they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Ah yes, the Kavanaugh stop. A brief law enforcement encounter that lasts a mere *checks notes* 25 days.
The Department of Homeland Security released a Maryland woman who was held for 25 days despite evidence that her lawyers say proves she was born in the United States and is a citizen.
After 25 days, ICE releases Maryland woman who says she is a U.S. citizen
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was detained in December despite her legal team’s claims that she was born in the United States.

So just to recap:
ICE killed someone in Minneapolis today. It is, so far, the city's only murder of 2026.
ICE also harassed people at local daycare centers and a high school
The president and cabinet members then spread clear, horrifying lies about the victim, the events, and the city in general

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

It is criminal what the US has done to its children through car culture. They go from supervised activity to car to supervised activity to car ... no wayfinding, no autonomy, no agency, no risk, no sense of adventure or surprise. We're raising helpless, emotionally fragile computer kids.
The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
Kids need freedom. Dangerous roads make it hard to grant it.
Bigger cars, distracted drivers and worried parents mean fewer kids are roaming freely.

Yes, temperatures are rising. But more and more AC means more and more CO2 – and then more and more global heating. Let’s have some long-term thinking instead, writes Guardian columnist Emma Beddington

There's something darkly amusing about the fact that, in a political atmosphere rife with paranoid xenophobia about China, the GOP is passing a big high-profile bill that amounts to *total surrender to China*.
Sobering piece in @nytimes.com compares China's advances in clean energy to the U.S.'s retrenchment in fossil fuels. Hard to read at a moment when the U.S. is giving up on a more affordable, healthier, and more sustainable future.
