Is there a possible “explanation” that would make this okay?!

Maj. Leader Erin Murphy: “I don’t want to live in a place where authorities think their responsibilities include shooting people, but don’t include helping the wounded or dying, even and especially if they’re the ones who caused it.”

this kid was spirited away to a "short-term residency program" owned by Bethany Christian Services, an evangelical adoption agency connected to Betsy DeVos

The stuffed animal things are unhinged. would not have to hold that thing the whole medal ceremony. Do they do something like that every Olympics and I just haven’t noticed?

The rivalry immediately fades and I feel bad for all the sad Canadians 😂 They’re our friends!

This is not meant to save money or manpower.

PreCheck et al was designed to reduce manpower & streamline the process.

This is meant to inconvenience as many people as possible, specifically those who paid directly to support the program.

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre.

Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

He also said at an “ICE out of schools” presser regarding Liam, “isn’t that the kid whose dad abandoned him?”

When C was in the NICU for a week the cost was $100,000 and with my state employee insurance I paid a total of $100. It’s wild.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

We won’t ever forget Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert Hortman.

Now, we honor Melissa’s legacy by building the Minnesota she believed in and fought so hard for.

Lakeville business owner: “This is not politics as usual; this is an affront to humanity. I both live and own a restaurant in a GOP district. If my Representative cares about me, my local business, my rights... he'd support these proposals [to hold ICE accountable]”

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

So brutal. When they were wondering whether he’d play it safe for the gold or go big to “make a statement”

He stumbled on the very first jump, so the whole thing is just gut wrenching 💔

Perhaps, just a thought, the breathless coverage of an individual young athlete being infallible, unbeatable, and perfect is not a healthy or helpful thing for them as humans!

I maybe would not, it is crushing

Exactly. The risk/reward balance has gotten so off. The amount you stand to both lose or gain by doing huge jumps causes such massive swings in points. At this point it might as well be a compulsory event where they just perform standalone jumps, why skate in between.

He was so lovely! Very happy for him, as shocking as it is overall.

My goddd no kidding. That part’s on him though 😆

Exactly! I’ve had bad feelings all week about the way they’ve been talking about him as such a shoe-in. That’s too much for a person!
