He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

A giant in the field of animal conservation and a champion of the elephant 🐘
Iain Douglas-Hamilton, a world-renowned expert on elephants who was one of the first to study their social behavior in the wild and dedicated his later years to fight poaching, has died at 83. He was one of the most visible advocates for protecting the animal, and founded Save the Elephants.
Iain Douglas-Hamilton, Elephant Expert and Protector, Dies
Born into a British aristocratic family, he turned his empathy and understanding of the world’s largest land mammals to the cause of saving them from poachers.

Wonderful thread 🧵
Today’s word tasting note is on “quick.”
I’m reading the autobiography of Geddy Lee, and so I’m listening to even more music by Rush than I usually do. And on Moving Pictures—the classic album that includes “Tom Sawyer,” “Limelight,” and “YYZ”—there’s one song that always quickens my pulse, 1/18

Inside Trump’s Atlantic City Mobbed-Up Empire
Donald Trump’s Atlantic City casinos were more than just gambling venues—they were repeatedly linked to organized crime, money laundering, and intelligence-connected figures like Jeffrey Epstein.
