“They threatened our baby.”
“I know.”
“They threatened our baby,” she repeated. "Somebody dies for that.”
“Somebody will,” I assured her.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

I had the exact same thought. He's not really killing it on the couture front, is he?

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Don’t think “President” is the word. Not sure what would be more evocative of what he’s doing however.

Many migrant workers who came to Qatar to build the 2022 WC infrastructure found themselves jobless after the tournament. @josimarfootball.bsky.social reveals how some of them have been recruited by the Russian army, are fighting and die on the Ukrainian front.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

I’ve been thinking about your question further. Let me make this clear: if I’d been asked to deny Kate’s identity, I wouldn’t have taken the job. More than that, though, it has NEVER been an issue in any of our discussions. Kate is gay. That is not open for discussion to me or DC.
