Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law
To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.
They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.
Nebraska erases a 16-point deficit to come back and beat Indiana at Assembly Hall.
The Huskers are now 16-0, stacking Quad 1 wins, and unequivocally the best story in college basketball.
As of today, Fred Hoiberg is the National Coach of the Year.
People will really call themselves “pro-life” and then twist themselves into knots trying to justify the point-blank execution of a 37-year old American mother, which left her young child orphaned.
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
"I'd do whatever for these kids. And as long as my mom's proud of everything I'm doing, that's a win for me as well."

Kyren Lacy took his own life because of lies that were spread about him. That kind of harm is real and his family deserves justice and accountability for what they’ve been put through.
Michigan LB Ernest Hausmann was born in Uganda as one of 23 siblings. When his parents contracted AIDS, they were forced to put him up for adoption.
After nearly two decades of living nearly halfway around the world, Hausmann had the chance to travel back to Africa and reconnected with his mother ❤️

Powerful words from the Mayor of Minneapolis “And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.” Action, not talk. Absolutely heartbreaking.
You want to fix immigration? Then fix it. But don’t kick down doors wearing masks like it’s Baghdad. Don’t tear parents from kids while calling yourself pro-family. Don’t scream “law and order” while targeting people based on the color of their skin.
Immigrants aren’t the threat. The real danger is a system that’s broken, run by people more interested in using it to get elected than human lives.
What we need is reform. What we’re getting is fear and hate. And the party in power is too busy playing tough guy to care. This ain’t America. Or at least it ain’t supposed to be.
