Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Metrosexual is literally Ancient Greek for "mother-sexual". Ergo, Oedipus was the first ever metrosexual in history.

Coming soon! The new documentary I’ve made with director Tony Buba and a great creative team: “Becoming Benjamin Lay” asks, who was this radical abolitionist and why was he so long forgotten? How did his dwarfism impact his politics? What does he have to say to us today?

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

At any point in the last 30 years the GOP could have backed Immigration Reform, funding for immigration courts to reduce backlogs and any number of policies to control immigration and they didn't to provide a wedge issue to gain power for this end game we are in now, fascism under one Party control.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

ICE escalated the protest in North Minneapolis last night. After their messy traffic stop came to its conclusion, they could have left the scene. They have no authority or mandate to respond to street protests. The only reason there was a protest was bc ICE was there and we're sick of their shit.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters that Ukraine - not Russia - is holding up a potential peace deal, rhetoric that stands in marked contrast to that of European allies, who have consistently argued Moscow has little interest in ending its war in Ukraine. - REU

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.
