Yuuuuuuup

Marimar Martinez, shot by federal agents in Chicago, testifying in Washington today:

The craziest thing is that I know a former ballerina who is married to an actual real life farmer and I kinda want to get her take on this

I don’t think I know anyone who does and honestly I’d lose my mind if I did

You mean to tell me a ballerina and her dilettante rich kid husband don’t know a thing about how to produce a food product safely

Bullet hole raises questions about federal authorities' account of shooting Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there — and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly claimed that an officer fired a single shot in self-defense during a violent encounter involving a shovel and a broom on Jan. 14, shortly after a man fled from a traffic stop during a targeted enforcement effort. But at a federal court hearing in St. Paul on Tuesday, an attorney for one of the men accused of assaulting that officer showed a federal judge and several reporters photographs on his laptop depicting a single bullet hole through the front door of the north Minneapolis home. Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep. That supports what family members have said all along: A federal agent shot at them through the front door, striking 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the thigh, while they were inside the threshold of the residence.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

In the last week, two of my favorite restaurants in my hometown have closed and I’m honestly sadder about that than the fact that my grandma died. So it goes.

holy shit

she had a really interesting life - maybe not as interesting as she would have liked (she wanted to be famous), but it was good. and now we can all breathe.

thank you. honestly, this is a good thing, nothing to be sad about.

more of this from democrats please, "here is the problem, here is who is responsible, here is what we are going to do about it" and then uh follow through though

She passed last night, finally. As my dad said, it's a blessed relief.

exactly. this is not difficult.

It doesn't always cover itself in glory but one thing the American legal profession has going for it is most of them have seen Judgment at Nuremberg.

A historic photo of the Greensboro 4.

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do.

#BlackHistoryMonth

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

When it happens I think it would be both fun and funny if after the celebrations die down no one ever says the name again or acknowledges he ever existed. Like see how long we can keep it up

Also anyway tl;dr my grandma is dying, finally, except that her body just won’t quit and yes we did make a joke about her determination to make to 100 in April. (But also, Grandma, it’s ok. Go. We love you. It’s ok to go.)

Holy shit

Tonight in “fascinating factoids about my dad’s first marriage!”:

-Through his then in-laws, he met Saul Alinsky and Margaret Mead. (At the same dinner? Unclear.)
-His first MIL went to college/was friends with Rod Serling!

I stg the more I slowly learn about first wife the more I wish I knew her.

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

There should be a live “Pop-up Video” feed of the Grammys that tells you who’s performing, what their backstory is, who they’re feuding/hooking up with, etc. Turn the Grammys into a three-hour crash course in pop culture for clueless older viewers (like, um, me)***
