Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

Great piece. Enjoyed it!

We need more of this kind of optimism and hope. My boy in front of a new mural in Exeter.

Spencer Cox is absolutely the most sensible elected Republican I've ever interviewed, which was when he was LG (I fear that sets a low bar but he genuinely is sensible)

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

Noen i Dagsrevyen (19.08) har gitt Trump et skikkelig Donald (Duck)-navn

Probably won't even be in the top 10 of awful things Trump will do this week, but the President has just nominated someone to head the BLS who is a running joke among other economists for his ignorance of basic statistics... 🙄

Your annual reminder that the FA were required to rename the Charity Shield to the Community Shield in 2002 after the Charity Commission found the minimum transparency requirements in funding charities were not being met.

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

A photograph of Suleiman al-Obeid, former captain of the Pakestinian national football team, killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food.

I admire Mo Salah's restraint.

"Farewell". Really?

Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

We are watching America’s separation of powers go up in smoke, wisp by wisp

In any sort of normal presidency and media environment, this would destroy the entire administration and force multiple cabinet resignations as well as the president himself.

Professor: Oppdrett slipper ut like mye fosfor og nitrogen som 40-60 millioner mennesker (+) Ifølge beregninger fra professor Espen Lydersen slipper den norske oppdrettsnæringen ut like mye nitrogen og fosfor i havet fra Rogaland til russergrensen som 40–50 millioner mennesker.

Bra av Espen Lydersen og andre forskere er voksne nok til å ta bladet fra munnen, på naturens og miljøets side. Oppdrettsindustrien har til nå fått dominere historiefortellinga med en helt absurd vri om at de ikke trenger rense utslippene sine for de fortynnes jo i kystvannet.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
