NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street.
They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

I think this bag is fake.
Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.
This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

Also I know appearance shaming and heteronormative makeup expectations are wrong but I see those eyes and I don’t think “Vice President” I think “high school sophomore outside Hot Topic who asks her friends to call her Sybil Gravedance”
Vance: "When they encourage us to unmask ICE law enforcement officers, what do you think is gonna happen? ... what's gonna happen is political violence & it has gotten out of control in this country. We gotta stop it, we gotta condemn it, & that starts unfortunately at the very top of the Dem Party"

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

'Sunset Sky,' (1915) is a small work by Tom Thomson (21cm x 26 cm) so it has the immediacy, intimacy, and intricacy, the compressed power and what one might call a high ignition point; he was working at a feverish pitch of emotional excitement.

Social media has been so far I think a net negative for mankind because it incentivizes people to be the worst possible version of themselves.

It's the typical liberal pearl clutching on this platform over the airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Meanwhile no-one can explain how the world is worse off for Iran losing the ability to develop nuclear weapons.
