14 h. ago Heated Rivalry: this queer Canadian hockey romp is so hot it threatens to scorch the ice it skates on

A federal enforcement operation ended with a woman dead and the facts contested. The NBA cannot treat state violence in a residential neighborhood as background noiseThe SUV sat motionless against a tree on a south Minneapolis street, its engine quiet, angled as if it had simply run out of gas. Except the windshield bore a small shattered star, delicate and sharp, like a snowflake pressed into glass. Cold Minnesota air leaked through the fracture, settling over the still body inside. The car became a sealed room, a thin shell holding death in place, surrounded by the stuffed animals of the woman’s children.In the street, witnesses screamed. Not in words, but in sounds that come before language, as reality breaks faster than thought. Continue reading...
