My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Ever wonder how home run distance is actually measured? It's not an exit velo/launch angle formula, despite the myth that it is. Really cool work from Riley @ Sportsball to show what goes into it: www.instagram.com/_sportsball/...

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

It's Sunday, & in my family of origin, on Sundays we reset by resting AND preparing for the week ahead. W/ that in mind, it seems like a good day for @jamestalarico.bsky.social to butter up a turd sandwich, take a big bite, & start reparations w/ the Texas trans community. That, or prepare to lose.

Woke up brokenhearted still that @jamestalarico.bsky.social would completely abandon the trans community in his comments yesterday. Completely killed any & all enthusiasm I had for his campaign. Momentum...dead. I can't believe a criminal like Paxton is going to beat the cowardly Talarico #TransAlly

SO disappointed in both @jamestalarico.bsky.social & G. Hinajosa today. Whatever strategists told you to take the dumbest stance on the issue are 100% wrong. You know better. I had such high hopes. When you lose, you can look in the mirror & ask why you threw trans people under the bus. #BeAnAlly

The minute “willing to spend money” is no longer enough in NWSL, the Current are going to be in so much trouble. Ownership is bad at every single thing they do and they make every wrong decision, and one day “I’ll write the check” won’t be enough to hide that.

Vlatko Andonovski brought a level of stability to the Current as an organization that wasn’t there through the Huw Williams and Camille Levin Ashton eras and the partnership with Carducci was one of the best two year runs in league history. Current have lost that identity less than a year later.

@JoshDenny
I’ll be 43 in a week. I’ve been mostly single for the past 18 months, and I’m just now realizing that my intelligence has ALWAYS been THE biggest issue in my relationships.

Not getting old, or fat; Not having professional failures. 

Look at dating site blurbs. No woman EVER lists high IQ or intelligence in their “wants” section.

Women actually DESPISE men of high intelligence.

It is their single greatest insecurity.Tweet from Josh Denny @joshdenny
