Deshaun Watson reached confidential settlements with at least 26 women who credibly accused him of sexual violence. That’s more women than years I’ve been alive. Praising him like this for ‘overcoming challenges’ is genuinely insane, pro-rape culture behavior.

Go to Boulder for the Mountains. Stay for the Culture.
The film festival’s move to the small mountain city next year will put it on the cultural map. Insiders know it has long been a hub for cool creative types.

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

Talarico has an immigration plan that in its broad strokes is very humane and pro-immigrant. He says our border should be like a "front porch" with a "lock" and a "welcome mat." Both of those are important. The "welcome mat" in his plan deserves more attention. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

DOJ has charged Wilber Garcés with felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, based on the allegation he struck an ICE officer with his sideview mirror when driving off after the initial traffic stop. He was then chased for 8 minutes, rammed, and then shot.
Image 1: the agent is standing in front of the driver’s side mirror, with the mirror at waist height.Image 2: the agent now has has hands on the car as it starts to move. The mirror appears to be very slightly in contact with his waist.Image 3: the agent has pulled his hips back and the mirror is no longer touching the agent.
