Dear @nytimes.com, the man's name is Ahmed al Ahmed.
He was shot by the second shooter, who was firing from a bridge. He suffered 2 gunshot wounds and as of 6 hours ago was undergoing surgery.

Real-time experiment: what happens when the world’s leading economy reallocates its law enforcement resources to liquidation of its own labor force?
New numbers show ICE is devouring US law enforcement: 1 in 5 US marshals, 1 in 5 FBI agents, half of all DEA agents, and over two-thirds of all ATF agents are now assigned to ICE enforcement. These are agencies with critical jobs they're now NOT doing.

And still 0 action on gun safety

The atrophy of congressional war powers to an effective nullity is just as much part of how we got to such an insanely aggrandized imperial presidency as all the other cases of executive power run amok. There would be no question of war with Venezuela right now without it.

The term “unskilled worker” was invented to make it seem normal that people working 40+ hours a week are still living paycheck to paycheck.

It’s not normal AND it’s not acceptable.

Seriously though, the construction of a very particular kind of empathy to the point of prioritizing the non-person (from "unborn babies" to AI) over actual persons is absolutely an essential part of white supremacist patriarchy

Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

Something Heinlein shares with our Silicon Valley lordlings is a professed faith in engineer heroes reasoning themselves out of any problem combined with a love of hucksters and conmen and people who can finesse their way out of problems.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

At schools, young people share a lot with their classmates: many lessons, joyous and sad moments.

They stand up and say, “No! You can't take any of us away!”

Do adults hear their voices?

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

So with over 40 million people in SNAP, you are saying less than 0.5% died since they signed up? That's not corruption; it's just mortality statistics.

Were they supposed to climb out of the grave and send in paperwork?
Brooke Rollins: "SNAP is a broken program. SNAP is full of corruption. We found 186,000 dead people."

Really can't get over this one. Calling it "corruption" for dead people not to update their paperwork is insane.

The implication is that people are claiming benefits fraudulently on behalf of dead people - but she carefully doesn't say that, just implies it, since that IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING!

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.
