Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

This guy who took health care from millions got to see MULTIPLE DOCTORS for sad. Meanwhile we see a nurse practitioner for cancer. This is a time for compassion, and the most compassionate thing would be to enact the revolution immediately.

Tom Kean Jr. was healthy enough to authorize stock transactions up to $190,000 during his nearly 4-month absence from the House. There’s more to this story than he’s saying.

'No men in the women's locker room except the genital inspectors!' Is not the rallying cry you might think it is.

If I was fully transparent I'd probably stay out of public for four months, too.

there may very well be an explanation for his absence that engenders sympathy and understanding but it should also not be completely forgotten that his only communication during the absence was not to his constituents but to his stock broker

PARAGUAY!

Anyway, why point this out? 1. They've always blamed the left for losses. It's been going on forever. 2. Don't let it stop you.

Garbage Day EIC @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social talked with me about how TikTok has become his "least favorite relationship on the internet" due to the algorithmic changes in the Larry Ellison era. talkingpointsmemo.com/the-weekende...

The idea that we need to know "what was in the heart of the perpetrator," as opposed to simply evaluating the impact of their actions, is a sign of how culturally Christian the way we talk about these issues is.

Iran looking very good to advance out of group on three ties. Not absolute yet I don't think but could be a great story.

How in God's name did the dodgers not only find but sign and play the one catcher on the planet who wouldn't have fun catching Shohei? I'd do it. I'd suck, but I'd have fun.

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

Got goal scorers you've* never even heard of! *I've Get those nine points!

It'd be a scandal for a Cabinet secretary *without* a daughter with Down syndrome to say this, of course, but this really is fucking enraging.

That's goal of the cup for me so far. Japan/Sweden

What do you call a pogrom with Supreme Court approval? A pogrom.

Lurked on X this week to do some reporting. It's stunning how ugly it is there. Saw a Blaze reporter call a Landers' staffer a "fa***t." A Daily Wire reporter wants to abolish mosques. Nearly every reply thread to posts by black or Jewish people quickly descended into raw racism or antiSemitism.

A major problem with the hydration breaks is the teams know they're coming and don't want to make anything happen in the two minutes before hand, so a lot of these games have had 2 two-minute kick arounds.

Yeah, the Democratic party has two wings now. The put your head down and try to make it through trump wing and the newly evolving maybe fight him instead wing. Big whoop, both wings have one very activating thing in common.

Mechanism and updated prediction for the epic fail of Lincoln Memorial Bioreactor's polyurea coating! First chemistry, then physics It was sprayed in big sections. In addition to pool edges, failure will concentrate at the OVERLAP SEAMS between sections because they likely barely bonded at all. 1/x

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

This ticket is literally pro crime. Watergate was a felony burglary.

I feel like his expectations are for Somalis to lose the accent and significantly lighten their skin in like one or two generations. Like there weren't Irish or German accents two steps up his family tree. Absolute loser shit.

Well done Mexico getting 9 points in the group.

Wild that establishment dems wouldn't start to tack left even for cynical reasons. Even just thinking, hey, people seem to like candidates with ideas and conviction, I guess I should try that.

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social it's a bit small potatoes but the federal government is flaunting yet another court deadline, in Eugene, about a fence around the federal building. Don't know if it crossed your desk.

Trump is making big moves right now to subvert and control the midterm elections. But it’s not just him. He’s not coming up with these nefarious plans by himself. There’s a giant Republican billionaire-funded machine operating him like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

The president is a piece of shit.

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

The antisemitism I’m seeing about Brad Lander today is wild. Unfollowing people I’ve followed for years who’ve lost their minds, saying he’s the wrong type of Jew and somehow all the Jews who voted for him were tricked into it. Some real bad shit from a lot of “we’re the normal ones” Democrats.

These candidates are winning with Democrats because the corporate centrist weakling approach has repeatedly failed to deliver the programs we hoped we were voting for. We wanted Mamdanis and got Schumers and Merrick Garlands and it sucks. The voters are not wrong. The party has failed us.

Just realized Donald Trump has done worse against Iran than Saddam Hussein did.

A party that has lost to mediocrities like George W Bush and Donald Trump *four times* is not in fact doing a good job.

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

Fun to imagine some kids who's born a couple years from now someday getting as obsessed with the reflecting pool thing as I was with Watergate.

It looks like a Cybertruck

The message: If you oppose people kidnapping your neighbors and disappearing them in concentration camps, you might get sent to prison for the rest of your life. The Constitution is nothing but a set of suggestions.

This guy is such a disgrace we are going to have to invent a new word stronger than 'disgrace.'

don't touch anything or you could totally fuck up the future

American Jew, here. Rabbi, actually! AIPAC is not, in fact, "Millions of people." It's a lobbying *org* that spends a lot of money to influence lawmakers with the goal of getting substantial military spending to another govt., & associated goals. US Jews are a *people*, with diverse opinions!

Starmer’s resignation is a warning, but we’ve run this experiment at home. Sinema, Golden, and Fetterman made the same bet: that poll-tested moderation is a safe harbor. All saw their support crater. In a moment like this, tacking right isn’t the safe play, it’s the thing that sinks you.

Centrist Americans being mystified by Kier Starmer's unpopularity despite him doing everything they're always telling Democrats to do is so funny. Just the biggest dumbasses around.

Weyland-Yutani from Aliens is a surprisingly realistic portrayal of companies nowadays because you never get any real idea of how they actually make money but they certainly have a desire to do evil and sometimes Paul Reiser is there

Assignment desk: -What is going on in Venezuela? -What is going on in Cuba? -What is going on in Greenland? I know living under the Trump administration makes you feel like you're having a stroke, but it's shocking how little long-term coverage I see of the consequences of Trump foreign policy.

SUCK IT

law being a High Status Smart Boy profession is only possible in a democratic society that follows the rule of law. lawyers and judges in Russia, Belarus, and Turkmenistan are mostly viewed as morally bankrupt stenographic stooges trying to make a quick buck off licking the dictator’s boots
