‘I Just Stood Up’: The Stunning Arrest Of Aliya Rahman At The State Of The Union Rahman, who was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s guest, suspects she was targeted after testifying to Congress about her brutal ICE detention in Minneapolis.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up.

Really.

Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

😍

Here’s Delroy himself addressing the BAFTA incident at the Image Awards. I’m so glad he and Sinners team feel celebrated and properly centered 🥹

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The war was Bibi and MBS' idea.

Seems to be the pattern…

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

I got offline to go to a children's theater production and I'm not sure I want to catch up with the news.

Whenever you think that all of this is some well thought out plot by a group of ghoulish masterminds, remember that Ayatollah KhOmeIni died in 1989.

They are evil AND stupid.

This aged well. Note the author.

this is an absolute bald-faced lie, these were the exact consequences of the OBBB, there was a whole, separate side negotiation for an insufficient bail out for rural hospitals in order to get the bill passed and it is not to much to ask the press corpse to remember basic details

The REAL Reason Trump Has an Issue with Obama.

“Preventing childhood illness through scientifically and historically proven methodologies is boring and rote. Keeping kids alive is ready for disruption!”

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

Great stat from my colleague Cory Reppenhagen: 37 statewide Fire Weather Warnings this year is (by far) the highest year-to-date on record.

Lack of snow + consistent wind events = far more fire danger than usual this season.

We do NOT have an autism crisis. We have a society sucks crisis.

If you made it with ai, it is not art. You are not an artist. You are a typist.

Let’s get back to the fact that the man who was given 2 hours of prime time raped children.

The US Women's team declining Trump's token invite is being horrifically misrepresented in the media which is treating it as a decline of principle.

It's REALLY pissing me off because there is a much more important story here, and it deserves a bit more focus.

*I'm going to rant now

Decided I wanted to make some spaghetti. I need my comfort food right now

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

I think the collapse of print newspapers and the end of linear TV habits has created a context collapse for news. Where once day to day reporting and investigation and lifestyle sat side by side in one package, now they live as seperate things in people's minds, with reality warping effects

I asked Oldest, Gen Z, if he knew who Bill Clinton’s VP was.

He did not.

He DID know who Al Gore was. The guy who had the election stolen by the Supreme Court. Also the climate change guy.

I found that interesting.

Who knew the thumbs up would be the swastika of our times

Michael B Jordan 'disgusted by racial slur at BAFTAS as parents left in tears' Michael B Jordan was with Delroy Lindo on stage to present an award at the Baftas when John Davidson’s outburst shocked the audience.

So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed?

Still don't think an apology was owed? Some of you people are wretched fools.
