Drove all day. Arrived to see video of the man in Buffalo. How many more do we need to see? How many cities or towns? How many black people murdered on camera? I can't quite remember when I abandoned the mindset of "reform." But there's no reforming this kind of routine violence.


I usually avoid social media, but enough is enough. To the extent I have a voice here, I'm adding mine to the many who say #BlackLivesMatter and demand change. What we've seen from police and their enablers is abhorrent, and we all must challenge it, along with racism everywhere

G/O Media has fired Deadspin's longest-serving full-time employee, who wrote nearly 20,000 posts for the site over ten years.

This post is unavailable.

Just returned to this article from last week, and the lack of accountability here is worth spending time with theintercept.com/2019/10/10/jus…

President Trump: “We were the ones that got ISIS. We're the ones that took care of it, specifically me.” Over 10,000 SDF fighters died in the fight against ISIS, painstakingly clearing town after town. The US-led coalition backed them, but the SDF did the bulk of the fighting.


(Doing a personal news tweet) Today is my last day @CNNPolitics before I get ready to leave DC and start @nyulaw I don't have enough room here to detail all the great experiences I've had or thank everyone I need to, but it's been a wild ride, and I'm excited for what's next

Hundreds of firemen of the Paris Fire Brigade are doing everything they can to bring the terrible #NotreDame fire under control. All means are being used, except for water-bombing aircrafts which, if used, could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral.
