- just to be clear I am looking for a handout and I want the government to hand out $2,000 a month retroactive to march
- Somebody turned the camera off but Al Jazeera just broadcast images of people with their hands up on board the Madleen.
- I don’t think it’s wild that the republicans and Blue Lives Matter people don’t care that a cop died. I do think it’s interesting that the police, who are capable of making a news story out of drinking a funny tasting milkshake, have been relatively quiet.
- going to be very funny when everybody gears up for a summer of hedonism and finds that after a grinding year all they want is care and intimacy and falls in love by like June 2nd
- Anne Frank died of typhus. Who is responsible for her death?We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition.

- America is deeply invested in the idea that hurting someone’s family licenses them (especially mom/dad/spouse) to do anything to protect them. We pump out movies, shows, and books about it. And now that masked men are tearing families apart people want to talk about Waymo Rights.
- At some point the simplest answer is that elected officials in big cities are afraid of the police.
- set the whole country on fire, get one cop convicted
- Not since the summer of 2020 has everything been so obvious and the sides so clear.
- The police all across the country are going to attack people in the streets today because a few of their own suffered the indignity of being investigated after they killed someone. In the morning, mayors will chastise the protesters and say these issues are tough.
- Nobody in Columbia’s administration should know peace in public. Nobody who does this to their students should be in education. These people are monsters who have cast their lot with genocide.
