A mariachi band playing the anthem on Monday Nightt Football in Chicago is the epic level trolling I didn't know I needed!

I needed loans to go to college. I majored in anthropology, minored in German. I'm now a partner in a law firm and make a nice living. This rule is trash and so are the people who wrote and approved it.

We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them

Can't watch this game on Fox bc they keep running that ad. Also would like to withhold my federal tax dollars. Everything he says (in the ad) is a lie.

Are the refs at the Miami game getting paid by the flag? This is ridiculous. Offense and defense are flagged on every play

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

If you're watching KU vs ASU from London, I learned today that 90% of the KU players didn't have passports before this game. What an amazing life opportunity for them to get their passports to life via this game! Those are valid for 10 years - for the rest of college and beyond! Rock Chalk!!

I was a 1st year BigLaw associate working in a high-rise building in Philly. My husband picked me up & we were one of the last cars across the bridge to NJ before it closed. So many things happened that day. I went back to work the next day scarred & terrified. I regret not taking the day off.

“We gave it all,” said an undoc recovery worker who now has breast cancer. “When we got to ground zero we felt so much fear … No one ever asked to check out immigration status. Oh no, they treated us like we were real important back then. It was: ‘Go in Lucelly … Get in there.’” #AbuseofPowerWatch

Because our governor rolled out the red carpet and told our mayor he couldn't do anything to stop it. Hegseth, Miller, Bondi, et al. came to town and made it clear they were in charge. The mayor didn't even try to fight. Without political leadership and support, how can people fight effectively?

Memphis has spent a year under federal occupation. ICE would rather you didn't notice.
Watch as these officers arrest an activist for documenting from a reasonable distance.

Think Immigration: How the Trump Administration Is Monetizing Immigration Enforcement on the Back End
AILA Member Gunda Brost describes recent efforts by the Trump Administration to impose fines on individuals and businesses, writing that such notices “are essentially legal proceedings—not simply bills” and that one must “respond in a timely manner or important rights could be lost.”

Had to bring 1 of my dogs to the emergency vet bc he has bad congestion. People here with their dog who apparently ate a THC lollipop and is struggling. That makes me so angry. Weed is illegal in TN in all its forms. Keep it away from your damn dog.
