This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Rumors have swirled that Amazon-owned Ring, which has sold tens of millions of smart cameras and video doorbells, has been providing ICE agents with access to user data. We contacted Ring for clarification, and Wirecutter independently investigated the concerns ourselves.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I've never been prouder of my Dutch ancestry than I am today.
Netherlands Queen Máxima is the wife of King Willem-Alexander.
She became queen consort upon his accession to the throne in 2013.
Real Queens know when they are standing next to a fake, tacky, wannabe king. 👑

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all,
Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.
Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?
Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
