I literally said to Portia this morning, there's gonna be a shield law lawsuit soon. I didn't think it would be TODAY. Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama have filed a bill of complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court against New York, Massachusetts, and California. Hold on to your butts.

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

The "all anti-Zionism is always and forever antisemitism" people and the "all antisemitism becomes fine if we just say it's anti-Zionism, even if we're ranting about the Talmud" people reinforce one another, even if both sides utterly fail to see it.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

This All happened within 4 days. ICE is lawless.

Within the last week, ICE agents shot 28 Wilbur Raphael Garces Perez from behind at his neck in Austin, Texas.

They ran over 28-year-old Edgar Cabrera Gomez in Albany he was lodged under their vehicle, reportedly breaking his spine and leg.

They attempted two kid 35 year old Mario David Coronado Juarez in Grand rap, leading to a crash that took his life.

36-year-old Carlos Josue Marchena died under ICE custody in Winfield, Louisiana.

Zionism is an actual thing you can condemn, but if you're just throwing "Zionist" as an insult at anyone you don't like when the subject at hand has nothing to do with Israel - which is becoming far too common - then yeah, that's antisemitic. Hope that clarifies things!

Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop.

Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community.

Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered.

Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.
