As a young child, my sister hit Huey Lewis right in the sack while deplaning at SFO.

He patted her on the head as he doubled over.

My sincere condolences on your loss.

At 13, I watched The Deerhunter, by myself, before school.

If I were Shakespeare, I would have written hundreds of plays about that big hole next to the tree. Nothing else.

Two cities under siege Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

New at The Watch:

I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution.

They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis.

1/ Another pressure point outside of a general strike is the public and private shunning of anyone who still supports this administration. I made a clear "MAGA not welcome here" policy long ago, and that has included family members. They need to feel societal pressure. They need to be shamed.

America’s wholesome square dancing tradition is a tool of white supremacy If you live in the United States, chances are high that, growing up, you had to take square dancing in gym class

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as β€œthe adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear β€” war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Fifteen years ago a friend told me the reason she doesn't shower at the health club.

"No one needs to know how thoroughly I dry my vagina."

I think about this every time I shower.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

β€œI spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Sadly, you might wanna hold that thought. Video exists of a 15 yo girl being kidnapped from her car in Hoffman Estates yesterday and of a woman grabbed getting into her car on a quiet street in Kenilworth. Houses were breached in Elgin recently. The suburbs are not necessarily safer.

This whole conversation about signing up for protests is ridiculous because how do you all think we get paid??!?!

Not that that's a fair comparison. I love Walton but, in the fullness of time, let's see if he's a Redford.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

I'm sorry. I take my Dad to a similar medical office. I just don't understand people.

Old school? Mostly massage & acupuncture & meditation groups. Everyone I've known through the center is pro-vax and it's one of the few places in town that doesn't ostracize masking.

Sure, there are likely some quacks but at no greater rate than your average Primary Care practice at this point.

So you're saying there's a faction that argues over whether victims of the Holocaust died -from- nazis or -with- nazis?! I wish I could say that's unbelievable but of course...
