The announcers talked nonstop about Lindsay Vonn and even when they were talking about Breezy Johnson, were talking about how she must be feeling about Lindsay Vonn. Yes, it's tragic - but give Breezy some love about her accomplishment. Damnit.

Hiring for federal prosecutors has grown tough under Trump. For one thing, ideological questions are now part of the process.
“How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role?” reads one query on an application.

Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.
People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized.
The camps are full of disease.
TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable.
It’s eugenics.
