Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Tell that to Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s family.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

The Trade ... One Year Later.

Another lengthy chapter for the e-book on the Mavericks' incomprehensible decision to trade Luka Dončić away when and how they did ... freshly published from 25 different angles: tinyurl.com/2kj6kvx3
The Trade ... one year later
And we're still, frankly, trying to make sense of the midseason deal like no other that made Luka Dončić a Laker

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Airports by definition are a place where people are crisscrossing time zones and have messed up body clocks, pretending like meal times should apply there is a crime against the human condition
many things are bad. my boring hot take is since airport restaurants already charge so much more, they should offer breakfast items all day. sometimes people are flying in from other time zones. sometimes you want a BEC on a bagel at 1:30pm before boarding your plane.

A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.
