LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.

Among the questions: β€œhow do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

Nice, my friend's dad was a Goodyear blimp pilot! A Polish Catholic priest and Holocaust survivor married my parents right before he passed. During WW2, he taught at an university along with a certain Karol Wojtyla. I was born 1967, and in 1991, I shook hands with Pope John Paul 2. Note my name.

Luis and his Mom in Florida de Jalisco in Shakopee.

Thank you to @stephenrodrick.bsky.social at Rolling Stone for telling the human story of ICE in Shakopee with such compassion, integrity, and care.

Made a short video as a response. 3 questions remain for me.

1) What is the definition of a "DEl activity," and how is it being communicated to NIH staff so they can determine whether a grant qualifies?

Netanyahu: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
Netanyahu: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

Four months ago, John Oliver quoted Netanyahu as having said that he could get Trump to do anything.

Here is a link to that "Last Week Tonight" program. It's a long presentation, a sort of mini-biography of Netanyahu, and there is profanity used for emphasis:

1. RxN+ QxR 2. QxRb6+ Kc8 3. Nxc5, forking the black queen and bishop. If Black moves queen out of danger, 4. NxB wins the bishop with White's queen covering. So 1. ... BxR avoids that fork, but White still wins material with R, N, & a pawn in exchange for a R, with queen side devoid of black pawns!

This is how we got here. The lack of judgement is just staggering. Dated: June 21, 2025

No need for Kc5: After 1. Nc3+ Ka5 2. Bc7+ Ka6 3. Na4, White's bishop blocks both a5 & b6 and his king blocks b5, so Black has no choice but to move his bishop on b7, and if he doesn't check the white king, then 4. Nc5++. 3. ... Bd5+ loses the bishop and a checkmate is possible with correct play.

No kidding, I'm an American and the spring of 2025 was very confusing on Bluesky with the elections going on in UK, CA, Australia and NZ with all having a Liberal Party of varying qualities!

If QxQ after Qe8+ then RxQ and the g4 pawn is only under attack from R and guarded by the white King. N is threatening only the h2 pawn.

Relevance: As with a CCPSA meeting held last month, the focus tonight is on CPD interactions w/ ICE and Border Patrol agents that may violate the Chicago Welcoming City ordinance.

CCPSA said it invited Snelling to participate in tonight's meeting to discuss those concerns.

Everyone of these powerful people already knew their names were in the Epstein files.

The panic isn’t about the files.
It’s about the public finally getting to see them.

Agreed! I'm a deaf X Gen and so many children were born deaf due to rubella epidemic and the largest enrollment at all deaf college programs was in 1983. My wife's mom was a Christian Scientist so never got vaccinated. She got sick in 1973 while pregnant. (my Deafness is due to a mutation)

I'm deaf since birth, a X-Gen and yet when my wife suggested Mackenzie as a name for our firstborn, I shot it down SO FAST!!!

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Not many recent offerings on Disraeli; tho Cesarini did a bio in 2016, "Disraeli: A Novel Politician" I remember watching the BBC series on him on PBS in the '80s with Ian McShane.

Yes that is an obscenity! My mother hailed from International Falls, and whenever we went up there, we would make it a point to take a boat ride out to the Kettle Falls Hotel for some fried fish!

ICE is buying incineratorsβ€”proof is $55 Billion "updated" contract.

Contract contains a specific provision for "biohazard incinerators"β€”listed under medical and death.

"That means they are specifically planning for death, and choosing to burn the evidence right there on site."
