I showed up to court with a letter from my doctor, my prescription, and my medication. Bravely—naively—I asked to be taken into custody, thinking jail would save me. I was wrong. @MarshallProj themarshallproject.org/2020/…

I can’t believe this is real. FOIA records appear to show Kash Patel directing his team to find accounts critizing him and respond. An aide warned that replying to “RetardFinder” would “look bad on you,” and Patel complained about the tweet views. Flagged by @seth_hettena

Today is my last day at HuffPost. After 11 years, I was laid off as part of the 33% cuts at BuzzFeed. My team, the National desk, was cut from 7 reporters to 3, after being cut from 14 to 7 just over a year ago
A statement from the HuffPost Union @WGAEast on today's layoffs.

MUTUAL AID REQUEST Delaney is trying to rebuild after living through -- and then leaving -- domestic violence. Now, she's essentially homeless and starting over from nothing. This is my friend's cousin, the GoFundMe is legit and 100% goes to her. gofund.me/4506b64cd

Portland! There’s still time to get your ballot in, due at 8pm! The judge seats are SUPER IMPORTANT. I like the Working Family Party recommendations: Position #2: Chris Behre Position #5: Jo Perini-Abbott Position #14: Joe Hagedorn

Kratom is not the same thing as 7-Oh. 7-Oh is made in a lab. Kratom = plant. 7-Oh is fully synthetic w/o quality controls. Their marketers shamelessly hawk it as Oxy-lite, and their CEOs make millions getting unsuspecting Americans dependent on it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

lol the Pope is trolling
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

The 69th Commission on Narcotic Drugs has wrapped. The US is still being the US. International diplomacy is incredible and very far from obsolete. It may save us yet. Austria is the 17th country I’ve traveled to while on methadone.

What’s a good venue to host a research symposium in Salem, Oregon? ~75 person capacity. Don’t say Pringle Hall, it’s booked.

Minnesota National Guard was asked why they’re handing out coffee, donuts, and hot chocolate to protesters. Answer: “It’s a demonstration of safety and security. We’re here to help.” That’s how you de-escalate. Not masks. Not threats. Not bullets.

Schrödinger’s Second Amendment: - Guns are a mandatory prerequisite for the government to respect your rights. - Guns immediately invalidate your rights and the government can execute you on the spot if you have one.

How the fuck does it escalate to the point of shots fired…from this? How the fuck does this administration think it is going to convince the country that this guy showed up looking to murder ICE agents?

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

Reminder that this guy showed up to a protest and *actually shot* three people only to be celebrated by Donald Trump.
Kristi Noem: "I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons and are using them to assault law enforcement officers."

Schrodinger’s gat was holstered, and then once an agent took it from him, he was summarily executed.

His gun was visibly still in its holster when it was removed by an agent, just before he was executed. This angle is indisputable.

The 2nd amendment is not for hunting, it is not for self protection It is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if god forbid government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens
