In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Do we think any of Manchester City’s players were clever enough to get escape clauses in their contract that trigger if the club is found guilty?

Don’t forget: because of Everton there’s now legal precedent for all these teams to sue City for damages. Additionally, teams that missed out on premier league titles, and cup championships could sue as well.

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?

Article 25 (3)(e) of the statute establishing the International Criminal Court criminalizes incitement to genocide. If someone can walk into the United Nations and say this, they’re daring the court to act.

"Trump’s organized crime ties were discussed openly from 2017-2019 — until networks abruptly banned the discussion. But politicians and pundits always knew the threat. Ask why they did nothing. Ask why they dropped the topic when Biden was elected."

It’s very simple. AI isn’t independent or autonomous. It’s a tool being specifically programmed to commit crimes against humans and against rival businesses. But the fantasy of autonomy is an incredible facade that means total deniability and our political and media classes have already bought in.

This fantasy that “AI is out of control” provides cover for powerful people and corporations to simply program systems to carry out actions and then shrug. And if that is brought into the larger scheme of operations, the powerful will shrug and blame the tool they control.

This specific goal almost feels like it should not be credited to anyone. It’s not Messi’s goal. His shot hit the post and bounced out. It’s not a GK OG. He didn’t deliberately play the ball. It’s not anyone else’s goal because the GK got in the way of the deflection off the post.

The last two World Cups and his play at Miami have really exposed how entitled, immature, and petulant Messi is. It’s not that I don’t care that he’s playing some of the best soccer MLS has seen. It’s that I can’t stand to watch him and his teammates act the way they do.

Not sure Sounders adding Joveljić really helps the Sounders in the short term. We’re decimated by injuries and won’t be creating chances for him any time soon. In the long term, he’ll score more than the three players that we’ve been giving minutes up top.

Sure feels like the plan is to reach for players that we don’t actually have the means to sign while also hoarding as much cash as possible to build a small stadium in a suburb - which the fan base actively opposes.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

I think “the injuries are brutal” explains ~90% and the other ~10% is roster construction problems. e.g. Giving Morris the “earn the DP spot” clause, gambling on PDLV and losing, Nouhou, etc.
