I’m torn on this match tonight. Part of me wants to see Messi go out with one more championship, part of me wants to watch the ultimate underdog in Cape Verde win this one. 0-0 coming up on 30 mins in has to be giving them some hope though. #WorldCup #ARGvCPV

I’ve been coaching youth sports at the HS and club level for nearly 20 years. I’ve done officiating as well, but not nearly as much. Parents are absolutely the worst part about it. Ask most former coaches and refs why they stopped and that’s what it comes down to the majority of the time.

This insightful thread made me reflect on how I, a Gen Xer, was socialized to think about the political agency of ordinary citizens...and how those historical "lessons" that I'd imbibed, drawn from the history of the 1960s and 70s, just don't ring so true to today's young adults.

A long long time ago everything was very densely packed. It was all in there, luckily enough, although we might ponder what there was. Then, suddenly, BANG, all at once, everything was everywhere. Without even meaning to, we had the universe, which is a concept humans made up to mean everything.

I like how Easter is about Jesus but we celebrate it by stuffing unborn chickens with mustard, naming them after Satan, and consuming their flesh

As we’re coming into Easter tomorrow, it’s time for my yearly zombie jeebus PSA.

They’ve just got him locked in a room with an old toy phone telling him he’s talking to Iran, right? apple.news/AB0AqiolqQ0a...

Act like we're in the middle of a totalitarian takeover? Okeedokey: YOU'RE A SITTING SENATOR WHY AREN'T YOU THREATENING TO DRAG THIS ASSHOLE IN FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS? "Oh we're not in the majority" Motherfucker do you want to be? Then promise to make this shitbag's life miserable next year.

Pam Bondi Investigated Sex Trafficking In Florida US Attorney General Pam Bondi was Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 when Epstein was raping children. His Victim settlements were often in the Miami News. Why didn’t she investigate and arrest Epstein for Raping Children in Florida?

Surprised no one jumped on this already, or at least not that I’ve seen yet. Needs to happen though. www.michigan.gov/ag/news/pres...

I used to handle risk management/claims for a large rental car company. Yeah, this happens more often than you would think. Both with customers and employees.

NEW: (gift) A Miami Herald Investigation: How Jeffrey Epstein Beat the Justice System by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social and @clurhealy.bsky.social www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.

The files contain devastating pleas from a woman who survived Epstein’s network and says she has spent years being gaslit, questioning her own lawyers, describing coercive settlements, deleted records, harassment, media smears, and silence. 🧵

We’ve got @hunterw.bsky.social on today’s podcast episode, talking about the FBI raid on a Georgia election office and why we have to take the Trump Admin’s contempt for democracy seriously, even if the people leading it seem cartoonish and incompetent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

New at The Watch: I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution. They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

As usual, Elie is right. I don’t have enough middle fingers for the “Pollyanna Democrats” and others he calls out in here that have been trying to brush off how much this election is going to be fucked with. Stop saying he can’t do it or that things as arbitrary as “laws” are going to stop Trump.

❌ NO: This is not a genuine video still of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. ⚠️ The image was “enhanced” with AI, which resulted in visual distortions & anomalies. 🔗 Read much more about this viral falsehood on RumorGuard: go.newslit.org/AIPretti

This is pure genius. I’d say to make sure Bovino and other ICE/DHS chuds see it, but they’re too stupid to understand it.

This is a great read. I think there are more people that want to do something to stop what’s going on than not, they’re just not exactly sure where to start, or if there are enough others on the same page as them for it to matter. We’ve been raised to be complacent, and getting people to move (1/2)

I know everyone is pissed about Trump’s post regarding Reiner (deservedly so) but this is a new achievement in stupidity from him. Or whichever flying monkey conceived it and got him to sign it. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

WTF #Spartans? I wake up to reports that we’re hiring Pat f’n Fitzgerald? How tone deaf are Batt and the administration? Yeah, let’s get a guy that was fired from NW due to allegations of sexual abuse and racial discrimination while still under the neverending specter of Nassar and an (1/2)

I’m not an #Eagles fan, but watching them pound the #Cowboys 21-0 to start and Fox panning to Jerry Jones’ sad panda face is enough to get me to cheer for them today.

As funny and accurate as this is, I don’t think the Dems/DNC shitting the bed on the regular over the past 20+ years is anything other than intentional so they can play the hapless victim and continually fundraise from it.

You owe back taxes.

Over 40 million people will lose their food assistance because the wealthy require fascism to further line their pockets. We have to link arms and take care of one another while recognizing these motherfuckers will take everything unless we stop them. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-war-agai...

1. Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency. Most people are probably not even AWARE of all three scandals. 🧵

Normal people: wow, it really sucks that Trump is destroying the whole East Wing MAGA: ☝️ well ackschully, in 1948… Shut the fuck up.

Locking in for oral arguments on the big voting rights case at the Supreme Court. The next two hours or so will be... incredibly bad.

www.newsweek.com/full-list-yo... I wonder how many of these MAGA chuds called for people to be fired/jailed/killed for disparaging Charlie Kirk?

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

For accuracy’s sake, I stop calling people Nazis when they stop saying and doing Nazi things. At that point I call them former Nazis

"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were. But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk." www.the-reframe.com/acceptable-l...

What are the odds that as we learn more about how Kirk assumed room temperature, it turns out he took one (involuntarily) for the team to distract from the Epstein files? Because it definitely feels like a Trump/MAGA thing to do. Can easily blame Dems forever and shifts the media narrative instantly

Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.

"Understanding Trump’s ‘Take Back’ Panama Canal Threat" If you did not know, it seemed strange. #Women #Epstein It wasn’t geopolitics. It was communication to Panama’s leadership—a gag order. No revealing Trump’s ties to Panama, beyond public record. Panama quiet since. Not in the news.🧵

over the last week, several political scientists i trust have declared trump a dictator and that america is not a full functioning democracy anymore. see here: goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/where-we-a... donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author... i think making a list clarifies this:

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
