They tear gassed the city council VP, shot the press, and did all of the above to civilians while he witnessed
Carter said he stood by the city's police department, and Police Chief Axel Henry maintained his department did not violate the city’s separation ordinance.

Carter said Henry has begun a full review of the use of force during Tuesday’s response.

I want city council to ban tear gas/ pepper spray/chemical weapons in Saint Paul. Surely, we have the votes for it. It's only ever abused. I'd argue there's no justifiable use for it, ever, but even if there were, it's always abused.

I don't know what — or really, if anything — in Lizza's account is true, because I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. If *any* of it is true, the fact that we are only hearing about it now, after the fact, to drive subscriptions to his paywalled private newsletter, is frankly vile!

Part of being a dad is seeing Apple tell me to listen to the podcast after watching the episode and saying “no, I don’t think I will.” Every. Single. Time.

There's this weird mindset that voters won't object to a breaking of tax promises is if it's done in a sufficiently convoluted way. Like they're fae creatures impressed you found a way around their contract terms or something.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

Maybe my strongest take about social media is that people treating opinions about pop culture IP as rhetorical blood sport is a signal of how rotten all our brains have gotten.

This is very cool. Often food pantries need to spend their money making sure everyone has the basics to keep them fed and healthy, but not on the spices and flavors that make an enjoyable meal. www.burlapandbarrel.com/products/don...

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, is it true you called Trump a wretched ass-weasel with no redeeming qualities?

Mamdani: Well, I

Trump (interrupting): It’s ok, just say yes. *sigh* Who could say no to those eyes… that smile…

antisemitism exists, it is on the rise right now, it does not always come in the shape of Nazi governments.

and also, forever and ever, Rabbi Hillel taught: 'that which is hateful to you, do not do unto others. That is the whole of Torah, the rest is commentary'
As a Jew, I've always worried that "Never Again" would mean "Never Again TO US," but it's wild to see someone just come right out and say that.
Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Just finished reading The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei. When I got close to the end I started putting it down every few pages and then going right back because I didn’t want it to end but I also wanted to know what happened. Always a good feeling from a book.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
