Never before has the time change left me trampled like this. I am nothing before the hooves of arbitrary time. I am dust, and so sleepy

“When I saw her smile after coming home from work, all my pain disappeared. Now I don’t know what to do with this pain. I don’t know how to live with this.”

“There was nothing left of her. We could only identify her from her school bag, which she was still holding. She was completely burned.”

Rohollah recalls how his daughter wanted to become a doctor.

“She used to tell me, ‘I promise I will become a doctor so you won’t have to pay medical bills anymore.’ I would hold her and say, ‘You are already my little doctor’,” he said.

Every time I think this story can't get more horrific, a new detail emerges.

The 'double-tap' strike is a technique the IDF perfected in Gaza. The first strike is deadly, eliciting panic as those nearby rush in to help survivors. Then, once they are all in one place, the second strike arrives.

I mostly hear it in the context of older folks needing to limit their salt intake in order to better manage high blood pressure. Less often, people blaming salty foods on water retention and thus clothes fitting tighter than they wish

Ep. 4: The lawmaker who takes ivermectin, a Republican rift over data centers, and more from legislative week 4 • South Dakota Searchlight In the fourth episode of Searchlight Report, Meghan chronicles the fate of South Dakota legislative bills dealing with alternative COVID-19 treatments, a 50-year sales tax break for data centers,…

"I've been sick these last few days, because I did forget to take one specific drug that I bring here every year that I've been in the Legislature. And that is #ivermectin."

That comment kicks off the latest episode of 🎧️Searchlight Report, which reviews a lively legislative week. buff.ly/apDlFTN

I will not buy the claims that ICE has bigger guns when the lives of our children are at stake. In general, if local law enforcement can arrest residents who break the law, then they can arrest ICE agents who break the law. 3/

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

CIVIL CASE NO. SA-26-CV-415-FB § OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURT

Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The
Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this
administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R. The Great Writ
and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment.
Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled
power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And
the rule of law be damned.

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

Question from a friend just now: "When's the last time a South Dakotan was name checked in a Springsteen song?"
I believe the answer was never until just now. Kristi Noem's the first.
