LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

On his first day in office, Donald Trump pardoned 169 people who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6.

Guess investing in baristas IS important... if only SOMEONE had ideas that could, say, be put into a union contract......... oh wait

Just deranged. This was a *solved* problem.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

Headline of the day.

Only way to do it if you love your kid.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

holy shit -- Jay was spitting facts on Fox News

A well-oiled machine 🫠

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Thank you Greyhound!

Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Pablo does the best stories on the history and culture around the sport in North America, period

So we just released this book — God’s Stories As Told By God’s Children. I had the honor of doing the Sermon on the Mount… here’s a little glimpse. You can get it everywhere good books are sold!

New from me @sfjournal.bsky.social. I find the link between Christian nationalism & authoritarianism extends to the home. Specifically, Christian nationalism predicts adults prioritizing kids' obedience over independent thought & hard spanking as the way to keep kids in line. doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Trump would sneer at this as woke and DEI and smash it if he could.

If you kidnap and disappear a 4-year-old with stage 4 cancer, you should at a minimum spend the rest of your life behind bars. If you do it as part of an ethnic cleansing program, you should do your hard time at the Hague.

the weirdos who insisted children were being abused in the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement sure are quiet in the face of actual trafficking

The pro life party is summarily sentencing toddlers to exile

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

if coogler looked like damien chazelle no one would question the studio deal given his record of hits. fruitvale station: $17 million on a budget of $900K creed: $173 million on a budget of $35 mil black panther: $1.35 BILLION on a budget of $200 mil bp2 2: $859 million on a budget of $250 mil

Wasn't familiar with this study. Thank you Redditor friend for teaching me.

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant). She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

Absolutely brutal.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

This

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

We have two Supreme Court Justices—Thomas & Alito—who have come out of the closet about their contempt for the Constitution.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

I finally found my tweet from the last time this ridiculous bullshit popped up.🤣

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case: This is the *value* of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.
