The trams, roughly in order, whom I am rooting for. 1. Mighty England! For the Queen! 2. Proud Croatia! For the glory of Zagreb! 3. Scotland! Mighty Scotland! 5. O, Canada! They finally got a point! For the first time ever in a World Cup!

Fight on, yee Proud Scots! Live up to the power and glory of the Queen, and me, the man whom your country is named after!

ICE just keeps killing people. They are grabbing thousands of people on civil offenses, sending them to concentration camps, and killing them through extreme indifference and malice.

OH MY GOD IT'S GONE THEY JUST DROPPED THE TARP THE WHOLE KENNEDY CENTER HAS VANISHED

Live view from the Kennedy Center

Guillotines

I don’t know. Even cynics and morons tend to hold the Lincoln Memorial up as a sacred object in the American experience. Trump is pissing all of us off, but I also sense he’s pissing everyone else off too - which is never a given.

i really, truly, find this offensive

"They also filled the board wiht toadies, and they took all the money away in an act of spite."

Swinging trapeze fun vibes!

Has to be accompanied by losing a war at the frontier

lol we’re literally bombing two different countries during a world cup match

There was a cemetery so sexist it refused to allow any female internment. However, there was a vigorous movement to force the cemetery to allow burials of women. You can read about that movement in the Can't Her Bury Tales.

Algae is blooming in the Reflecting pool, elephant pissed all over Texas convention, Trump's name coming off Kennedy center, what a day for the Good Old Party.

For some odd reason, I am suddenly a fan of the Paraguayan men’s soccer team right now. How odd.

We have some amazing England World Cup merchandise in our Duty Free. #Official

This is textbook violation of fiduciary duty on behalf of the Board — it's deliberately sabotaging your own institution to make a political point. Every Board member who voted for this is breaking their oath.

Martin does great work, and I love this report, but I really dislike this "novel legal technicality" framing. The government has the burden of proof, and they didn't meet it because the speed cameras had a margin of error that put this guy outside the range for which he was charged. That's it.

hey so the prosecutorial misconduct is not limited to political prosecutions and is in fact a feature of the system and the people whose lives are most impacted are poor and never gonna be in the news (an insane thing to say given that the people making news have had their lives absolutely blown up)

This story is a little too pertinent to our modern times, with our current government gleefully sending immigrants off to random countries to suffer.

“You dismissed charges because of prosecutor misconduct a 2nd time?”

The biggest Epstein cover-up is our president raped children, and Congress is helping him cover it up.

On the car ride home from camp, Tom Waits’s Christmas card from a Hooker came on, and my daughter asked what the song was about, so I told her. youtu.be/mxVo5mjK4eg?...

I accidentally alled the Vice President DJ Vance, and I am never correcting myself.

Daniel Biss, who is the Dem nominee for IL-09 congressional district, dated his department's top student when he was a math professor at the University of Chicago, which she herself says ruined her relationship with academic math. It's a Dem-safe district -- and the story barely made the news.

He is insane and he was insane in 2016 and it was perfectly obvious he was insane then. But here we are anyway!

I’m a pretty cynical person, yet I never thought I’d live to see a post-Jim Crow American political party take the position that “racist pogroms are good actually.”

This is both horrifying and amazingly done. Yes, Markwayne, the loyalist gangs in Northern Ireland burning down immigrant’s homes are just looking to be Irish. Nailed it again.

well, this is nuts. is it a negotiating ploy? Will he change his mind tommorow? NO ONE KNOWS.

One of my favorite things in parenting is every night I tell my daughter super hero city stories to get her to fall asleep. It's a made up world of some historical figues, her heroes from her shows, unicorns, magic, the Queen of England in a hot air balloon, and so on.

everything must be good if he did it, because he's America's special boy.

Boththe current Iranian government and the US government speak the language of intenet trolls really well. All of these communications in English are meant for the US domestic audience, but I don't like how both government speak the same language of Troll.

Obviously the two most plausible explanations are that the president is nuts or a bullshitter, but I don’t think we can rule out decapitating the regime complicated figuring out who is in charge of what and negotiating for whom.

True! What are they going to do about it?

I genuinely never thought I would live through a period where the U.S. government was so erratic and unstable that even the basic fundamental communications over something as consequential as "are we in active combat or not" were impossible to parse as being entirely fabricated or not.

222 years later, the whites are still mad at Haiti for kicking their asses and destroying slavery in the process

James Dolan and Donald Trump are both the ultimate epitome of the modern GOP, which is, above all else, the party of the boss' son.

If you hate that court packing has, in just a couple of years, gone from unserious fringe idea to the mainstream Democratic position and something they’re very likely to do, the target of your ire should be the Roberts six. They have brought it on themselves. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

“Police had to help one family escape from a burning house. Several cars & a bus were set on ​fire and reduced to shells. Local politicians & a pastor said many of those who were targeted were Black… "Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice”

Today, like every day. Take care of each other.

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

The response is “Farage and reform are two-bit populists with dangerous solutions to made up problems and I refuse to treat their nonsense as deserving any kind of serious response”. There you are, Labour, you can have that one for free.

The Far Right riot in Belfast last night was nothing less than “a race-based pogrom”, Belfast MP and leader of the SDLP Claire Hanna said. The mob hunted down non-whites and set fire to their homes. Carl Whyte, a local councillor, called it “a hard Far Right element”.

These transcripts are a disgrace. We can’t trust *anything* done by federal prosecutors in Chicago.

So obviously we're straining the definition of ceasefire here but also this kind of on-and-off shooting isn't so uncommon for ceasefires in the region and isn't necessarily inconsistent with continued deescalation. What it does mean is the strait will not be open, like, tomorrow.

Local perspective from an Iraqi who posts on here in a sea of mostly American and European takes. Don't forget that for people near the fighting war isn’t just a game, a sport, a political mistake that will cost their party in the midterm elections. It’s something that can upend their lives

#BREAKING Transcripts from grand jury proceedings that led to the "Broadview Six" indictment have been made public. Here is the first, from Oct. 9: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

"The Supreme Court could have said that Trump’s order is unconstitutional over a year ago. Girls and their babies are missing because it didn’t."
