officers are fundraising for Salvador Sanchez, the off-duty officer who shot and killed a developmentally disabled man and wounded two others in a Costco supermarket. Sanchez has been charged with manslaughter and assault. The man’s family was awarded $17m by civil jury
I, DeAnne Smith, highly, fully, and desperately recommend this show to literally everyone at #edfringe right now! Please attend in my stead, as I am trapped in North America
Hey @DeAnne_Smith, keen to know whether or not you think people at #edfringe should come to @BarrelComedy (tonight and tomorrow) and watch this show with @thejohnhastings and I? We trust your judgement implicitly.
White adults are more than twice as likely as Black and Latino households to get sizable financial help from parents or elders, a new joint NPR poll finds. That has profound intergenerational effects.

sometimes when i’m mad, i just do math & compare it to police budgets. ~600,000 homeless people in america. if we gave everyone person $30,000 for housing, it would be $18B & that’s 1/2 of Biden’s extra 100K police plan ($37B).
The second joke last night at The Chicago Theatre. It was so good, I laughed so hard, I forgot the first joke.
What a great night. Hours of laughs.

Hannah Gadsby on comics like Chappelle and Gervais: "They would never admit to this. But they’re towing a fairly popular idea on gender. Transphobia is the status quo. They think they’re being controversial, but in reality, they’re being very versial."
If you took the word non-binary out of this it's 100% what was said when I did anti-homophobia ed. in schools in 94.Who cares if people change their minds. I've been straight, bi, lesbian, queer, people change! Wanting to fuck the same way for 40 yrs isn't something to brag about
Daughter tells me her class has been discussing LGBT issues. One friend has since defined as “non-binary”; another has since declared she is bisexual and has “known it for ages”. The first is 12 years old; the second is 11. Genuinely wonder what is happening in our schools.
will be joining the #BodyOfWork tour this July as my support act…starting Friday in Toronto…because everyone needs a friend who is just themselves from further away…Eh?
Update: At least six people are dead and dozens injured following shooting in Highland Park, Ill., according to a tweeted police statement.
Lake County Sheriff's officials described the suspected shooter as a white male between 18 to 20 years old.
