Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

He also wrote a song that Barry Manilow recorded ("Read Em and Weep") and one for Air Supply ("Making Love out of Nothing at All"). In addition, he wrote a follow up album to "Bat out of Hell" for Meat Loaf in the early 1980s that Meat Loaf was unable to record, she he recorded it himself.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

The only violence in Portland is being committed by ICE, almost all of it unprovoked as they try to create the violence they claim exists in that peaceful city 🀬🀬🀬

Donald Trump just posted this on Truth Social. He’s a national embarrassment.

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β€” what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β€” what would we say?

Authoritarianism β€” let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Trump: β€œ300 million people [Americans] died last year from drugs.”

Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers."

Do something about it, you evil bastards.

1. Tate Modern - I know you already mentioned it
2. British Museum - It's crowded for a reason
3. Regent's Park Open Air Theatre - Great atmosphere to see whatever is on
4. Brick Lane/Shoreditch/Spitalfields - Fun markets, great food
5. Any park on a sunny day

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.

This is inexcusable. She should resign.

On the topic of presidential mental acuity, the current president was awake at 1:30am rage tweeting about his former opponents’ crowd sizes and calling BeyoncΓ©, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen β€˜unpatriotic entertainers.’ Where is the news cycle about his fitness for office?

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

I remember when the only bad thing about flying out of Denver Intl Airport was the distance from the city. Now that's one of the least objectionable things about it. Between the traffic on PeΓ±a Blvd, constant construction, long security lines, and poor signage, flying out of DEN is a nightmare

Here is Earth's rotation realized in an unusual way: using a camera scanning the landscape of Tivoli, Namibia, Bartosz WojczyΕ„ski focused on the sky.

He created a timelapse spanning 24 h that has a focal point in the sky rather than on the ground.
