The Kennedy Center Crackup
“Mr. Grenell wanted to be addressed as ‘the ambassador.’ He fought publicly and often with hecklers in the comment section of the Kennedy Center’s Instagram account. (‘You sound vaccinated,’ he replied to one person who compared him to the Nazis from ‘The Sound of Music.’)”

It is sad, but not surprising, that the president of Mexico is wasting her time on frivolous matters like suing the man who groped her.

Famous 1987 American Library Association poster of David Bowie, holding a book with a look of rapt intensity on his face, wearing a varsity letter jacket and jeans, pose seemingly caught in mid-leap. In the original poster this image was surmounted by the word READ, which I have replaced with WEED.

BREAKING: ICE unlawfully arrested E.J.C.C., a 16-year-old Bronx high schooler with protective SIJ status. ICE agents illegally detained him when he appeared for a mandatory, routine check in. Now, ICE is attempting to deport him to dangerous conditions in Ecuador.
We are filing for his release.

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.

a couple weeks ago I submitted paperwork to kick off the process of applying for Austrian citizenship for me and my children
the reason I am allowed to do this is that my grandmother, at age 12, escaped the country to get away from the nazis
sorry but I don't have a lot of grace for nazi tattoos

Hey y’all wanna see the dictionary definition of centering yourself in a story about marginalized people that isn’t about you? Literally the picture perfect example of “you’ve got a lot of fucking nerve”?

Forget about “soft autocracy”
'If you’ve looked at footage from Portland, you know that the “relentless terrorist assaults” on ICE officers consist mainly of people yelling at them. But in Miller’s eyes that’s a hate crime.'

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
