At one point our lineup was Pat Spencer, Gui Santos, Quinten Post, LJ Cryer, and some guy named Nate who I didn't even know was on the team. But they got it done!

Can't answer the why but I'm pretty sure the culprits are the same people who don't pick up their dogs' poop on the sidewalk. Hate them.
You can understand the Iranian regime is oppressive and murderous and also understand that this war of aggression against it is illegal and immoral and that those who will suffer the most from it are the people of Iran.
Sure would be a good time to have not laid off your entire Middle East bureau.
It would be nice if statements by members of Congress on the U.S. attack on Iran started with something like:
βThis attack is an unconstitutional usurpation of Congressβs war powers.β
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
THIS.
We are at war for no good reason because we created a presidency with unbounded war powers and then elected a madman to it www.vox.com/politics/481...
Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
Such silly reactions from your interviewers. Sardines are a delicious, nutritious, and easy lunch. I like them packed in spicy tomato sauce, eaten over couscous with a handful of sliced scallions.
I just became a monthly subscriber. If you can, you should too.

Always remember THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS. In the realm of Online, they can just say things and have them treated as true. In the realm of Real Life, there are 115,000 polling places in America and DHS has like 15,000 dudes total.
Greetings from inside the economic blockade zones of Minneapolis and St Paul! Donβt look away, please. We need you. Itβs been a month and theyβre trying to destroy us.

The thing is, if you do not want to be called out as a liar, do not lie.
This is the way.

Something has changed in recent weeks. The lies are no longer about shadowy figures wielding great power and influence. They are now targeting everyday citizens β people standing in their own communities, in front of their homes, protecting their neighbors. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...
Yesterday, I awoke to news of another ICE killing in MN. On Bluesky, the conversation was deeply critical of ICE. But I wanted to see how things were going on X. Surprisingly, the attempts there to blame the victim weren't getting as much traction as I suspected. So I wrote a thing.
Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti βWe are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the βheroβ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trumpβs murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I think it's going to be turkey noodle soup here.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
He is insane. He is a madman. He is unhinged. He is dangerous.
