Mass shooting at Brown U.: When gun heartbreak comes home | Will Bunch A mass shooting at my alma mater is a gutting reminder that no one is safe until we tackle America's gun crisis.

A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people

Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns

Women have standards they want met and are choosy about their partners. The white Christian Nationalists and Nazi-adjacent pals hate this and want to force women to be submissive breeders and homeakers in service to men. It's weaponized misogyny that must be fought on all fronts.

The orange felon insults yet another female reporter by calling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins β€œstupid and nasty” after she inquired about the price of his trashy dictator ballroom after it increased by another $100M.

The business of caring for older Americans is in a deepening crisis Government funding cuts, caregiver shortages and immigration limits are adding new strains to an industry that’s already hard-pressed to meet demand.

Home health workers and caregivers fill a critical role in the health care ecosystem as America ages and demand for caregivers soars.

But government funding cuts, a caregiver shortage and immigration limits are layering new strains on the industry.

On this date in 1979, #StarTrek: The Motion Picture premiered, starring the entire original cast along with Mark Lenard (playing a Klingon instead of Sarek for this one) & Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand, now the transporter chief. Has your opinion of it changed over time?

Corrupt criminals love to praise each other. FIFA has long been corrupt, and Trump is the epitome of a self-dealing pedophile criminal.

Only 12 Pearl Harbor survivors remain. On the 84th anniversary, none can attend this year’s remembrance | CNN Survivors of the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor have long been the center of a remembrance ceremony held each year on the military base’s waterfront.

There are just a handful of Pearl Harbor survivors left, and none of them could make the remembrance ceremony today. As the Greatest Generation passes into history, let's honor their fight against fascism by standing up against it today. www.cnn.com/2025/12/07/u...

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.
