wow these people really got to have a movie moment 🥹

Better video of the moment when my band serenaded the newlyweds. This was so joyous and I will cherish it even though I don't know them at all.

“The [Israeli] military has not allowed CBS News or other foreign outlets to report independently inside Gaza since the war began, though it has offered a few previous IDF-organized and guided media tours.”

Israeli military brings CBS News to the edge of its control in Gaza, where destruction and uncertainty linger.

Israeli military brings CBS News to the edge of its control in Gaza, where destruction and uncertainty linger

Israel's military gave CBS News a rare look deep inside Gaza, where many questions still hang over the ruins of war and the future of 2 million Palestinians.

A nerve wasn't hit, you dumb mook. A functioning brain that has a few clues about just how little ACAB and Defund rhetoric has accomplished in years -- and how it utterly alienated the American political center from supporting any actual reform -- responded in full. You guys will never fix shit.

Looks like a nerve was hit here. There are no good cops. @audacityofdespair.bsky.social knows this, he’s produced award winning shows about this. The phrase isn’t “some cops”. There can be no rehabilitation

ACAB and Defund The Police -- the two most destructive messaging efforts from sloganeers who don't actually want to fix a fucking thing and will, at every opportunity, alienate the entire electorate from actual police reform for the sheer pleasure of their own self-regarding purities.

Eat a dick.

End the drug war. Change the mission. Demilitarize the police. Say no to mass incarceration. There's a lot of good work to purse.

But no. All Cops Are Bastards is what they want to sell. Fucking submorons and a plague on anyone trying to bring n American consensus to actual police reform.

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Hard, fast rule from a veteran police reporter: Excepting anyone engaged in infiltrating a criminal conspiracy in an undercover capacity, any law officer who hides his identity from the public is a shitheel is doing vile shit and is, in fact, actively destroying the credibility of law enforcement.

Awesome - we've reached the attached structures phase of storm trooper behavior.
Vestibules - ok
Foyers - also ok
Porte cochere - of course that's ok
Mudrooms? Have to get back to you, but still grabbing in there until DOJ takes a look
Carport -getouttaaahere - grab em!
Oh-we also just go inside too

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

I didn't get to watch it last night so I just sat down and looked at Zohran's acceptance speech

And the part about dismantling the conditions that facilitate the rise of despots?? Yes yes yes
