A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

ICE Shot a DoorDash Driver in the Back in Austin

Rather than getting him medical help, they carted him off to an ICE detention complex—and the bullet is still in his back.

This ‘deal’ would be an insult to the hundreds of thousands of workers, journalists, and consumers who will be hurt if the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger goes forward. An agreement based only on unenforceable concessions is a win for David Ellison and a loss for everyone else.

The NY Times is in “but her emails” mode regarding Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker. Relentless and unfair. Where’s the big story about a Republican megadonor who is a white supremacist? Maybe NYT has heard of him. His name‘s Elon Musk.

Whether it's the use of data to track patients traveling for reproductive care or its abuse by ICE officials to conduct searches without warrants, the improper use of Flock camera data is dangerous and creating an uproar.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Thread. This is suppression of speech. Yes, Kraft “owns” the stadium, so it isn’t technically public property—but it is a fascist move by someone whose money matters more than anything else. Kraft did this because he could. That asshole. And Ed Sheeran caved. Disappointing.

Macklemore has put out an incredible statement about being removed from Ed Sheeran’s tour. His removal was engineered by Trump’s bestie Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots and Foxborough stadium who rallied other owners to silence Macklemore for speaking out about Palestine.

Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.

Ossoff: "Then there's the ex-staffer posting swastikas and Klan regalia. And the neo-Nazi with a million followers who produces neo-Nazi propaganda at Collins's house ... a man who won't take responsibility for what happens under his own roof can't be trusted with our national affairs."
