He pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.”

“They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

#BadBunny wearing a dress at the #SuperBowl isn't about shock; it's about joy, self-expression, and standing with queer communities in plain sight.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I keep saying this, but at the exact moment in history all nations should be working together to stave off the worst of the climate crisis, this admin is doing all it can to accelerate it.
somebody should inform the Politico/CNN/Axios/NYT brunchlord media establishment that corruption has hollowed out public safety, labor rights, and consumer protection, opening the door to decades of mass suffering and death

I feel like that might be an interesting story

Have reviewed thousands of documents from the Epstein Files.

I have located one and only one Black child rapist, a sole Black child abuser,

amidst the entire avalanche of disgustingness:

Justice Clarence Thomas.

Zero surprise there. Gross.

Politicians and CEOs who were mentioned in the Epstein Files are either resigning in disgrace or being criminally investigated, so how is it okay for the orange felon to remain in power when he is mentioned the most in the files as well as is actively covering up damaging info.

GoodRx powers TrumpRx as an official “key integration partner,” handling pricing, API integration, and coupon processing. The catch? TrumpRx covers just 43 drugs compared to thousands. Another scam.
