Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 11h agoWow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
a banner found above the front doors of the police HQ in Madison, Wisconsin this morning stated: “Arrest the killer cop, 608-266-4211.”
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
It’s not even August and I’m already having nightmares about showing up late to the first day of class.

March in Madison from where Corey Ruiz was shot by a Madison police officer to the police department
“My heart was so broken I don’t even know how to put it in words,” Ruiz’s daughter says of when she found out. “Sometimes when you get shot you live,” so at first she thought he might be alive. “People are saying he’s a criminal. So what? He had a family. He had me!”

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Got to see Laraaji tonight in Milwaukee, and I probably should have guessed that an event called “Ambient Church” would indeed take place in a church

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2w agoOver the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.
In classic Argentina fashion, they have decided to save all of their shots for the final few minutes of this game.
Lmao you know it’s bad when the Argentine COACH gets a yellow
0 shots on goal, 19 fouls, 2 touches in the opponent's box, 3 yellow cards. dismal stuff tbh
I know in my bones that Alexi Lalas LOVED that halftime show
I hate that that fuckboi Martinez is also a good keeper
If this goes to PKs they should make the muppets take them
