You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Giving medieval-era, scientifically-disproven medical advice and following it up with, “I emailed RFK Jr. about it and he said it was chill.”

Conversations overheard on the brewery patio: “If you could have like, a family crest… what would you want yours to be! I’d want maybe like an elk.” “Something Italian would be good.”

They say “don’t meet your heroes,” but they never said “don’t go to the bar your heroes meticulously recreated piece by piece just to rehearse a low-risk conversation with a trivia friend concerning your lies about having a master’s degree.” Probably not as catchy.

I’ve been saying for months that Clairo is essentially a modern day Charo (I haven’t), and now I can point to Toyota’s music databanks as solid proof (I can’t).
