Sorry this dude does actual investigative journalism and most media outlets have effectively given up! That sucks, I wish it wasn't true!!

If you actually watch Torre's show regularly, as I do, you'd know the backlash was *so stupid*. It's pretty obvious that the Clippers evaded cap restrictions -- the question is why they did it so weirdly, and sloppily.

that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.
5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I value NPR and especially @wuwmradio.bsky.social but anyone who broadcasts Freakonomics (which is based on an awful, unscientific book series) has a flimsy grasp on journalistic ethics.

Earlier today, the host of On Point played a clip of some Fox News dumbass making fun of DSA's "platform," presenting its mere existence as a danger to Dems' electoral chances, and when Sen. Chris Murphy pointed out that she was doing the same thing as Fox News, she got VERY defensive. So, yah.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

Per last repost, I do think that in the US a lot of people, like a LOT of people, do not realize that if a birth certificate is no longer proof of citizenship then most of us have no proof of citizenship. At all.

Lot of bad rulings today, but realistically this basically drags U.S. youth sports into a perma-AAU setting. Don't want your kid's dick and balls checked by the state because he grew his hair out? Sorry, the cops can just do that now. Ruling will just privatize and make expensive kids playing ball.

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

I'm sorry, but the Democratic establishment doesn't get to say "these are low turnout primaries, they don't mean anything." Ritchie Torres, who unlike Espaillat and Goldman, *trounced* his primary challenger got a *total* of 24k votes. Chevalier got 33k Valdez got 38k Lander got 55k

When these data centers become debt traps in a few years at most, the next Dem president should offer to wipe out those debts if they're sold for a dollar back to cities for community centers, mutual aid hubs, YMCA-style temporary housing services. Try to salvage anything out of this mess.

This is excellent news: ICE must follow Judge Hanlon's decision and release Salah Sarsour immediately. Or it must admit that it is entirely above the law, and unaccountable. #freesalahsarsour Article link: www.tmj4.com/news/local-n... (1/2)

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/

It's clear Wisconsin needs to slow down, evaluate the consequences of hyperscale data centers, and make sure evidence-based, comprehensive regulations are in place. That's why I'm proposing a "Pause to Protect" (last session, AB 1099). Read more here: docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/proposa... (1/2)

It’s June 11th. Salah Sarsour has been detained by ICE since March 30th, not having been found guilty of a crime since he was a child, and is being treated horribly. He’s lost 30 pounds in detention. He is not receiving vital medical and religious accommodations. (1/2)
