O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

I regret to inform you that a woman cannot have a different opinion on sports without being laughed at. No different than twitter. Smdh.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I’m sure the self-proclaimed ‘most transparent White House in history’ won’t mind a thorough investigation into the second strike.

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

In one day, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera have taken over as my most-watched filmmakers of the year on Letterboxd. They're going to finish this month as my most-watched filmmakers OF ALL TIME.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Illinois is launching a new initiative to document abuses by federal agents - calling out ICE and CBP for targeting people of color and dodging accountability. "We're going to have to keep a record. These people need to be held accountable."

My friend told me she always bakes muffins with her leftover cranberry sauce, and I was amazed that had never occurred to me.

So I looked up a recipe for cranberry coffee cake. Will be trying that tomorrow.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.

I would mention libraries, but…

RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

It took 30 mins of calling but I finally got through to the vet to get a tech appt for Parker. She said they had one at 1 tomorrow. Fine, whatever. Then they call back and say they need proof of her current rabies vaccine first. Fine, again, whatever. I email the records to them.

Yeah. I am having to agree with certain people.

There's too many indie games exploiting endorphin loops and going all Cocomelon on gamers. That shit is not sustainable and is bad for everyone.

So according to the 8 year old as we left for school this morning, the 6 year old is ‘a fucking idiot’.
Luckily the exchange was caught on Ring, so at least I can try and monetise it.
Oh. And the puppy stepped in its own poo then walked it through the kitchen.
No video.
How’s your morning going? 🤪

While it is a movie away and it is on a weeknight, "Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip" is the greatest stand-up comedy film ever. I got to see it when it came out at the Chicago Theater.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition
