GOLD!!!!!!!

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS ALYSA LIU YOU ARE THAT GIRL

Perfect analogy. No notes.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Elana Meyers Taylor is an Olympic gold medalist at last. The 41-year-old American bobsledder, winner of five previous Olympic medals across the last four Games but never gold, topped the field Monday in the monobob for her first ever Olympic title.

Shaidorov deserved this win, and I'm ecstatic for him! That said, this was probably the worst free skate I've seen at any event in maybe a decade. Not one skate over 200? In 2026? #Olympics

Team USA’s Jordan Stolz wins the Olympic gold medal in speedskating and sets a new Olympic record. Stolz, the world-record holder in the event, had been saving the exact blades he broke the record in to wear again in Milan.

NOOOOOOOOO

I would like Pam Bondi to be so afraid of spending her golden years in prison come 2029 that she ends up fleeing to Russia.

ILIA MALININ...I was literally dazzled. I have no idea what else to even say.

The winter olympic athletes bring far more dramatic theater kid energy to their disciplines and competitions than the summer ones do, and I am seated for all of it.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

People seem to believe that the best place to start a negotiation is by asking for as little as possible. I think this might be part of what got us here.

Riley Gaines continues to look like she just shit her pants in every screenshot, regardless of setting.

I'm not sure why, after *waves at all other news this month*, but this has absolutely broken me today. I can't believe it.

Everytime Meghan McCain talks or posts:

There is no hater energy like Midwest hater energy.

What a strange setting for a NarcAnon meeting

OF COURSE you are, Noem. You were always going to be at some point. Everyone gets that treatment from him eventually. You were just too stupid to realize you were never going to be smart or special enough to avoid it.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...

"Calm down, Bari Weiss. CBS is too big to fail." Lolololol

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

Our country was founded on independence — aspirational and clumsily attempted as it was — and has been sullied by this sort of servile, vapid Dick Wolfish law enforcement worship.

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

shout out to all the people who concern trolled me saying "they didn't need to whip the vote to oppose the bill because it won't change ICE funding Schumer and Jeffries know" I am sorry we have armed gangs of masked men executing people in the streets SHUT IT ALL THE FUCK DOWN. EVERYTHING. NOW.

roses are red deserts have drought

the thing you have to understand is that scotus may let him get away with actual murder but they will NOT abide him fucking with rich people’s money. one cannot be bribed by the broke.

Not an IU fan, but very happy for them. Hoosiers earned and deserve this!
