IT’S HAPPENING! Floridians are painting rainbows around potholes 🌈 It makes rainbows proliferate. 🌈 It increases safety; dangerous spots are more visible. 🌈 And it exposes the absurdity of DeSantis ordering rainbows scrubbed away instead of fixing hazards that put drivers at risk. #RainbowRoad

The picture shows a road surface repair request for a pothole, and the pothole is surrounded by a chalked rainbow

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s defense team says that the government is attempting to coerce him to plead guilty to his criminal charges. Per filing, the government promised to deport him to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty — and is now threatening to remove him to Uganda if he doesn’t accept the deal.

The only thing that happened between Thursday-Costa Rica-and Friday-Uganda- was Mr. Abrego's exercise of his legal entitlement to release under the Bail Reform Act and the Fifth Amendment. See United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 755 (1987). Indeed, the government has done more than just offer these two options in isolation. On Friday evening, the government informed Mr. Abrego that he has until first thing Monday morning precisely when he must report to ICE's Baltimore Field Office-to accept a plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica, or else that offer will be off the table forever. There can be only one interpretation of these events: the DOJ, DHS, and ICE are using their collective powers to force Mr. Abrego to choose between a guilty plea followed by relative safety, or rendition to Uganda, where his safety and liberty would be under threat. Mr. Abrego has previously explained that this case was part of a larger strategy to retaliate caninet him for cholloncina lic /11oacl donnection to D1 Golundo (CooNi+

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
