New name, same sarcasm. (Former TFette, current UGA football fan, ATL native) This is going to be a wild mix of politics, sports, and linguistics. Buckle up.

Quit waiting around for Black people to Do Something and then glomming on. Go do something. Do the thing you're wondering why no one is doing

This reminds me of the time when we ate at the β€œkitchen view” counter at the restaurant of a 3x James Beard award winning chef and it was an incredibly uncomfortable experience because he spent the whole time yelling at everybody in the kitchen

MSNBC reveals dark money group "Democracy Unmuted" has been paying influencers $1,500 per negative post about Kat Abughazaleh

Worth adding here that the FBI waited *years* to declare open war on the Black Panther Party, assassinating & incarcerating its leaders en masse. The thing that tipped the balance wasn't the guns, but the free breakfasts, groceries, & clinics that represented a genuine threat to state power.

Woke King Jalen Hurts is out here hiring women to represent him and reading books to schoolchildren while Maxx Crosby scurries around the country with Trump. It's nice!

'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limit The Trump administration has detained more than 900 children β€” including a boy with severe autism β€” for longer than allowed under a decades-old legal settlement.

ICE detained a 9-year-old with severe autism and his mom for more than 80 days.

The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.

Unable to understand why they couldn’t go home, he would cry through the night and hit himself, his mother told me.

My latest for @nbcnews.com

An effective long term strategy for those who care about independent and credible news would be to fund nonprofits to enable nonpartisan journalism. We can see where CNN is going, we need more ProPublicias.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

This was the White House's war plan:

Day #1 : Bomb

Day #2: Iran becomes a white Christian nationalist country

Day #3: Free gas

Day 4: Kid Rock concert/UFC fight broadcast from Tehran

So far, things are a bit off track

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

Chris Dudley, being a former NBA player.

So, once again, the party of β€œcelebrities should stay out of politics” is mostly candidates that used to be in an entertainment industry:

Actors, athletes, coaches, comedians, game show hosts, radio/podcast hosts, bloggers, etc.

its donald trump forbidding iran from mining the strait of hormuz forthwith

I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).

This ad shows her getting attacked by ICE as she protested.
I was there.
I saw what happened.
It was worse than these clips show, and her bravery was obvious.

After tear gas and pepper balls, after getting thrown to the ground, when the gas cleared she sat at that very spot, and started knitting.

I think the thing that angers me most about this is that, ok, fine, "president claims something" is accurate at least, but ESPN doesn't know what Trump is planning! you simply cannot report something anyone in this administration says as fact especially when it's unprovable!

I am not trying to do the whole "everything's a distraction" thing, but the DOJ holding onto specific allegations about Trump assaulting a minor and releasing them after a war against Iran has taken center stage is, uh... noteworthy timing.

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."
