share the truth.
for everyone who can’t

post from Yashar Ali (username @/yashar) from twitter/x.
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs.
He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

Taylor Swift, on stage in the chevron midnights bodysuit from the eras tour, her back to the camera, looking cheekily over her shoulder. The “tayass” picture. The spotlight is shining brightly above and behind her, making her glow a bit

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Yesterday’s results in the comments

CANCELLED! The Bracket Battle

The background is a picture of Taylor Swift leaning against a greenish wall, the picture is closed up on her face. Her arms have dark red/purple rhinestoned gloves that match the bodysuit she’s wearing. She’s looking at the camera, her hair falling over a face. She has dark eye makeup, making her eyes pop and the signature red lipstick.
On top of the image it says “CANCELLED! The Bracket Battle” in a red font.

On the left side of the bracket there’s 17 white boxes with lyrics written in them, and 16 on the right side. In the middle there’s a box for the winner saying “The Ultimate Girlboss Lyric” in the same red font as the title.

Advanced to the next round are:
- At least/And now you know exactly who your friends are
- Were you just too smug for your own good?
- But if you can’t be good, then just be better at it
- But they’d already picked out your grave and hearse

Senate News: Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into their latest government funding bill that would make it easier to sell off public lands and national parks, and may have the votes to do it. If you care about protecting your public lands, now’s the time to make it known.
