If Shohei Ohtani can hit three home runs while pitching six shutout innings, you can spend a couple of hours marching for democracy.

Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law.

The DeSantis administration has not made public a list of names of the immigrants held at the facility in heavy duty tents at an airstrip in the Florida Everglades. Individuals sent to the makeshift detention center do not show up in an online government database that allows the public to search for immigrant detainees' whereabouts. Lawyers say they have had difficulty locating clients sent to the site, often learning that they are there when detainees call family members. An enforced disappearance is considered to be the arrest, detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty by agents of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law (Article 2 of the ICPED and Preamble of the Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance) It is characterized by three cumulative elements (defined in A/HRC/16/48/Add.3): 1. Deprivation of liberty against the will of the person; 2. Involvement of government officials, at least by acquiescence; 3. Refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person.

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey.
Delicious.

Why The Qataris Are Happy To Dump Their 747 On Trump
The president may be thirsting for a new four-engine jumbo jet, but many governments and royal families are unloading their fuel-guzzling palaces in the sky.

I went to the African American History museum in DC a few years ago. One of the most powerful exhibits was this crib with the shackles suspended above. It’s heartbreaking and it *should* be. The thought of these white supremacist snowflakes ruining these museums fills me with rage I can’t describe.
A crib and set of iron shackles on display at the African American History and Culture Museum in Washington DC. It represents the inter-generational torment and hopelessness of chattel slavery in America. And it’s exactly the kind of “hurtful” exhibit that is under threat from Trump and his white supremacist goons with their hurt fee-fees who are about to wreck the Smithsonian by changing it to match their pathetic far-right racist views.
