If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

Thanks to parents Peanut and Butter at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and our partnership with the global coalition ReShark, this tiny pup represents real hope for her species.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

(this is a criticism of Barro, not Erb, to be clear. Though Johnson really could be insufferable, we wanted him to be that way)
Dr. Samuel Johnson holding a flat screen monitor close to his face & then looking confusedly at the reader, with the implied caption "What the fuck am I reading?" (I'll explain the joke here in ALT text for any who don't get it. Dr. Johnson was called Dr. Johnson for many years despite not having any degree. He was eventually granted a Masters just before he published his dictionary, & honorary doctorates years after that)

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs

CBP+ICE will ignore your identifying documents when it suits their racism

www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...
Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Fernando Vazquez doesn't understand why Border Patrol agents took him into custody Tuesday. Agents from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pinned him to a gate at his Cary worksite, handcuffed him and pulled his wallet out. They saw his N.C. REAL ID. But Vazquez, 18, said they still kept him in handcuffs and ushered him into the back of a gray Chevy Tahoe. He sat next to another worker in his early 20s who was crying. Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: 'I was in shock' Vazquez was born in Raleigh and lives in Apex. His parents are from Mexico, and he works with his dad as a landscaper. He graduated from Vernon Malone College and Career Academy in Raleigh. He was detained close to his former middle school, Reedy Creek. Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Vazquez said he saw eight agents — four from the Tahoe, and four from a Ford Explorer or Chevy Suburban. Agents put him in the back of the Tahoe and drove off. "I was in shock, basically," Vazquez said. While in the car, a different Latino agent asked Vazquez where he was from. "Here," Vazquez told him. "NO, where were you born?" the agent asked. Vazquez told him he was born in Raleigh. He said the agent got angry and cussed him out. Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: The agents eventually allowed Vazquez out of their SUV, and he caught a video of them removing his handcuffs and throwing his wallet out of the car, its contents scattering on the ground. The video has over 5 million views on TikTok.
