You gotta admit: the Tigers players doing the Trump dance and then immediately, inconceivably losing almost every remaining game and missing the postseason would be one of the funniest things of all time.

I come from generations of freedom fighters who taught us to fight oppressive forces. Whether it’s fighting for a livable wage, to make housing affordable for all, or stopping the genocide – I’m answering the call of my forbearers. I'm Chris Rabb, and I’m running for Congress.

"Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work"

I know a bunch of my followers are online content creators ... if you want to understand how the online landscape is changing, take the time out of your day to read the six articles we've rounded up this month. Don't fall behind. This stuff is changing almost faster than we can keep track of.

The sum total of all Kamala book clips and interviews is that she's a singularly awful political actor; not only ideologically vacuous but literally no good instincts or ability to articulate ideas! Absolutely mindboggling that there are *still* people arguing she ran a perfect campaign

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

back in black.

Yesterday, at League Pass in L'Eixample, I waded into the Kawhi-Clippers-Aspiration waters: hhype.substack.com/p/idealism-a...

It should not be ignored that the Cubs have a Nazi sympathizer at third base, that he hides behind the cover of “faith” in his defense, and we don’t have a media that actively presses people on their heinous beliefs

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

NEW mayoral poll from Suffolk University, conducted Sept. 16-18, with a 4.4% margin of error: www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suff... Zohran Mamdani - 45% Andrew Cuomo - 25% Curtis Sliwa - 9% Eric Adams - 8%

this is gaslighting, plain and simple. No, it's not the worker producing workslop, it's the fucking AI!

trains are magic and it’s so embarrassing that the richest country in the history of the world is all “high speed rail? nah we don’t need it”

Obviously they only polled Bluesky weirdos and not real american twitter democrats lile Nate Silver

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

I love that the reddit autism sub completely understands that autism is at least partly genetic and hereditary because all their parents could recite 200 digits of π. It's interesting how infrequently this is brought up in media coverage. www.reddit.com/r/autism/com...

Ivica Zubac is eyeing another leap following his career year and the Clippers' roster improvements this offseason. My exclusive with Zu: clutchpoints.com/nba/los-ange...

"the truth is, these are not very bright guys and things got out of hand" covers so much of what's going on, everywhere, all the time

Declining empire ruled by a bewildered senile old man is such a heavy handed metaphor it’s wild we did it twice in a row

Pretty remarkable that Star Wars saw the success of Andor and is still releasing Mandalorian and Grogu as the first new SW movie in seven years.

every journalist knows they are packaging the entire Charlie Kirk story dishonestly, and they all think it is incredibly rude to point that out

The entire “Americans want pro corporate liberal centrism” project has failed, and an entire industry that runs on pretending otherwise is panicking. It isn’t just that they don’t want to move the party to the left; they don’t understand HOW to. They’ve literally never thought about it.

If Sherrone Moore comes back next week and Bryce goes back to not running I will be apoplectic

Bryce Underwood needs to hit the WR recruiting trail

Ezra Klein 🤝 Neera Tanden Despite the overwhelming popularity of abortion rights in all states, we should surrender instead

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

at the zenith of RFK Jr. breaking medicine, science and trust forever, Olivia Nuzzi is named West Coast Editor of Vanity Fair.

whatever she may be, this is something that can be easily messaged and defended against if there was some sort of opposition party who championed marginalized genders and confronted patriarchy and the failing material conditions of this country.

opinion about Ballmer thing: I care as a sports fan but not as a socialist. yes the league should probably fine/suspend these guys but honestly as a moral creature I am not really all that concerned with one billionaire cheating in a game he plays with other billionaires

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

I'm gonna be immensely disappointed if at least one team doesn't pass out foam or inflatable trees to their fans when the Clippers come to town.

Tonight at 5 PM ET. Talk soon.

a canceled streaming subscription is easily converted to several spec fic magazine subs on patreon and similar services, some are as low as 1-2 bucks. the more you know.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has done it again 🔥 The 25-year-old made history by producing the second-fastest 400-meter ever to win the world title. http://dlvr.it/TN8X95

congrats to joe brandon and all the purported defenders of democracy who normalized cracking heads on student protestors in order to cover for israeli genocide. you really greased the skids for ol donnie trump to formally submarine the first amendment

This is ofc a far greater attack on free speech than Kimmel going off the air

Taps the sign.

I'm gonna argue that it wasn't rapid at all, and has in fact been in the works for upwards of 50 years. reason it seems rapid to the casual observer is we've reached the part where they don't have to be secretive about it anymore

Like ontologically you can never get conservatives on “hypocrisy” because a core aspect of the reactionary mind is building and maintaining hierarchies, in which the rules and customs are different for different classes of people. Same logic does not apply to everyone
