BAN THE PERVERT GLASSES

Farm workers at Windmill Farms in Sunnyside, WA elected to have the UFW represent them in 2022. They've been fighting for union recognition ever since. Show the workers they’re not alone. Sign the pledge to support their campaign. act.seiu.org/a/windmillpl... #BoycottWindmillMushrooms

May 13, 1976: Denver rookie David Thompson scores 42 PTS (16-23 FG/10-12 FT) in Game 6 of the ABA Finals. Thompson's Nuggets lost at New York, 112-106, as Julius Erving's 31 PTS/19 REB/5 STL/4 BLK led the Nets to the ABA title—the last ABA championship before the NBA/ABA merger.

Never forget 5/13/1985

I'm not sure how much the rest of America knows or understands about the MOVE bombing in Philly, but it was probably the single worst instance of police brutality in American history. I think of it every 5/13 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MO...

Congrats again to the Oracle of Summers & company, who seem to be totally missing from the National Conversation™️ now that Joe Biden is not in the White House & the actual things are actually happening

<grabs the mic> Right wingers loved that they could blame declining test scores on the "closing the schools during pandemic" culture war to cover for their targeted decades long campaign to defund public schools and the media took the ball and ran with it and lots of Ds followed along

Leafs fans 2024: The Leafs are too coddled, they need a demanding manager. Leafs fans 2026: Ah well, nevertheless...

May 13, 1985. Osage Ave in #Philly. Bomb dropped on people by the state. #MOVEbombing

I understand that people wanna support Mamdani. But he didn’t make good on his promised library budget. And those organizing to rightfully hold him accountable deserve to do so and all benefit from their efforts. Like Mamdani said, “Politics is not something you have, it’s something that you do.”

very historic first all-canadian or first canadian-vs-french-canadian cup final depending on who you ask, let's gooo

This is it right here. This vote tells you all you need to know. Centrists are Republicans and the DNC is all about the centrists. We ain't getting Woke 2 until everyone who voted yes on this is thrown out of office and starting their new podcast. Simple as

RIP to former NBA player Jason Collins, the first openly Gay, active, male pro athlete. Hard to explain what a big deal it was in 2014 when Collins signed with the Nets. He took number 98 in tribute to Matthew Shepard, the Gay teen murdered in a horrific hate crime. JC was brave and will be missed.

POUR LA PREMIÈRE FOIS DE SON HISTOIRE, LA VICTOIRE S’EN VA EN FINALE DE LA COUPE WALTER‼️

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THE VICTOIRE ARE HEADED TO THE WALTER CUP FINALS‼️

TAGE THOMPSON SCORES A WILD ONE 😱😱😱 This game is tied! #StanleyCup 🇺🇸: /espn 🇨🇦: /Sportsnet & /TVASports

this is an extreme example but Wemby really is already one of the greatest defensive players we’ve ever seen

reminder: Bismack Biyombo, last Bobcat standing, is on the Spurs’ playoff roster RIGHT NOW

his article about having cancer was also an astonishing piece of writing

A crew in Mettler CA de-leafs a first year grape vineyard. While most first year grape plants do not yield market quality fruit, getting rid of unwanted growth helped the plant develop faster and stronger for future years. #WeFeedYou

I saw a tourist teen on the train wearing a t-shirt that had some nonsense English on it in a vaguely streetwear-adjacent format, but the top bit of that text read DALE DAVIS PRESENTS. And I think that'd be a good idea for an anthology series. Maybe Dale introduces each episode from his study?

May 12, 1982: Philadelphia's Julius Erving with a steal and "that famous 'J' dunk" during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Boston. Dr. J had 20 PTS and Andrew Toney scored 30 PTS (13-22 FG) in the 76ers' 121-113 win. Tiny Archibald had 24 PTS/13 AST for the Celtics.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

ECW HARDCORE REVOLUTION

NYU Langone has a moral and legal obligation to stand up to this power grab and hold the line to protect their patients.

Seeing so many people get activated in response to the spectacles of violence from BP/ICE agents was heartening and good. The administration pivoting to a more traditional approach with less sympathy seen towards the communities they traditionally target was always the risk though.

I reject austerity. There's enough for all of us. I reject the "commonsense" scarcity bullshit espoused sometimes even by people who call themselves Leftists. There's enough for every single person to live in dignity.

Our survivor-centered hearing in Palm Beach is underway. If law enforcement had done their job from the beginning and delivered accountability to survivors, we wouldn't be here today. Tune in now on @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social.

"Smith took various classes but enjoyed learning about the history of Africa and how the past tied to today. There was sports history and other projects Smith became enamored with, making him wish he’d learned the information while he was still playing in the NBA." Go J.R.! 🗃

Alex Ovechkin writes a 145-page dissertation on hockey training methods, and will go for a PhD in Pedagogical Sciences after his career is over.

As we attempted to meet with detainees, ICE personnel handed us a memorandum dated today from Todd Lyons, the acting ICE Director. The new policy is designed to make it more difficult for Members of Congress to conduct oversight with transparency.

"Maria" works in Arvin CA area. "The work I'm doing in the grapes is hard because we have to do three jobs at the same time. We earn minimum wage. I have to push herself to the limit to support my family." #WeFeedYou

I'm gonna become a RETVRN guy for 70's sports uniforms. (Are we still doing RETVRN guy jokes?)

If we're talking about all-time whackiest #Baseball uniforms, I would like to introduce the 1980 Tucson Toros.

The unwillingness of the media to call shit racist and to scold those who point out racist shit has led us to moments like these. All your favorite newspapers and magazines had a lot to do with why people are comfortable talking like this now knowing nothing will happen to their political careers

One month to the start of the 2026 MAGA World Cup… and the two most populous countries in the world do not have a broadcast deal with FIFA… uncharacteristic amateurism by money-hungry FIFA.

Black people have been the Democratic party's most loyal constituency for the past 60 years. Does it appear that the party is acting as though it is experiencing an existential crisis?

“I want to be on the social media platform with the highest level of literacy and thoughtful engagement.”

ah, the irony of preaching pan-africanism while 10–14 african nations still pay a colonial tax to france via the CFA franc agreement, a currency born under colonial rule and kept long after independence

Today was supposed to be the trial date for my arrest last September at 26 Federal Plaza. My trial was postponed until early June, so I used the time for another court-watching shift. We must continue to fight back together against ICE’s lawless abductions.

Pete Davidson roasting Shane Gillis by saying he "looks like he got CTE playing Fantasy Football" is going to live in my head for some time.

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.”

Black church on Mother's Day? Oh, mama is running.

the iran war is a really fascinating lesson in global supply chains did you know a key component of (insert thing here) travels through the strait of hormuz? now you do!

May 11, 1982: George Gervin's iconic baseline finger roll during Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals (which was waved off because of a foul on Michael Cooper before the shot). The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 110-101, to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
