if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

She's nervous. She knows Neville is probably nervous as well, even more than her, if he is to be believed about this being his first time (and she does believe him, wholeheartedly, every time he opens his mouth).

The cure for loneliness is making plans with friends, saying yes to new things, and dealing with stuff like long commutes. For example: on Wednesday, I went to a Blue Jays-Yankees playoff game with a friend despite the long subway ride to the Bronx and a desire to hide in my apartment. It was fun!

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

The American right might have power but they will never know ball or be cool. They make no lasting art, fear beautiful cities like Chicago and LA, and don’t even like sports. They have no vision but domination and death. Losers!

For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "

At a transportation research conference that is still probably about 90% dudes. We miss so much in planning and engineering our communities when everyone in the room has similar experiences of how people interact with you in public space.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.
