The only attack on Minnesota has come FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Our Somali neighbors bring so much good to our state. Immigrants make us better. Trump's latest attack post is putting us all in danger, but immigrants most of all. My heart hurts today, but I'll use it as fuel.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

This week: Lance Oppenheim's Chris Hansen portrait PRIMETIME has us looking back at a classic movie covering similar ground around ethics in infotainment and creating "truth" by editing reality. Tony Curtis plays sharply against type in 1957's terrific SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS: omny.fm/shows/filmsp...

An art poster for 1957's Sweet Smell of Success, with Tony Curtis in the foreground, wearing a sharp suit and walking by a newsstand covered in magazines. In the background, a paper delivery van drives by with "Go with the Globe: Read JJ Hunsecker" written on the side, and an image of Burt Lancaster as Hunsecker.

It's even worse - he used to say his family escaped Castro, but then it was revealed his family fled the US-supported Fulgencio Batista. Now that it's advantageous to be a Western supremacist, he's pushing aside Cuban and going with Spanish.

This is as clearly as I've seen this spelled out. If the PCSA smelled off to you but you didn't know quite why, this interview offers very lucid proof that you were correct. defector.com/an-antitrust...

What you're saying is, the antitrust exemptions in the NBA, MLB, NFL, etc. are allowed as a result of the collective bargaining process, whereas the PCSA seeks a similar exemption by circumventing the collective bargaining process. Is that correct?

Generally, yes. When we talk specifically about labor markets, all of the restraints that we see in labor markets of our professional sports leagues—the salary cap, the draft, the limits on player movement, every single one of them—to the extent that they're exempt from antitrust law, are the products of good-faith collective bargaining between the management group and the players group, and exist in a collective bargaining agreement that was reached through good-faith bargaining.

What is being proposed with the Protect College Sports Act is to establish the exact same types of labor restraints, specifically a salary cap, specifically a number of years of eligibility to compete in college sports, and specifically limits on transfers, but not to do so in collective bargaining where there are representatives in the room, on behalf of employer and employee, but rather through a legislative bill, which seems to be negotiated by a number of different constituent groups, none of which is a representative of the players in any meaningful sense, and absolutely none of which have been chosen and selected by the players as a union representative.

This feels like the way teen celebrities get sexualized and they have a whole "wait until they turn 18" aura around them. The FBI just priming the pumps but never quite letting them show nipple until they hit 18. Like the FBI was the manager of a teen sex icon.

The head of the Fraud Task Force unaware of corruption inside the Trump administration, despite it being widely covered in the media. All by design: The Public Integrity unit in DOJ was gutted and has been told to focus on welfare fraud in blue states. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...

The unit is hiring again to focus on “how politicians and state officials facilitate the misuse of taxpayer dollars.” That sounds good — until you realize what this actually means is they plan to go after blue state officials for allegations of welfare fraud. Trump’s circle will remain safe. After all, his former defense lawyer runs the DOJ now.

My work. Judge Walowski is seeking retention following a wave of reversals by the appellate court. In one case, the court reversed a conviction because Walowski forced a defense attorney to proceed to trial as he recovered from a bout with food poisoning bad enough to call for hospitalization.

I notice that everything the press doesn’t like is “social contagion” now, except for the escalating crankery of the press, which is an organisation of a couple of thousand people mostly concentrated in one city, who largely all know each other - one thing that definitely *is* social contagion.
