For Alex Pretti
Because his last words were for a woman;
because he asked,
are you ok, are you ok;
because had learned to say it
by standing each night beside the dying;
because sometime he held their hands; because he had only lived long enough as the scent of childhood in an album; because he was a son;
because he sang once;
because of all of it,
because of all of it,
because of all of it
tell it, tell the story;
a breath has left;
a country is dying; and a man laid his face
on its pavement today
as though he were listening
to a patient's heart-
even then, even at the ending-
to do what he was there to do: heal.

TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter?
SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

Premier Melanie Jolie is excellent. She's an insightful and strategic member of our gov't. This video is another example of how strong she and others in Carney's gov't. are. www.youtube.com/live/nbeds7x...

Yes, liberals have guns too.
You don't hear much about it because we treat

our guns the same way Republicans treat their abortions: We have them, we just don't
talk about them.

Hey MAGA, they might not be coming for your guns, but if you’re actually carrying it, well uh, “you are raising the risk of force being used against you.” So tick tock mother fuckers

I was looking at listings for my local movie theatre and was appalled to see that one of the options was this dross.

If I get an urge to see that movie, I’ll schedule a root canal instead. It will surely be more fun.

Will the number of people going to see the Melania movie exceed the number of Fox viewers who are aware of Trump’s pardons?

They still described the incident incorrectly. The woman had been shoved multiple times across the street and ended up in the snowbank. It wasn't foolish for him to help her, and it was THEN they were pepper sprayed. So WSJ editorial is still a conservative rag.

from the atlantic: Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change.
obviously this is far from over but forcing this hateful hobgoblin into retirement is not nothing

Robert Garcia is clear. ICE is not welcome in Long Beach. Communities deserve safety, dignity, and accountability, not intimidation and federal dragnet policing. Congress must stop funding abuse and listen to the people on the ground. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Trump's "later" is always "never".
Deny, divert, delay. And repeat forever until everyone gets worn down and forgets about it.
Like the Trump-Epstein files.
100% effective.
