Cops followed EJ Carrion home and arrested him in his drive way one week after he said 'bullshit' at a county meeting in Texas. Here is that body cam footage. @mjgault.bsky.social reports: www.404media.co/watch-body-c...

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is a reminder that most of the bench has never seen the inside of a trial court or a public defender’s office. She’s schooling folks how this actually works.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

A deadly bacterial disease is returning, doctors warn, as vaccination rates fall
Hib once killed 1,000 children a year, permanently disabling many more. Doctors who've never seen the disease say the comeback is changing the way they practice medicine.

CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers? "It's not going to be a yes or no answer" CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.

I’m a psychiatrist!!! Honestly, there’s not much to him: he told us what he was going to do and he’s doing it. I’m far more concerned about the millions of Americans who are mired in the cognitive dissonance of electing someone they know is harmful to us all.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I haven’t seen the clip yet but being lucky enough to work with folks with Tourette’s, there are some behavioral interventions that could be helpful. Say…he donates 70% of his total wealth right now to a Civil Rights group? Living off 30% could be very compelling to use his CBIT.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.
A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does? White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

With all restrictive politics flying around lately, it made me wonder…when will we tighten up truth-in-advertising laws? Arlington Cowboys? Arlington Rangers? Soon-to-be Plano Stars? If the SAVE Act can be used to “ensure the truth”, surly we do the same with billionaires…right?

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔
