“We gave a gun to a bunch of guys who watched a recruitment ad during a football game and signed up for a 47 day orientation. Please react very calmly when they’re shouting at you because they might get scared and start shooting off under pressure. They are saving our America.”

@PanderShirts Jane still does a good amount of high-quality regional theater. I was on crew for one of her shows at Williamstown years ago, and she is an absolute delight to work with (and a fantastic actor). Truly one of the kindest people I've known in the industry.

Christians are often sold the idea that nothing emerging from the secular sphere of film can help them engage meaningfully with questions of their own faith, but I’ve seen more than a few secularly produced films in recent years that wrestle with faith far more thoughtfully than any Angel Studios movie has.

When @dfriedman33 discovered a Goodreads page tied to the email of a top Pentagon official featuring books on “Asian wife sharing," he did what any reporter would do: ask the Pentagon questions.

The next day, a threatening email from Jack Posobiec arrived. https://t.co/5deXtQZBpB

The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. 

We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.

Some believe the omnipresent specter of gun death looming over our communities is a worthwhile trade-off for the opportunity for the average person to obtain and carry life-ending machines almost anywhere they go. I don’t. I don’t see it happening in my life, but the 2A must end.

[Jeff Wittekiend @JWittekiend]

I’d love to live in an America where no child has reason to fear their father might be shot dead by a stranger, much less in public and before their eyes. As long as gun rights are enshrined in both our Constitution and our culture, we cannot live in that world.

Powerful graphic: Chicago just saw its smallest summer murder total since 1965.

The city is on track to see one of its lowest murder totals in decades, a trend in play all year that continued through the city's most violent season. Murders are way, way down after a spike. Look:

@janecoaston And they turned it around so quickly after the Sweeney ad debuted! Truly stellar work by whichever agency produced it.

@StatisticUrban If we did, in fact, have 100M undocumented residents and deported even a significant fraction of them, we’d have enormous tax and labor problems on our hands.
