NY’s @GovKathyHochul: “All of a sudden this happens when they refuse to release the Epstein files. No one’s buying this… Texas, knock it off, and we ll knock it off. But we’re not gonna sit on the sidelines.”

This is the wealthiest nation in history.

Instead of making sure everyone has food, shelter, & healthcare, WE ARE FLYING A CHILD RAPIST WHO WE PAY TO HIS GOLF COURSE WITH A COTERIE OF BODYGUARDS WHO WE ALSO PAY.
And we let him take bribes.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. My gas mask paid for itself within the first minute the ice agents came out of the building. They escalated to this immediately, like it was a war zone- flash bombs, various gasses…

ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

Today, Israel targeted and killed 5 journalists: correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa.

A dark day from Gaza made possible thanks to the defeaning silence of govts and outlets that deemed this normal.

Israel dropped an aid pallet on a starving child today.
After he survived 22months of endless bombing & forced displacement.
Survived 5months of Israel's blockades & forced starvation.
They killed him with an aid drop.
Israel could just open the gate let the trucks in but they rather humiliate Gaza.

For all the conspicuous energy spent condemning the tiny number of women who have ever, throughout history, declared themselves political lesbians, virtually no one seems to notice that many more women are politically straight.

It's funny to be in love with something for more than twenty years and the love never fades. Will always love seeing true tailors at work. Unfortunately these sorts of small shops continue to disappear.

Removing References to History Is Part of a Troubling Trend The latest example of historic references being removed came as the Smithsonian Institution removed a reference to the impeachments of Donald Trump.

In Soviet-era Russia, officials who ran afoul of leaders like Josef Stalin disappeared not only from the government itself but from photographs and history books where they once appeared.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

This dog used to sniff out cold cases for police. Now she’s saving bees. Maple sniffs bee colonies for bacteria. Her team hopes she can become a blueprint for other dogs to detect diseases amid a staggering year for bee death.

Dogs are magic.

Letter from FBI Director Kash Patel firing veteran FBI agent Walter Giardina, whose wife died of cancer last month at age 49. Patel accuses this agent, a Marine combat veteran, of “weaponization.” Many of his FBI colleagues told me he did his job scrupulously and ethically.

Keeping Up With the Millers: Stephen Miller and His Wife, Katie, Found Love in a Hateful Place Trump’s favorite young power couple—after Jared and Ivanka and Don Jr. and Kimberly, that is—have carved out a special place in the administration for their rhetoric and ideology.

A great read to get some insight into her mind:

"The only thing she loves or values in this world is power. Anyone she attaches to in her life is simply a pawn to feed her addiction to it.”

Literally all they do is gather online. Then they go so insane from terminal online brainrot no one wants to be around them in real life so they gather online some more. It’s all they’re good at.
