Pete Rose Day was planned a long time ago. It had nothing to do with the recent announcement about allowing him into the Hall of Fame.

Good news: A couple of the bigger outlets condemn Manfred's move::: MLB was wrong to reinstate Pete Rose: Why nothing has changed about hits leader's baseball gambling by CBS Sports www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb...

Reds immediately prove Commissioner Manfred wrong by celebrating a man who decided MLB's rules against gambling didn't apply to him. If that's not a "threat to the integrity of the game", what is? www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

They continue to be loud and wrong.

Explain to me how, 45 years after JR Richard's stroke a Black professional athlete can have an undiagnosed heary condition? (That's rhetorical. I fucking know the reason). youtu.be/ld_jdwaVFv8?...

This trailer made me weep. Too many Americans are one bad break away from a day like this. And my GURL Taraji P Henson. DAYUM! youtu.be/k1vWhii4tkE?...

It's really important for white folks to unflinchingly address their white privilege. I applaud Toro Blanco for doing so. This series is a must read 👇👇👇

No comment necessary

The idea of people refusing to vote bc they don’t want to compromise themselves morally is utterly foreign to Black folks, bc only an extreme amount of privilege makes it possible for people to treat voting as a statement of virtue rather than a tool to improve the material conditions of others.

To be Black in America is to be forced to compromise yourself on a daily basis in order to survive. People who sneer at Democrats genuinely do not get the sheer fear that motivates voting for survival.

Saw the CRAZIEST HR call: Fan reaches over the wall, but since the ball hit his forearm, which wasn't in the field of play, it was a HR. Baseball is wondeful!

In this capacity, they double down on the “Democrats do nothing” narrative, bc it excuses the behavior of their MAGA family members, whom they claim are somehow principled enough to reject the shortcomings of the Democratic Party but not those same shortcomings in Republicans.

Ime they’re people who grew up with conservative parents but who have LGBT+ friends, so became leftists so that their views align with both parents and friends. They can be socially liberal while also being able to bash democrats while telling themselves their bigoted parents are secret leftists.

A lot of them tell themselves that their parents would vote for Democrats if they were economically progressive enough, and that they only voted for Trump to “burn it all down” and “reject the status quo.” Even though Trump’s fiscal policies are textbook post-Reagan neoliberalism.

My son's reply. Gosh, I love my children and grandchildren. LOL

Lemme take this opportunity to say, "fuck Stephen A Smith".

27 April 1937 | Czech Jewish girl, Ruth Fischerová, was born in Prague. She was deported from Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz on 18 May 1944. She was placed in the family camp BIIb at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. She did not survive.

This is how you accurately write a headline. Rolling Stone gets it.

“When you’re healthy you believe you’ll always be healthy. That if you get sick it’ll be a temporary slow down & you will be back to normal after a few days. When you learn that isn’t true, when you come face to face with the reality of how quickly you can lose your health, you become cautious.”

I checked this out on Snopes, completely real. www.snopes.com/fact-check/o...

2026 is more than an election, it's a restraining order. Are you registered to vote (at your current address)? Sure about that? When is the last time you checked? R's keep purging voter rolls, so best check now! www.vote.org <Register or check registration here!

Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009. California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61. No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.

If you call someone a "r*tard" it says more about your intelligence than anyone else's.

A vote is not a reward for good or brave behavior. A vote is a choice of an agenda. Beecause after election day an agenda IS getting enacted. You can hold back your vote from Democrats all you want, but do you really letting the Republicans back into power is going to help anyone...anywhere?

Those pushing to raise the retirement age to 70 are individuals who have never had to work for a living.

Hopes for actual community, friendships abounded c.1960s, 2009+. Work w social justice groups and inevitably someone will lean forward to whisper to me some "unspoken truth" they think I will agree with. Not possible to ignore how deep that goes. Sickening.

Absolutely true. And tons of them took "right" turns politically, rejecting the needed fight still going on at home. It wasn't about them. After all, the CRA had "solved" all the problems, right?

Interesting. German Intelligence have just arrested two suspected Russia spies, they had US Sec Defence Hegseth's private phone number in their mobiles. (Der Speigel)

I see that. I listened to the discussion on YouTube about tokenization. It was powerful. It is so painful to see what Obama did and then how it became an excuse: post-racial America so we don't have to lift a finger. But it's what I saw in the 70s after CRA/VRA, too. We WP can't seem to grow up.

I remember being startled at James Baldwin's memory of post WW II NYC where he had trusted friends, some of whom were white. How did we go from that, albeit a small group, to reviving white supremacy and tokenizing Black people in the post-Civil Rights Era? WTF is the matter w us white people?
