“One of the things that I don’t think is getting talked enough about outside of Minnesota ... is how much this feels like ethnic cleansing. People are so afraid to go out and participate in public life regardless of their citizenship status. This isn’t about immigration.”

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

This court specifically avoided bringing up challenges on bans for gender affirming care for trans youth on parental rights grounds so they can weaponize parental rights against trans youth while stripping them from the supportive parents of trans youth. It's obscene.

You gotta respect fitness/diet influencers. Waking up today, seeing the news and then posting a new video like "How to have a more flattering nuclear shadow in time for WW3".

The regime won’t let you have clean hands if you work for them, even if they’re punishing you. This was leaked on purpose, is uncomfortably close to confessing to a war crime, and highlights once again how tech’s unthinking growth directly leads to dead kids.

Maria "won't somebody think of the children" Steen's husband is representing them. What's the betting there won't be any undermining of the cab rank rule in regard to this when she inevitably runs again in 6 years?

"In cultures where even discussion of sex is taboo, predators flourish. Comprehensive sex education doesn’t increase underage sexual activity, and banning books about sex and assault doesn’t eliminate sex and assault."

Britain is never going to have a serious conversation about the fact that one of the queen's final acts in life was to knowingly spend millions protecting one of Jeffrey Epstein's top collaborators just because he was mummy's favourite special boy.

She was a cruel, out of touch piece of shit.

There are days when every street i cross, the drivers are breaking the rules. Selfish petty behaviour from them willing to risk your life for their momentary convenience. F/a enforcement.

‘She was just walking her dog’ – girl (16) killed in hit-and-run among seven dead in worst 24-hour road toll in decade A 16-year-old girl killed in a hit-and-run in Co Meath was among seven people who died on Irish roads within a 24-hour period, marking one of the darkest days of the year so far.

Mia Lily Keogh O’Keeffe had been walking her dog near her home on the Slane Road in Navan when she was struck by a car at a pedestrian crossing about 8.20pm on Saturday.

She was one of seven people who died on the roads across the island of Ireland that day

Toronto shopping street

Toronto shopping street

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.

In fact, it was 4%.

And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...
