A painful game and loss, but a great season and post-season run. #Illinois

"Asked what percentage of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward, Tiffany Justice, who is now with The Heritage Foundation’s political advocacy arm, told ProPublica: 'I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.'" www.propublica.org/article/educ...

White Sox walk off win in the 10th in a Home Opener that *almost* got away from them. How can you not be romantic about baseball?! ⚾️

With the Illinois Men’s 🏀 team headed to the Final Four, it’s a great time for university administrators and the Board of Regents to recognize the Kingfisher as the official mascot!

ILL! 💙🧡🏀

Local SacTown shop owner: “a few months ago you couldn’t find a parking spot on a Friday night. Not so now. Wall Street may be up but Main Street is hurting big time. The rich just keep getting richer.”

ILL!!! 💙🧡

Hike to Eagle Lake today! 🥾

A 14-2 White Sox loss to Milwaukee? We are so back! #OpeningDay

Happy #OpeningDay! ⚾️

DMV professionals in Illinois were far friendlier and more helpful than those working in Nevada.

Alright Illinois… here we go. 🏀

just a thought: no movement should ever depend so completely on the reputation of its chosen figurehead that one of its founders is forced to make a calculation like this on behalf of its survival

As a long time Miggy fan, I really enjoyed camera spans to his reactions and excitement. Thrilled for him and all of Venezuela!

Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny

And that’s what you get for inviting Navy Seals into your locker room to deliver weird ass speeches instead of enjoying la pachanga. 😂

GENO SUÁREZ OPEN MIC NIGHT

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

In the words of my six year old: “the USA is cooked, but the blue team (Venezuela) looks like they are having fun.” Totally agree! Congrats to 🇻🇪! #WBC

🚨New (Open Access) Publication! In this study @dsalazargarza.bsky.social and myself examine how DEI is portrayed across the public school districts in LA County. We utilize racialized organization theory to critically examine how these districts describe their DEI initiatives. Data collected 2024.

“No to war and Free Palestine.” — Javier Bardem while presenting at the #Oscars .

Also want to say I’ve genuinely enjoyed PTA films over the years, but to make a movie where immigration / ICE is a central plot point and NOT speak on this in any of the three winning speeches is totally wild

Someone on Twitter claimed that 60% of Sinners was illegible to the avg American viewer. I can’t speak to the accuracy of the statistic, but I do feel confident in saying that the average American is unfamiliar with A LOT of history generally, and Black history specifically. This is a good start.

Happy Pi Day. π

Oh Mary Wollstonecraft, the revolutionary you are!!! The things you understand!!!!

Need a new car. HATE talking to / interacting with sales people. A true dilemma.

Trump campaign 2024: “we’ll reduce the price of eggs!” Trump presidency 2026: “doubling gas prices is just the price Americans have to pay to fund our global imperial war, not least because we need to detract from our involvement in the largest child sex trafficking ring in history.”

165 years ago today the Nevada Territory was established by President Lincoln, in no small part to prevent the Mormons from declaring the entire Great Basin their economic and theocratic kingdom.

It's been centuries of this bullshit, mind. See HOW TO HIDE AN EMPIRE, a book that should be required in every US high school curriculum: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

the right won the culture war bc it built a machine to do it (southern strategy, neoliberalism, reagan, gingrich, buying up the news) then kept pushing until they found an angle that got no measurable mainstream pushback (gamergate into trump) then blew the door off the hinges (project 2025)

I completely cleaned up my “Downloads” folder, so I feel like I’ve achieved Inbox Zero

After 7 months in Nevada, I’m convinced many don’t know how great things can be when you have state taxes that can be used to invest in public things—parks, programs, SCHOOLS, etc. Not everything needs to be run by a church, a non-profit, or a volunteer org. It can be better! Public is good!

RIP Jesse Jackson. Here he is in 2016 riding into #NoDAPL camp at Standing Rock with great aplomb. He always did his best over many years to show up and support oppressed people in struggle.

BREAKING NEWS: The Rev. Jesse Jackson was a lifelong civil rights advocate until his death Tuesday at the age of 84.

Utah has never had a plan to support Native American students—despite decades of data showing they are left behind. In districts here w/ the most Indigenous students, only 1 in 10 are reading on grade level. Now the state could be required to step up. www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

James Baldwin said, “To study the economic structure of this country, to know which hands control the wealth, and to which end, seems an academic exercise—and yet it is necessary, all of it is necessary.” And as Ruth Wilson Gilmore said about the money, "Really follow it––not pretend to follow it."

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

Mormon settlers colonized southwestern Alberta in the 1880s as an outpost to protect the practice of polygamy beyond the borders of US interference. Ironically, one of the leaders of this movement is a Mormon politician w/ a degree from BYU.
