if I were married to the guy who's big policy idea was "render innocent people to third world torture prisons with no due process" I would be extremely careful about invoking the ideas of fairness or justice in making the case for how you should be treated!

But don't try to give someone a bottle of water while they stand in line in the heat to vote or offer them a ride to the polls. That's bribery..

Minneapolis shooting today, details still coming but it sounds like another guy with a gun shot and killed people because he was angry and couldn't find a better way to deal with it Still waiting on those mental health resources that are supposed to help reduce gun deaths, I guess

Sometimes I really feel the weight of a culture in which 30-40% of people don't accept facts or common knowledge. The rest of us end trying to prove, again and again, ideas that are obvious, only to find that proof doesn't matter. They will believe lies and fantasies no matter what we show them.

Between December, 2025, and February, 2026, more than 3,000 federal immigration agents were deployed in Minneapolis—detaining nearly 4,000 immigrants, and killing two U.S. citizens. Emily Witt reports on the aftermath of Operation Metro Surge. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/e81B54

Fauci hearing underlines how much was broken (especially brains) during 2020 and COVID. We're still dealing with the inflation and the mistrust of science and public health. Maybe everything has to be partisan now, but it's nuts how many people still want to "take sides" on a global pandemic.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Minneapolis police rarely responded to immigration-related emergency calls during Operation Metro Surge, even as the department spent $10 million on overtime and standby pay preparing for unrest that largely never materialized.

Minneapolis police rarely responded to ICE calls but still spent millions on overtime
The MPD prioritized preventing large-scale civil unrest over responding to calls from residents concerned about unlawful force by ICE, and racked up huge OT costs doing it.

UN backs historic climate crisis ruling, despite US attempts to stop resolution
The US, Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia – some of the highest oil-producing nations and major greenhouse gas emitters – opposed the measure The UN has voted 141-8 to adopt a resolution backing a world court opinion that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change, with the US – which is the world’s biggest historical emitter – among the small group opposing it. The UN secretary general, António Guterres, said Wednesday’s general assembly vote, in which 28 countries abstained, underscored that governments are responsible for protecting citizens from the “escalating climate crisis”.
