After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

There has to be a reckoning for this, for all of it. No more “look forward, not back” nonsense. Not this time. Those who ordered this evil shit, and those who carried those orders out *must* be held to account.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Diane Keaton was not only a stellar artist and generational talent, she could also seemingly raid anyone’s wardrobe, even, apparently, Tom Wolfe’s, and step out looking like a gazillion goddamn bucks. What an absolute legend.

Fuck, I really can’t even with this today. RIP to the fucking realest

Image shows Galaxy-Class American actor Diane Keaton in the 70s. She’s wearing a slightly oversized white men’s suit with a shirt with thick pinstripes and a blue necktie with white polka dots. Is she mixing patterns with stripes and dots? You bet your ass she is. And She looks absolutely fucking stunning.

I put this on a thread but I wanna underline it. Diane Keaton basically penned her own Oscar, won Woody his first screenwriting award, and her hat/tie look (which was Keaton’s own doing) was almost as iconic as Travolta’s white suit. She wrote her own damn ticket. Legend. Cracked the screen.

Dave Zirin @edgeofsports.bsky.social · 10h

Her born name was Diane Hall. Her family called her Annie. And that performance cracks the damn screen. The most three dimensional character - let alone most three dimensional woman - in any Woody film. And that’s because she formed the character. Woody - for her line reads - was a stenographer.

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 14h

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
