I live in a one hundred-year-old house with my sweetie and our cat. We garden in a tree-shaded yard. I have opinions, just like everyone else.

This is excellent coverage: it gives readers context beyond the specific incident, showing a pattern of excessive force, and also documents that DHS keeps using the same and increasingly debunked explanations. Much better than both sidesing the shooting.
Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed:
The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

it is the seventh day of the new year and we've got ICE murdering civilians, X gleefully producing CSAM/non consensual porn, the kidnapping of a foreign leader, the bluster around Greenland and the potential destabilization of NATO, and I'm sure you all will add more in replies..

The level of pettiness here is almost unbelievable. According to sources close to The White House who spoke to WaPo, Donald Trump reportedly soured on supporting Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after she accepted a Nobel Peace Prize instead of insisting it be awarded to him.

Sunday is a big day here for "It won't work" and "Actually" and "You're so naive" and "Like there'll even BE elections." I get the power of depression and despair, but I'm still gonna block everyone who comes at me with that, because in a contest between your need to vent and my self-care, I win.

Jesus Christ. Every Sunday host should be asking every Republican if they think Tim Walz murdered Melissa Hortman. And when they say no, ask what it says about this president that he’s amplifying this garbage.

the terracotta warriors are literally painted, by the way, it's why most of them remain in the pits - they lost their color when exposed, and Chinese archaeologists and other scientists have been trying to figure out a way to excavate the rest while keeping the paint intact
Just realized that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's "Terracotta Army" of clay soldiers he kept in a vault in like 200 BC make him the first Warhammer Guy. he got some disposable income and started painting minis. totally get it

So I mentioned yesterday that an Imam in Minnesota keeps a beautiful copy of the Qu'ran for ceremonial use by Muslims elected to offices in Minnesota. But this started in 2016. And Keith Ellison (now State Attorney General) was elected to the US House of Representatives in 2006. 🧵
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

“This is why it is imperative to dispose of any and all witnesses.”
It is not a mere breach of etiquette for a girl to ride or take country walks alone, it is absolutely unseemly and dangerous, even for a lady of middle age. There is always a chance of meeting tramps, or even drunken men of their own neighbourhood, and the risk of insult or robbery.
