I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

'Extremely patronizing': SF Giants' attempt to woo A's fans completely backfires
Die-hard A's fans, and even some Giants fans, took issue with the way the Giants tried to appeal to Oakland baseball fans this past weekend.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

It's not about immigration. It's not about gang activity. It's about the Trump administration seeking the absolute power to send anyone they see fit — citizens included – without due process on one way trips to overseas concentration camps from which no one ever returns.

Yes. And the 5th amendment to the US Constitution states: "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..." Notice it says "person", not "citizen". It makes no cutout for any subgroup. Other parts of the Constitution do, but not this part.

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

when MLB dropped "diversity" from its career site, I reached out to every team, including those with live DEI pages. None committed to their current efforts. Almost nobody responded! One week before Jackie Robinson Day, my take on the leaguewide silence: www.miamiherald.com/opinion/arti...
miamiherald.com
Most MLB teams have DEI programs. Why won’t any commit to them or talk about it? | Opinion
In the Trump era, when even Jackie Robinson is at risk, the sport is quiet about diversity efforts it used to tout. | Opinion
