One person died in Saturday's mass shooting in Brownsville. This is how @nytimes described him. "The man who was killed, Jason Pagan, was released on parole in January after serving about two years in prison. The police believe he was a Bloods gang member."nyti.ms/2K8fWNL
@nytimes This is @NYDailyNews. nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-c…
@nytimes @NYDailyNews This is @nypost. nypost.com/2019/07/29/man…
@nytimes @NYDailyNews @nypost Here's a link to @NYPDONeill's statement about Jason Pagan, the victim of the shooting. Oh and for good measure he says others who were injured in the shooting were gang-affiliated.
@nytimes @NYDailyNews @nypost @NYPDONeill Jason Pagan was killed at a festival held annually in Brownsville, just like the one in Gilroy. Thousands of people were enjoying a lovely summer evening. One person was killed, 11 injured, one critically. Yet there are no stories about the victims, their families. No photos.
@nytimes @NYDailyNews @nypost @NYPDONeill By contrast, here's a story on the victims of Gilroy's mass shooting, with photos.
@nytimes @NYDailyNews @nypost @NYPDONeill And here's how @USATODAY described the Gilroy mass shooter (as excerpted in @GreenvilleNews). "The 19-year-old who police say turned an assault weapon on festival-goers was known as a quiet teen who stayed out of trouble." Note use of school photo.

First, the accusation was not that Kamala Harris committed a crime.

But if she had committed prosecutorial misconduct to the level that it rose to a crime she almost certainly wouldn't have been charged let alone jailed because that NEVER happens in this country. Read up on it.
And I am NO Tulsi Gabbard supporter. Far from it.
I actually would PREFER Kamala Harris to be the candidate over Tulsi Gabbard.

This idea that anyone who criticizes Kamala Harris is a Russian bot or plant or working for MAGA is RIDICULOUS.

The questions asked of Senator Harris last night were more than reasonable and should have been asked by the moderators.
People have every right to question Tulsi Gabbard about her own record, but this does not make the points she made about Kamala Harris inaccurate or unfair.

Why are people attacking the messenger rather than addressing the criticisms?
There are definitely people who criticize Kamala Harris who have beyond problematic agendas - racists, ADOS etc.

But to to de-legitimize completely fair criticisms of her record by suggesting that they all come from those places, wow.

You all remember when Ronald Reagan launched his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where the three civil rights workers, Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner, were murdered and proclaimed, "I believe in states' rights." What do you think that meant?
Or when he talked about food stamps and spoke about a "young buck" buying a t-bone steak, a term used by certain White people in the South to denote a Black man and part of the racist mythology used to justify lynching.
I am glad these tapes came out to remind people of this history, which got blurred in the last two years. To have Delaney cite Reagan in the debate last night should be a reality check. Warren & Sanders are not far left candidates. The party has just shifted so far to the right.

Looks like arson.
Someone spread a gasoline-like fluid around the building.
You can see smoke coming out of the windows in that footage.

One of the things that drew me to Dwarf Fortress is how it comes with a "legends mode" where you let the world generator run on its own and read through the lore it generates. I gave it a spin this afternoon and surprising no one, it's EXTREMELY my jam.
DF generates a ton of world information and I wasn't sure where to start. The first thing to pique my interest was that one of the elf civilizations, called The Short Luxuries, was way more warlike than the others. Then I noticed something ~interesting about its leadership.
So I dug in. The Short Luxuries is a matrilineal monarchy in which queens/princesses rule alongside a druid who is elected from the people. The first druid was a male elf named Fela. Fela was discerning and EXTREMELY charismatic, a great conversationalist and negotiator.

It seems an independent auditor came to Abu Salim today looking into UN activities. The guards told detainees in advance not to mention that they haven't been fed for months (some of their families are sending them money to buy food with instead, which guards take a cut from).
Messages today from Qasr bin Ghashir dc, southern Tripoli, today, where they’re asking for evacuation & any organisation that can help them.
Sorry for my confusion, the teenager above was being held in Qasr bin Ghashir, but has now been moved to the UNHCR facility in Tripoli for evacuation. He's asking for help for those he left behind.
