Put Down The Duckie never fails to make me smile.

Happy Birthday John Candy. You are so missed.

By far the most disturbing ICE video I’ve seen from Evanston, IL today.

An ICE agent points his gun at unarmed citizens. Twice.

Then, he goes around the SUV, drops to his knees, and presses his full weight onto a man’s back. Moments later, that same man’s head is beaten into the pavement while the agent holds his head down.

When they finally pull him up, his face is swollen and dazed… clearly concussed… and then they slam his head into the SUV and pin it there with their shoulder.

You can’t watch this and call it law enforcement. This is excessive force and criminal assault.

The town hall crowd peppers Rep. Rich McCormick with boos and catcalls as he struggles to answer a pointed question from a resident who says she’s a descendant of Patrick Henry who pressed him on whether Trump was moving toward “tyranny.” #gapol

It’s hilarious how conservatives are terrified of crime on the NYC subway when this is a much more accurate depiction of what it’s like

Mary Gaffney was a sound doula. As a pioneering engineer, nature recordist, mentor, and emissary of resonance, much of her work happened outside the tape. This lovely tribute by @edester, @chicagoan, and Syd Lewis reminds us to sing loud for the unsung. https://t.co/NQkjgHpk4W

Student journalists getting their due on a harrowing story ...

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

This was the front page of UNC-Chapel Hill's Daily Tar Heel.

No student, no parent, and no American should have to send texts like these to their loved ones as they hide from a shooter.

I'll continue to do all I can to reduce gun violence and call on Congress to do the same.
