I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

So we have yet another incident where a US citizen was shot and killed by ICE, and the official ICE account differs from bodycam footage.

This is the story that took nearly a year to break and now we have the bodycam footage.

I once treated a guy with a massive back piece that was straight out of Geiger, think overlapping skulls in a mobius strip winding around a cross. Someone asked him if he planned to add flames and he said "No, that's KKK shit" and he was a white boy from Alabama. Come on now.

between the secretary of the treasury going on cable news to discuss war strategy, and the secretary of state speaking on a roundtable about college sports during a war... i'm starting to wonder how much it actually matters who is secretary of what over there

In the early 2000s some guy I didn’t know was showing off a new tattoo at a party, it was the busty mudflap silhouette woman with a hammer about to hit her, dude said it was a metaphor for not being controlled by desires. Every woman in that room was like β€œNope, it’s a hammer smashing a woman, pig.”

This story/report needs A LOT of context. The methodology is clear that it *should not be taken as representative* of global opinion. It included only one country in Africa...South Africa. Countries it sampled weren't pop-adjusted (e.g. oversampled Japan:US >4:1) AND +

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Exactly right.

The Civil Rights Division was able to show that it took exhaustive (and exhausting) work to litigate even the most obvious violations of the voting rights protections in the 1957 and 1960 acts, which ultimately convinced Congress and then SCOTUS that a much broader law was needed.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

The economy is on the precipice of a meltdown, we're facing stagflation, and we've started a regional war in the Middle East.

All this due to Donald Trump and we still haven't faced the tail risks of RFK Jr dismantling our public health infrastructure

Time for another big bill tonight: HB 5974, which simply says that elected sheriffs should adhere to the same conduct standards as the officers they lead.

There are *fifty* Republican amendments, so get ready. #waleg
