BREAKING: Britney Spears just told the world how bad her conservatorship really is bit.ly/2T3zCe2
“I have an IUD in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out,” Britney Spears said in a hearing on Wednesday. bit.ly/2T3zCe2
“After I’ve told the whole world I’m okay, it’s a lie,” Spears said. “I’m not happy, I can’t sleep, I’m depressed, I cry every day.” bit.ly/2T3zCe2
Spears said that she would like to be able to sue her family over the position they’ve left her in, and said that her lawyer, whom she did not choose for herself, never told her that she was able to petition to terminate the conservatorship. bit.ly/2T3zCe2
“He loved the control he had over me, one hundred thousand percent,” said Spears at the hearing, in reference to her father, who was reportedly not on the virtual call. bit.ly/2T3zCe2
“I shouldn’t be in a conservatorship if I’m working and am able to pay other people,” said Spears. bit.ly/2T3zCe2

NEW: VICE News spent a total of five days inside Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. This is what we saw. Thread: trib.al/3oEHGsY
It’s just past 5 a.m. on a Friday morning in Kabul and we’re smuggling ourselves out of Afghanistan’s capital city in the backseat of a beat-up car. trib.al/3oEHGsY
“Everything past this last checkpoint is Taliban territory,” our local contact said. From here on out, we were reliant on a small group of Taliban fighters on motorbikes to guide us on our tour. trib.al/3oEHGsY

Lt. Caron Nazario was driving home when two police officers pulled him over in Windsor, Virginia, whipped out their guns, and started barking orders. bit.ly/39WAPcD
“I’m serving this country, and this is how I’m treated?” Nazario told the officers, according to his cellphone video. bit.ly/39WAPcD
The cops went on to threaten Nazario, pepper-spray him in the face, and knee-strike him in the legs, according to footage. bit.ly/39WAPcD

NEW: What would it take to bankrupt the Proud Boys? This Black church is about to find out. bit.ly/3uuWQHh
Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio has refused to answer a lawsuit filed by Metropolitan AME Church. It accuses Tarrio and other members of committing acts of terror by destroying BLM signs in Washington, D.C. in December. bit.ly/3uuWQHh
By ignoring the lawsuit, the Proud Boys leader leaves the church days away from a likely default victory. A victory, experts say, that could give Metropolitan AME the power to blow the lid off the Proud Boys’ finances. bit.ly/3uuWQHh

Four sisters got off a plane from El Salvador recently—Genesis, Adriana, Amy, and Abigail Martínez—and hugged their father in Los Angeles for the first time in six years. bit.ly/2P8gEkv
The sisters arrived through the Central American Minors Program. Established in 2014, the Obama-era program allows certain children with a parent living legally in the U.S. to apply for asylum without making the dangerous journey across Mexico. bit.ly/2P8gEkv Image
The way these girls entered the U.S.—on a commercial flight, passing easily through Customs—is far from the reality of the 15,000 migrant children currently held in government custody, including over 5,000 in overcrowded border patrol holding cells. bit.ly/2P8gEkv

NEW: Mexican drug cartels have turned once-thriving Guadalajara into a war zone.

The discovery of dozens of grisly “extermination houses” and mass graves has set the city on edge. bit.ly/3eF7k2b
The rise of Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) over the past decade ties directly to the downward spiral of Guadalajara and the rest of the state into violent disorder. bit.ly/3eF7k2b
Even after the original Guadalajara Cartel fragmented around 1990, the city of Guadalajara remained a relatively safe haven for narcos to live and raise their families, and especially to launder money. bit.ly/3eF7k2b
