ICE raids Walgreens in Chicago—older white agent tackles Black man to the ground—arrests him for "running."

"He's a U.S. citizen! He's American!" a woman yells. "He's my brother-in-law!"

Store location was forced to close "because of everything with ICE"—manager told the rest of the customers.

How much anger does watching this cause you?
How can we allow this to continue?
Republicans in Congress and the Republicans on the Supreme Court need to be held accountable for this!

Trump’s America is vile.

And that was after he dragged all those guys off the PT boat and jacked his fucking latissimus dorsi up, leading to a life of debilitating lower-back and sciatica pain.

I think it’s also a lot like the appeal of Ayn Rand to teenage boys and their lack of knowledge of pragmatism, or cooperation, or how the rest of the world works outside of their small universe; they want to actualize fantasies they came up with as little kids playing with action figures.

Several month’s before Black Messiah’s release, there was a 2-man show… Questlove, and D’Angelo. I had no idea how this was gonna work, but it was outstanding! I recorded a then unknown song, which became “Really Love”. RIP D’Angelo

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.
