These are all adult cops escalating into violence against teenagers. Many of the students are now being held by the cops who assaulted them.

On Friday, Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers filed suit to stop the release of about 90,000 Epstein files. Her lawyers say a law Congress passed in December to force the release of millions of Epstein-related documents violates the Constitutionโ€™s separation of powers doctrine.

CNN: Apparently the breakfast had been going well. Then Trump became enraged. He started ranting about the decision, not only calling it a disgrace, but started attacking the courts at one point saying: these fโ€™ing courts

Yes, the Supreme Court ruled that the orange felonโ€™s sweeping global tariffs are illegal, but will they force him to pay back all the money the American people have personally lost as a result of his fraudulent recklessness, nope and thatโ€™s the most sinister takeaway for me.

Kavanaugh literally advising Trump from the bench on how to get around the courtโ€™s ruling is some real dystopian stuff. Utterly disqualifying

Finally saw Alysaโ€™s whole routine. That might have been the smoothest, most relaxed, confident, carefree skate Iโ€™ve ever seen. What a joyful way to make it to gold. ๐Ÿ˜ญโ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I managed to keep myself away from the feeds all day so I just watched the free skate--and it was amazing to watch Alysa Liu skate. So free and unabashedly joyful. A gold medal is just icing on the cake.

(And how adorable was Ami Nakai for being so happy to get the bronze. And Amber Glenn is ๐Ÿ”ฅ)

This platform needs way more freaking out about Alysa Liu. Oakland chill yet extreme excellence is the antidote to everything thatโ€™s so broken right now.

I am so sad to hear about Eric Dane. I am also shocked by how quickly ALS took him.

I remember that shower scene when he first showed up on Greyโ€™s Anatomy.

My cousin and I shared a heart attack.

McSteamy and Dawson. Goddamn.

Eric Dane, Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria Star, Dead at 53 Nearly 1 Year After Announcing ALS Diagnosis Eric Dane has died at the age of 53. Dane was best known for his roles as Dr. Mark Sloan, a.k.a. McSteamy, on 'Grey's Anatomy', and his role as Cal Jacobs on 'Euphoria'.

The loss of Eric Dane feels deeply personal for so many of us. He brought a quiet intensity to every role he touched characters who were flawed, magnetic, sometimes infuriating, but always human.

This is so sad. He was only 53. ALS is such a cruel disease.

RIPower Eric Dane, Mr. McSteamy ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Veteran actor Eric Dane, who starred as the unforgettable Dr. Mark Sloan โ€” a.k.a. McSteamy โ€” in Greyโ€™s Anatomy and the hit HBO drama Euphoria, died on Thursday, Feb. 19, at the age of 53.

Eric Dane first noticed symptoms of what would turn out to be ALS in 2024.

He was formally diagnosed in April 2025 and shared the news publicly the same month.

So he had less than two years from the time he noticed symptoms until he passed away, and less than a year after diagnosis.

Devastating.
