all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.
Witnesses described seeing one person being shot in the head.
ICE kills again, this time in Maine.
Immigrant advocates call for transparent investigation
The Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition and Presente! Maine called for state and federal authorities to conduct a "prompt, independent, and transparent investigation" of each agency and officer involved in the shooting.
"ICE must not be allowed to investigate itself or control the public narrative surrounding a death in which its personnel or operations were involved," the advocacy groups said in a news release Monday afternoon. "We also call on our elected officials to invest in a fair, functional, and humane immigration system, not further expansion of immigration enforcement, and to strengthen protections that prevent local resources from being diverted toward federal immigration enforcement."
Immigrant organizations identify man who died as immigrant from Colombia
The Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition and Presente! Maine said the person who died in the shooting is a 26-year-old Colombian man.
Presente! said the man was authorized to work in the U.S. and had been issued a Social Security number.
"He was a member of our community, a neighbor, and a human being whose life was cut tragically short. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and everyone now grieving this unimaginable loss," the organizations said in a statement.
The organization said the shooting was not reported through MIRC's Immigrant Defense hotline, but other ICE activity in the area had been.
“Our communities are hurting…” Mufalo Chitam, MIRC's executive director, said. “Today, a 26-year-old member of our community is dead following an incident involving ICE. We are grieving, we are furious, and we will not allow his death to be treated as routine or inevitable. How much more harm must our communities endure before those with the power to act acknowledge that this has gone too far?”https://www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/shooting-reported-in-biddeford-2/?link-source=announcement-bar
many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think
the palestinian children gathered around that single tv watching egypt earlier cheering so happily when they scored...i feel sick. it was everything for egypt to dedicate their win to palestine
The first photo is from 1956. It shows a Black woman watching members of the Ku Klux Klan (a terrorist, racist, far-right organization focused on white supremacy) walking along a sidewalk in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). I couldn't find the photo's author, but most sources state that it was taken in 1956.
The second photo shows members of the Patriot Front group (a white supremacist and nationalist group, formed in 2017, that openly advocates what they call "American Fascism") traveling on the subway during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence in Washington D.C., while a Black woman watches them. The photo is by photographer Cheney Orr, taken on July 4, 2026, 70 years after the first photo.
Years before the covid pandemic began, author Naomi Kritzer wrote the charming, emotionally genuine short story "So Much Cooking," which was a pandemic log through the eyes of a cooking blog. The premise is that the author is a home cooking blogger raising her kids, and then a pandemic hits--and bit by bit she's feeding not only her own, but her sister's kids, some neighbors' kids, and so on, in a situation of pandemic lockdown and food shortages.
It's very good, and was prescient for a lot of the early days of the covid pandemic. I found myself returning to it often in the first couple of years because of how steadfast it was in its hopefulness.
Last year she wrote a novelette, "The Year Without Sunshine," which attacks a similar problem in a similar way; instead of pandemic, this one is about the aftereffects of a distant nuke or a massive volcano explosion (it doesn't say), which has churned a great deal of dust into the air, causing massive damage to society and agriculture. The story covers one neighborhood, pulling together to keep each other alive--not through violence, but through lawn potatoes and message pinboards and bicycle-powered oxygen concentrators.
I recommend both stories. They're uplifting in a way that a lot of what I see lately isn't. They're a bit of a panacea for constant fearmongering about intracommunity violence and grinding hatefulness. We can be good to each other, if we try.
all sports should be co ed, they should just be divided by height instead. every single man/woman delineation in sports should instead become height-based. this will solve every problem in our society
also american football should be either turned into flag football or banned altogether. on account of the concussions. when you say that, people think of professional teams, but youth football has the majority of players and also the majority of injuries. why are we giving children concussions?
