Can we get EYE Filmmuseum trending here? It's Bluesky! We need, what, five posts? Let's make some noise to support a nice Dutch archive that gives us lots of free silent movies to watch.

a state that acts in your name without your consent is killing people which you oppose and have spoken out against repeatedly. how dare you also speak out about your desire to not be harassed/assaulted/murdered for it.

Three divisions (NY, Boston, Montreal, Ottawa; Toronto, Hamilton, Detroit, Minnesota; Vegas, San Jose, Seattle, Vancouver) would have made more sense in terms of travel distance and time zones, but it would have made playoffs complicated.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Awful: Trump's Office of "Remigration" has just been exposed making sordid payments to authoritarian governments to take third-country deportees, leading to serious abuses. Dems tell me they will try to defund the agency if they win power. They should. 1/ New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2157...

Anyone know what the flags are on the flagpole at the WPBL field, other than the US flag? I'd assumed the one right underneath (with red and blue, split by a diagonal) was the Illinois state flag, but I looked it up, and it isn't.

He destroyed it because he could not force the community that made it function, a community he wishes he could be a part of, to worship him. He is humiliated by that and is doing anything he can to erase the humiliation. All the wrecking and screaming flows from that.

Immigrants are being denied or given redacted copies of their immigration records, documents which they need to prove their legal status in court. In some cases, the Trump Administration is even saying these records don’t exist even when lawyers know they do. This is illegal.

French, a right-wing Christian, suggested to the NYTimes that antisemitic death threats made by his supporters against the Democratic candidate aren’t actually antisemitic because Rosenthal is “not practicing Jewish” - although he doesn’t actually know how religiously observant Rosenthal is.
“Mr. Rosenthal said he knew he was in for a tough fight against Mr. French. A Democrat has not won a statewide race in Texas in more than 30 years.

“The odds are still against me,” Mr. Rosenthal said. He said he had received dozens of death threats from Mr. French’s supporters, some attacking him for being Jewish.

When asked about the antisemitism directed at his opponent, Mr. French told The Times at last week’s convention that Mr. Rosenthal was “not practicing Jewish.”

Mr. Rosenthal pushed back.

“Anyone that thinks it’s their job to pass judgment on whether I’m Jewish or not can shove it,” he said.”

There are still troops on the streets. The local economy is being systematically dismantled. Quality of life is being targeted, deliberately and systematically. And ICE is a constant presence in the parts of the city where visitors don’t go, but where the people who sustain it all actually live.

I honestly don’t think most people outside of the DC area understand how cruel and punishing Trump’s conduct toward the city is and has been. I think at some level the perception is that it isn’t a city at all, not like Minneapolis or Chicago.
