Guy in my section just cleanly caught a foul ball while seated, took a second to laugh about it with his buddy, and handed the ball to the nearest kid. That’s how you do it

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

Where is the outrage? 😡 Maybe not enough of us heard about his. Please repost!! #RemoveMaxMilleroh

“Developers talk not just about how the AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience … More concerning, developers who use AI at work report that they feel like they are de-skilling themselves.”

10,000 democratic mayors will learn nothing from this

WIC used to have bipartisan support because even Republicans said "Well of course we want to make sure pregnant women and babies have enough to eat, we're not monsters," but now they say "Screw those freeloading babies, we've got a gold-plated ballroom to build"

I live in Chicago. The landlord did not keep up with the building. Residents were going to organize. The landlord didn't want the expense of eviction, so he contacted ICE to raid the building and remove the tenants for him.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

This is the kind of leadership we need. Not symbolic statements. Not empty outrage. Real legislation that protects our communities.

The legislation also: - Stops the city from sharing data with ICE - Limits how much local police, jails, and city workers can collaborate with ICE - Stops city benefits from being denied based on immigration status

Here’s what the ICE Out bills do: - Make it a criminal offense for ICE agents & law enforcement to wear masks, hide their badges, or use unmarked cars - Ban discrimination based on immigration status, making it a protected class - Make city property off limits to ICE activity

The Dems, bluntly, are stupid and gullible. Blind, stupid, unwilling to fight. To not see the SCOTUS as an outright declared enemy of democracy you cannot be anything but willfully blind and happily gullible.

This is hilarious and also terrible. “I provide a lot of money to people who work for me” Oh? You pay them to do nothing? “…servers in restaurants…” …I see. I see.

Elon is a genocidal demon and any Democrat who refuses to call him what he is a useless quisling. Any defense of that creature who has the blood of millions of children on his hands is flatly and totally intolerable among civilized people.

hi, as some of you know Them was sold last month and i was laid off as a result. this is a gofundme for myself and my colleagues who have been impacted, pls share and donate if you feel called <3 www.gofundme.com/f/support-la...

Ohio State needs to be banned from the NCAA for all the abuse scandals it failed to cover up. Michigan State and Penn State should have also received bans. The only way this dumb country understands how to pay attention is when we take away their sports.

Review of Russell Brand's Christian apologia (or self-excusia) by John Maier: "Writers are often advised to write like they speak. Brand should neither write like he speaks nor, let's face it, speak like he speaks."

Elected R's and D's agree that college produces too many citizens who end up expecting things from them

This is serial murder by your government with your tax dollars.

No amount of budgeting or avoiding eating out can make up for the fact that we don't earn enough anymore.

I don't think there should be a work requirement for SNAP. I think there should be a wage-should-be-enough-for-employees-to-eat requirement for employers.

I’ve heard a number of democratic representatives indicate they understand that new safeguards must be put in place.

At this point the White House might as well install a drive-thru window: “Would you like fries with your executive clemency?” Critics are now demanding answers over whether loyalty and connections matter more than accountability. Again. Read 👉 crowdblue.com/news/915605

Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

In its desperation to recover as it hemorrhages legal talent, the Justice Department offers a generous signing bonus to any lawyer who would lower themself to working for the fed under Trump. @alyssaur.bsky.social brings you this week's TWIBS, here!

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

So apparently it isn’t racism if white legislators remove all black voting districts thus disenfranchising black voters from being able to elect a single black legislator ever?

Is it the Whitehouse?

It's not "Women were given the vote", it's "Men withheld enfranchisement until they forced to give it up"

Hegseth brings his wife to Top Secret meetings and the whole Regime communicates via unsecured media Apps. This Regime has shown zero concern for legally mandated OPSEC … The Regime now claiming there are “criminal leaks” when people see a person drunk at work is Rich …

A secret service agent arrested for jerking off in public sums up both this current administration and this historical moment so well.
