Alarming — 🇺🇸 Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social denied access to military facilities in the Middle East: “Unprecedented. Hegseth is trying to cover up the extent of the damage from a war spiraling out of control. This should be unacceptable to everybody, Republican or Democrat.”

Spotted alone by our SWT/KWS Canine Unit during a training exercise, the tiny calf was tracked for hours in the hope he would find his family. But no other elephants appeared. A year on, shy little Daba has blossomed into a confident, calm and increasingly mischievous young elephant.

Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

Police violently drag Hispanic grandmother across rough ground-injuring both arms. Witnesses yell she has a serious heart condition & was just released from hospital. Cops kneel on her chest anyway. "They dragged her like a doll," brother said. Incident occurred in Batesville, Texas

There's news of a plague outbreak in Russia. Here's what we know and here's who in the White House is staffed to handle any U.S. related work on it (hint: it's RFK Jr. and a gutted CDC...) Russia is trying to cover up the media reports on the outbreak, which now has 200 people in quarantine.

3/ 100+ Americans have been held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. They say they were profiled — detained because of their skin color, accents or jobs. “ICE isn’t looking for criminals. They’re looking for Latinos,” one said.

2/ Federal agents have detained at least 70 children and teens who are American citizens. Some were handcuffed or zip-tied. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

On October 1, 1970, Janis Joplin walked into Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles and recorded “Mercedes Benz,” an a cappella performance that would become the final studio recording of her life. 🕯️💖🕊️ 🌹
Written by Joplin with poet Michael McClure and Bob Neuwirth, the song was recorded in a single take, with Janis singing completely unaccompanied. Its humor and irony made it unlike almost anything else she had recorded.
Just three days later, on October 4, Joplin died at the age of 27 while still working on what would become Pearl.
“Mercedes Benz” was eventually included on the posthumously released album, leaving one of rock’s most unmistakable voices completely alone for one remarkable final studio performance.
