DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.
DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

If near DC & you'll need a place for your family's next Quinceañera, consider the new East Wing Ballroom, unofficially renamed the “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” Ballroom" (← also our new rental event theme song). Splendid, + plenty of grass for parking!

You simply fly DIRECTLY AT that drone trying to shoot YOU down and press the firing button. Easy-peasy, except DON'T MISS, or expect Cessna Detonation!

@Samillingworth I'm working on an alternate theory that without dopamine, some worms just become more bored and too boring, and those bored worms just create fewer good NEW memories worth holding on to, so their best old memories ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS just tend to linger longer, absent dopamine!
🧠 Dopamine and forgetting
A new study shows dopamine helps the brain forget old memories. Worms lacking dopamine held onto memories longer, suggesting forgetting is an active, dopamine-driven process.

The one time I met Paul Vallas was at a conference and after a very brief conversation he showed me a plan for a "reform school" project he was pitching.
The man was carrying plans for a jail for children on his person and just...showing it to people.
That guy came really close to being mayor.

Actually, it really matters whether your electeds are progressive. We are often frustrated on the left at what electeds can deliver, but we have to remember moments like this. Paul Vallas would NOT have created ICE free zones.
HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

Let’s be clear: Every year the retirement age is raised is a 7% benefit cut.
Instead of cuts, Social Security can afford to INCREASE benefits if millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share!

Trump swore an oath to protect the American people and defend our constitution. Instead he is declaring war on Americans, while invoking symbols of the Confederacy. It's treason and he should be impeached.
