The Women's Professional Baseball League has announced team names and branding ahead of its inaugural season, which begins August 1. They are the Boston Hunters, the Los Angeles Queens, the New York Heights, and the San Francisco Firebells (elaboration on meaning/inspo in this thread).

C'mon people! Trump is a menace and unfit to govern. How much more evidence do we need?

I think it's cute that they let the men play first, like a warmup act, before the main tournament starts

sospx: no fair!! no fair!! sospx: we shouldn't have to listen to the pope to be catholic! sospx: that's not how it works! Pope Leo: eyyy who here's got da papal infallibility? sospx: [mumbles] Pope Leo: what's dat? speak up sospx: you Pope Leo: you're damn right it's me

#OtD 5 Jul 1934 in San Francisco was Bloody Thursday, when police killed two longshoreman strikers and a bystander and hospitalised 115 people. The strike was against casual hiring methods. Within 2 weeks the strike was general. More info here: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1052...

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

I'll be there along with several hundred of my sorority sisters.

we are all waiting for our Emotional Support Augustinian to finish his breakfast cappucino in the Vatican dining room and start spitting bars

Step 1: Brag that Trump was fixing something Obama screwed up Step 2: Pursue most corrupt solution possible Step 3: As a result, badly fuck up Step 4: Loudly squeal that someone else sabotaged you, so as to dodge blame Whether it's the reflecting pool or Iran, Trump's con is the same.

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

We dont always have to go back 100 years to talk about these. We can go back only a few. And the killer didnt die in 1931. or, he aint 97 years old from Jom Crow America. Dylann Roof is only 32. Charleston was 11 years ago today

Jung Hoo Lee, the hottest hitter in baseball, is hitless since his teammates decided to show their asses.

Through an innovative program, parents in Senegal had easy access to a therapeutic food that's a boon for malnourished kids. Now there are shortages. Health specialists say U.S. aid cuts are to blame. n.pr/4gjSVbf

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

All we have to do is LIFT THE FREAKING CAP! Of all the problems facing the US, fixing Social Security is the easiest. They just won't do it because rich people would have to pay a little more. There's ways to make it fair. How about for all income over $200K we pay 2% instead of nothing?

My Australian in-laws were very disappointed to learn we have no polling place barbies...

#OtD 9 Jun 1963 civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested in Mississippi on trumped up charges and brutally beaten in jail on the orders of police. She had previously been sterilised without consent, as were many other Black women stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1091...

Today's the day, California. Get your ballots to a drop box or polling station.

Obviously criminals deserve humane conditions but also ALMOST NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED VIOLENT CRIMES

Except most of them are not murderers, rapists, pedophiles etc, and if they were they would more properly be in a jail and shouldn't be in the same facility with law-abiding families and children. Second, by all accounts the conditions are far from sanitary.

Hmm, I read all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books as a kid and never asked why they just didn't buy some straw hats.

In a football stadium listening to Mr. Brightside but it's not Michigan. How weird is that? #CalGrad Congrats Andre Lapachet

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Trump can’t negotiate a better Iran deal than Obama did. — He's wasted billions on failure. This money could have been used for all the healthcare Republicans canceled. This is their pattern. Bush lied us in to a 6 trillion dollar war. When will Americans wake up?

En este Día de Dolores Huerta, exhortó a todas las personas en California a inspirarse en su ejemplo y trabajar para generar un impacto positivo en nuestra comunidad.

This is huge. Really, a game changer at population levels.

Happy Confederate Surrender day!

I think Francis handpicked Leo as his successor to do exactly what he's doing - to ensure MAGA Catholics do not know a moment's peace - and I think this Pentagon crash-out is proof that they know it will work. Trump got something like 58% of the Catholic base; Vance getting less would mortify him

...undertaken in every governing instituion we have. "In addition, high-level sources and many medical professionals say, the president is mentally ill." No one can write that or anything like it. We all have eyes to see, but our media can't dare speak to the reality. And so we endure as we do.
