Congrats to the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team for declining trump’s invitation to tonight’s SOTU; fuck the men’s team for allowing that munchkin Patel into their celebration and opening up enough to allow trump to climb headfirst into their assholes. I will not be watching trump’s fucking carnival show.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Spanish PM Sánchez: The owner of X, himself a migrant, used his personal account to amplify disinformation about the sovereign decision of my government to regularize 500,000 migrants who live, work, and contribute to the success of our country.

Amid allegations of cover-up, House Judiciary Committee members seek access to full Epstein case files The U.S. House Judiciary Committee's inquiry said the panel has questions about why the Department of Justice released only half of the estimated pages of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

ALERT: US House Judiciary Cmte Democrats seek “immediate arrangements” to view full Epstein files

They cite widespread redactions and withholdings by Justice Dept, saying Trump Admin is “strangely” saying it’s complied with law

Is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?

Bondi seeks Minnesota voter rolls, welfare data to "help bring back law and order" in wake of shootings Minnesota's secretary of state rejected a request from Attorney General Pam Bondi for federal access state voter rolls and welfare data, as tensions flare in Minneapolis after a man was shot and kille...

Pam Bondi telling Minneapolis that ICE will be recalled *only* when that blue city turns over its voter rolls is a clear reveal that this isn't about immigration. It's about interfering with upcoming elections that may not favor Donald Trump.

It's extortion.

Private Autopsy Shows Renee Good Was Shot at Least 3 Times, Lawyers Say

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

I didn’t see a single word, picture, or video of MLK on NFL broadcasts yesterday. The NBA has a full slate of games today in his honor. Did I miss something?

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas A man arrested by immigration officials in Minneapolis died in federal detention in Texas.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

Wut? Were you looking at the same recordings we were all looking at? That man needs to be investigated and charged with murder.

You really have to have a touch of sado-masochism in you to even be a sports fan.

By definition only one team in the sport you're following is going to end up being the champion. The odds of your team being those guys are pretty slim.

What is wrong with us?

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.
