A woman of no importance.
I’m not going to be able to watch the video that’s now circulating. Just can’t do graphic videos of murder, violence and people harming others.

Know your limits. Protect yourselves and your sense of humanity.

Yes, this is what happened.
Nearly half a dozen agents wrestling one individual to the ground and then one of them just starts shooting in the dog pile, steps back and unloads on the guy on the street.

You should assume that X is secretly run by the CIA, and that Musk is their little bitch.

Same for Palantir, and Thiel.

Your government murdered another citizen today.
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

My city worked for years to be awarded the honor of Host City for World Cup games.

But some things are bigger than sports.
I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

A producer in the London bureau is the *only* CBS person quoted in their story about Israel killing its longtime freelance cameramen in Gaza—someone who once filed dispatches for them from an ambulance, while wounded.

Well done, Minnesota.

I hear you, the whole world hears you, and when we find these people who knocked our children down, they'll hear all of us soon.

There is no hell hot enough for Stephen Miller.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

One of the funniest things of 2025 was when twitter introduced the location feature, and we found out that all "Alberta Independence" and "Alberta join the U.S.A" accounts, were actually Americans pretending to be Canadians.
Bessent: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause.

I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving.
