unreported. If you or someone you love needs help, call 1-800-621-HOPE or visit on.nyc.gov/hotlinechat.

At 16, Corion Evans jumped into the Pascagoula River after a car carrying three teenage girls plunged into the water. He rescued all three, then swam back out to save a police officer who was also struggling. In one night, he helped save four lives.

Ludicrous framing here from @nytimes.com. No serious Dems ever thought these would be slam dunks. And it's premature to let a centrist group get in a self-interested shot like this before we even know if these candidates will actually fare worse in the elections than other ones. Indefensible.
