the thing about satyagraha is that Gandhi being murdered himself doesn't constitute failure--the point of nonviolent resistance isn't that it's more safe, it's that it dramatizes the violence of the state and highlights its illegitimacy via contrast, and it mobilizes public outrage against injustice

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Moved beyond words by the courage and resolve shown by the people of Minneapolis

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

You gotta get off TikTok, friends.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

The Georgia quarterback generator is humming along nicely.

channel 2 leaning into it this morning

I’m watching friends succumb to doom watching what’s happening in Minnesota and I want to shake them and scream “Can’t you see the people organizing? Can’t you see them winning?”. Doom is a warm blanket of helplessness that keeps you from the fight.

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

it is also true that you do not owe blind loyalty to your forebears. mine supported the confederacy, and they were wrong! it’s ok to say that

Learning US history didn't make me hate white people. It made me hate racists. I feel like if you've got some sort of personal shame, you haven't fully committed to destroying white supremacy.

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

the disrespect from @splitzoneduo.com at our 2010 team smdh

umass should simply not play football

Three percent of Indiana’s all time wins in football came this season (16/529)

at least auburn fired hugh freeze before indiana won a national championship in football

if indiana can win the national championship in gridiron american football, what excuse does john cohen have for still having his head up his ass

i miss the crystal football

this turned out to be a load-bearing post about the college football season

i never felt bad about it because fuck hugh freeze but if i did feel bad about losing to mendoza and cal last year i no longer do

go dawgs

God willing the Hoosiers just closed the portal to hell that the Chicago Cubs opened in 2016.

NOW you decide to call personal fouls?

well that should’ve been late hit

Most dawg in him of anybody on LinkedIn, that's for sure

Sometimes you can see in real time that you are watching the most important player in the history of a sports organization

can fernando win the heisman again

holy. hell. indiana.

^^ me realizing there really is no losing here for the disinterested third party viewer especially if they live around a bunch of Georgia fans

el em ay oh

the ad for riyadh wwe is fucking bleak

when did popeyes decide it was ok to have an off key jingle and how do we get them to stop

wow i was unaware south florida had great high school football until herbstreit mentioned it just now — thanks kirk!

Courtesy of a JMU booster friend, we now have some insight into how Curt Cignetti approaches beer.

what is up with these sound issues they keep having

cannot wait to never see these ads again

it may be a majority indiana crowd, but counterpoint: there are more miami fans tonight than have ever been in that stadium

that gum wad

The plushed blue dinner jacket with the rayon nehru collar says one thing and that’s “ladies you should cover your drinks”

no SEC teams in the title game, but on the plus side this exists

with like two exceptions I feel fine about this just because noted chucklefuck hugh freeze thought a player was both good and a good fit for auburn doesn’t mean he was

ok i’m fascinated by everyone adopting this talking point of indiana having the largest alumni base in the country. the iu press release says it counts all nine campuses, but if that’s the case, surely the universities of california and texas etc which are also multi campus are way larger

They fucking did this shit after W and Trump 1, how did it fucking go, I forget

one thing that gives me hope in the “sec is cooked” discourse is that i think golesh has a chance to pull us out of our slump at the same time the rest of the league is also trying to catch up, in ways that durkin and certainly freeze did not

2011 - In the desert of Glendale, Arizona, Wes Byrum's 19-yard field goal lifted #1 Auburn over #2 Oregon 22-19 to claim the Tigers' second national championship, the first since 1957. #WarEagle
