It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Years ago I went to a special fundraising event with Seattle musicians doing short sets. One of them, who is fairly well known, walked by us after his set and my friend, who is a tiny woman, told me that she had tried on the jacket he was wearing in the downtown Macy’s women’s dept.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules.

They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety.

Lawless thugs.

I feel comfortable mentioning the time I mildly criticized Jake Tapper on Twitter for a “what do you expect of a defense lawyer“ comment on Twitter and he responded by DM just FURIOUS and resentful I would call him out in public.

When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Changing my sheets and I realized that I hate my pillows, which are only a few months old, so am buying new ones. Life’s too short to sleep on pillows that are too heavy.

Apparently one of the victims had to call for emergency help after he had been shot by CBP.

A SHOOTING VICTIM HAD TO CALL FOR HELP…Because CBP didn’t?! What the hell is going on.

I taught a lot of sixth graders about Mercator Projection and I hope they remember this point. Greenland is not that big.
per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing
Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

I feel sick about the state of the world. Every day it seems like something new and more horrifying occurs. We are living in terrible times. I went to Seattle Art Museum this morning to see a wonderful exhibit and then ate Korean food so I had a bit of joy. I hope you can find something good today.
