This story is outstanding. Credit to @scottcwheeler.bsky.social for taking us inside an emergency where everyone got their part of the response exactly right. So glad Joe Gramer is doing well. So glad someone like Tom Orr was there that day. Competence saves lives. www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

As per usual, the ortho institutions choose Trumpism.

BREAKING: 70 years after his wrongful execution, Tommy Lee Walker is declared innocent. “The court’s declaration today provides some semblance of belated justice to Mr. Walker’s legacy, and to his son, our client Edward Smith,” said Chris Fabricant. https://bit.ly/3LVoOKA

"you finish up the team's logo?" "yup made the bear real cool and fuckable like you asked" "what?"

lol

listen, I am usually team "professionalization and training reduce civilian harm" but that rests upon the assumption that the people being trained and professionalized joined to *protect* civilians. And I am not convinced that holds for this new generation of ICE recruits.

They could send forty Democratic senators to Denmark to condemn Trump's betrayal and pledge to fight it.It would at least send a message to our treaty allies.

"And so, I think America, and the Western Hemisphere, are vital to America" is just "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps..." all over again

I'm gonna ackshually this, because ackshually in the last century the US has defended dozens of countries from foreign aggression (both passively and actively), and within living memory it's a huge change that the US is trying to steal land unprovoked and blow up our closest alliance.

I guess the couch wasn’t a pull out after all?

One problem Democrats face is that the job of chief electoral strategist (Schumer) is increasingly incompatible with being party leader (also Schumer).
