A year ago today, @gmgronowski & I found ourselves houseless along with hundreds of residents at Arrive Silver Spring after a horrific & PREVENTABLE fire ravaged the building on Feb. 18, taking the life of our neighbor Melanie Diaz and her two dogs. 🧵/1

A good editorial on the consequences for our republic of the exchange I had with Sec. Mullin this week about the refusal of DHS to comply with court orders. https://t.co/gYl0l4zZrx

As wars rage in the Middle East and Europe, Iranian drones are reshaping modern warfare — and some of the most important lessons about how to defeat them are coming from Ukraine. Luke Zahner and I for Stars and Stripes.

Baltimore Giants and LA Ravens

[Nic Mason @British_Raven19]

Isaiah Likely's last catch as a Raven was unreal, and a fitting way to say goodbye to a fanbase that would have preferred to keep him.

Ultimately, he joints the Giants where he'll get a do-over with the very person who played a huge role in his misuse in Baltimore!

Holy shit.

In 2024, Trump won nearly 58% of the vote in Starr County, TX.

On Tuesday, 96% of votes cast for #TXSEN in Starr County were in the Democratic Primary.

🔵 total votes: 6,698
🔴 total votes: 249

(Yes, you read that right.)

Inside this latest Trump-Mamdani meeting:
-Last time the two met, Trump asked him to return with ideas to build big things. Mamdani came back with a massive housing proposal
-Mamdani's team created mock headlines to show Trump how such a project would be received. He was "very enthusiastic."
-Mamdani pushed for release of Columbia student detained today, Trump calls him later to tell him she's being released
-Mamdani gives Susie Wiles a list of four other students he wants help with, all targeted in pro-Palestinian protests https://t.co/hZMBq5X6FX

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

[Aasma Shaukat MD MPH @AasmaShaukatMD]

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢

Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

No, it's not Cuba, nor Venezuela, nor North Korea,Iran, countries where, according to Western media, human rights violations occur daily.

This is in Arkansas, in the United States, where three police officers beat a defenseless citizen in this way.

Statement by Becca Good.
Read it @JDVance—and burn in hell.

“First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.

This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.

Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.

Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.

Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles.

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy. And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever.

We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine.

On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.

Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.

We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee’s legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”

As Superintendent Steven Johnson explains, breaking up the Department of Education will interrupt funding and services, wreaking havoc on student outcomes - especially for rural students.

Love him with all my heart

[RAMEY @HoodieRamey]

He missed that shit, nothing will change that but the fact he addressed the media as a rookie considering many vets have chosen not to do that in the past speaks volumes to me.

[Jack Andrade @RealJackAndrade]

Lamar Jackson & Zay Flowers are the first QB-receiver duo in @NFL history to connect on 2 go-ahead 4th quarter pass TD of 50+ yards in a single game

[Mishka Espey @mxespey]

ah yes, huge fan of ravens quarterback Derrick Henry

[Ryan Mink @ryanmink]

I won’t forget this @Browns! 💜🤎

derrick henry against the packers defense

[𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙚 @Hamilton_DPOY]

I kid you not, if the ravens trade Lamar, and decide to keep Harbaugh, this fanbase will revolt like we haven’t seen before.

Guarantee there will be riots if they trade him.

[Kevin 🐦‍⬛ @MDRavens1]

Trying to run a future Hall of Fame quarterback out of town sure is a choice. You guys suck!!!!!
