I got into Yale undergrad back in 2004 and of COURSE I was going to go, no one says no to Yale.

I went to a spring orientation for accepted high schoolers. The campus was plastered with a frat's jokey posters about how we were legally fuckable bc of CT's age of consent laws.

I did not go to Yale.
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

I should not have to say this but if you are a legal observer your job is not to go snitch on any and all illegal things.

Your job is SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to record law enforcement brutality, illegality, and overreach.

It is ABSOLUTELY NOT to snitch on protests you find too spicy.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, researchers have developed a targeted combination therapy that has successfully AND completely ELIMINATED KRAS-driven pancreatic tumors in experimental models. Tumors regressed COMPLETELY with NO recurrence OR major side effects. Let’s talk about that!

Three kittens have arrived! They are very grumpy about it, but they're skeletal and definitely needed to be in care.

A fourth kitten was trapped after these were already on their way to me. And, surprise, a fifth kitten has been spotted. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A reminder — there are *millions* of social sites on the internet, like Storygraph for your reading and Ravelry for your knitting, etc. It’s only the biggest, run by the extremist fascists, that do these terrible things. Don’t define the internet by a handful of apps run by 5 sociopaths.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

As I see more middle-of-the-road Dems process the tragedy that befell Alex Pretti, I see them processing grief by trying to differentiate ICE from Police. To claim that their actions are qualitatively different, somehow.

And I wonder on what planet they've been living.
CN: School shooting.

In 2019, Trystan Andrew Terrell came to a UNCC classroom with a pistol and began shooting indiscriminately.

A friend of a friend, Riley Howell, charged him. He tackled Terrell to the ground, shouting at the other students to run. His last words were "Go, Go, Go."
armed people who move quickly and are willing to die get stopped every single day. By people wielding chairs, knives, guns or their own fists.

this is not a gun control argument. but regular people do stop armed assailants daily. those stories just aren't newsworthy in part bc less people die.

But I need folks to understand that if they can see themselves in Alex Pretti or Renee Good, and they haven't been able to see themselves in Philando Castille or Breonna Taylor?

If it feels different, now?

I need you to examine that.

It's not an accusation. I'm glad you're here with us now.

Just sitting here remembering how the standard US response to bad numbers coming out about Police Brutality, or abuse in Prisons, or the racial demographics of who gets stopped by the cops, or anything else the carceral state doesn't want to fix, is just to stop allowing it to be studied.

Setting aside the fact that you cannot effectively stop an armed person who moves quickly and does not care if he lives or dies, how on Earth is this the responsibility of a person who is not in office as opposed to the actual damn mayor who was a cop and who has given the cops everything they want?

I can’t emphasize enough how much anti-ice sentiments have traveled across online communities. I’m seeing yarn hobbyists, comic book reviewers, anime nerds, family bloggers, COMEDY SKIT DUDES and even Disney Park enthusiasts speaking out against ice. I love to see it

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
