Lotta questions over the last 24 hours re: why I, or anyone, would like MMA @Slate and I are way ahead of you. Here's why I love the global, egalitarian, feminist sport of MMA and why I'm so angry about what Trump and Dana White have done to it

There are places in this country that serve as tactial testing grounds, places where you can see the future before it arrives. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before Today, men without badges detained a woman for speaking during a town hall

This is deeply concerning. It appears that this woman was sitting PEACEFULLY, and had exercised her first amendment rights when people without badges forcibly removed her. The below tweet is spin after she was assaulted by three men. Watch the TikTok.

I saw Tim Walz at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was

Yes, this is Tim Walz tweeting about his dog Scout. Only problem is that these are two completely different dogs.
Readers added context
The dog is the second photo is one Tim Walz met while taking Scout (from the first photo) to the dog park. Fuller video from that moment available on Tim Walz's Instagram: instagram.com/timwalz/reel/C…
