Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

USAID Whistleblower Says It Was Even Worse Than People Knew
Political appointees wanted a quiet drawdown, the whistleblower says. DOGE wanted an execution.

Special shoutout to those people in small communities without a lot of political engagement who will stand out in front of their neighbors today in tiny groups and sometimes even all alone, with their NO KINGS signs. You are the bravest and the best of us

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

An 18-month-old baby held in ICE detention was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening respiratory failure. She was then sent back to detention, where she was denied daily medication.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Pregnant women can't access the #COVID vaccine. If they get #COVID and develop a fever, they can't take Tylenol? 🫠. Both COVID infection and untreated maternal fever increase the risk of bad outcomes for both fetus and mother ranging from preterm delivery to death. None of this is pro-life.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The AAA’s can put as much lipstick on a pig as they like, but let’s call today what it is… It’s a major league team playing in a AAA stadium because they’re ran by the worst owner in sports. We’d much Rather Be At The Oakland Coliseum today, but we can’t cause #FJF is a POS.

A much-deserved note of gratitude to the @oaklandroots.bsky.social for delivering an unforgettable Home Opener at the Coliseum.
Dear Oakland Roots Family,

On behalf of the Oakland Ballers, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the unforgettable opening match at the Coliseum. Through the Tailgates, the “LET’S GO OAKLAND” chants, the capacity crowd singing along as Too $hort shared his favorite word, the endless firework show – and yes, even the wave, you returned joy to a sacred place for our sports fan community.

The sellout at the gate and the vibes in the stands are a testament to the hard work and countless hours you all have put in over many years.

Keep showing the world that nobody gets to put Oakland in a box. Keep ushering in a new chapter for pro sports in The Town. Keep creating with the community. Keep building on this momentum. You do your part. We’ll do ours. And together, Oakland will keep showing the world that this fan base is here and that this is still The Town of triumph.

With deepest appreciation,

Paul Freedman and Bryan Carmel

Co-Founders, Oakland Ballers

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.
