Telling men to grow a pair is just as offensive as a man saying you can grab women by the pussy.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Congrats to @aliroginpbs.bsky.social and @pbsnews.org for the transcript editor's note and for the grilling of Marty Makary over careless characterizations of research on prenatal #acetaminophen. In the weeds for sure but sometimes you've got to dig for the truth. Science is not one man's opinion.

"Behind every airstrike, every surveillance drone, and every AI-powered kill list, there’s a tech company cashing a fat check.

Palantir, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft as well as the entire backbone of Silicon Valley are the silent contractors of empire."

A recent post by @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social linked to a story on the PVD city council further limiting police cooperation with ICE. It was met with a torrent of ugly comments, the link disabled, and finally David's post taken down. Here's the good news in today's Providence Journal:

I learned the word "fodder" in a conversation with my dad about boys a little older than me going to Vietnam.
Later, I studied the Great War.

This illustration is designed to make Dems look unappealing.
The story strategically demotes Pritzker, whose current standing as a contender is at least as high as anyone.

So much I could say, but I’ll just say she convinced her caucus to vote for something they hated and knew they’d lose their jobs over, on the promise that it’d be amended in some unknown way later through reconciliation. Nearly 40 million people have health insurance because of her. 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
