TN Holler isn't old enough to remember when saying anti-Muslim comments was a bipartisan affair. It was nearly a national past time in 2001-2014.

It's funny I never actually thought about the poem in the context of Alaska until this moment.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

1. Let me see if I have this right. The Russians are now helping the Iranians kill Americans, first by providing “targeting information,” according to the Post.

Frankly this one feels pretty normal from a President that called soldiers losers and suckers.

That was long before the majority of veterans voted for him for a third time.

The man charged Friday, Kenya Chapman, told federal agents in an interview that he stole the gun from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year before the shooting and recently sold it to Jalloh, according to an affidavit filed in court. Chapman said he met Jalloh at work and that Jalloh told him he needed the gun for protection as a delivery driver, the affidavit says.

The gun that was used to murder a man and injure two others at ODU was stolen out of a car and then sold to Jalloh. Wish that there was a "irresponsible asshole" charge for gun owners who leave their shit in cars.

3/13 UPDATE: I'm told that the last day for AJC reporters who were laid off has passed. Among them was Ariel Hart, who reports on healthcare policy, continuing a trend of women/ POCs laid off.

Yes, the paper of record in the city where the CDC has its headquarters no longer has a health reporter.

Oof. Sorry you weren’t progressive if Bari Weiss could convince you to lose empathy for human beings. Might have been a Democrat. But not progressive.

When you’re watching news, please make note on who they decide to interview in person and who they interview via phone or Zoom. This glowing piece on autonomous freight trucks spends 90% of the time with the the truck company in person and 15secs with a safety expert over a blurry zoom call.

How a Catch-a-Predator Sting Nabbed a Right-Wing Hatemonger Was Jake Lang evaluating a teenage girl for a bikinis-and-burkas protest? Or was something more lecherous at play?

Jake Lang, the organizer of an anti-Muslim rally outside of Zohran Mamdani's home, is now in big trouble after being caught flirtatiously texting someone he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

They posted the link with the ODU in caps - that doesn't work - it only works when it's in lowercase.

The shooting at ODU is a tragic event for our community. We mourn the loss of life while we acknowledge the students who showed extreme bravery and courage by stopping the shooter and preventing further loss of life. The FBI is going to dig in and track down every single lead as we work alongside our partners to find answers.

We encourage the public to submit any information, no matter how small, to http://fbi.gov/ODUshooting or http://tips.fbi.gov. Screenshot of  FBI website with PAGE NOT FOUND

Reynolds signs Iowa law barring local trans civil rights protections City and county civil rights commissions may no longer protect Iowans from gender identity-based discrimination under a law signed by Gov. Reynolds.

The first state in the US to remove statutory protections for an entire class, gender identity, has just enacted a bill preventing local municipalities from having their own protections for trans people.
