The party that subjected Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Michael Byrd, Ruby Freeman, Shaye Moss, Ashley Thomas and countless other public servants to death threats demand that you to stop posting the names of the ICE agents who are snatching innocent people off the street and disappearing them.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

If confirmed, this would represent a version of Charlottesville, but where government officials are the ones driving into protestors

These are one sentence apart. Words, what do they mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

“there is light somewhere.” it may not feel like much light but, it will beat the darkness. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ The official match poster for Vermont Green FC vs Boston Bolts, Pride Night at Virtue field. Saturday, June 7th at 7pm. Designed in Burlington by Tyler Littwin

I full understand how cults work but I still will never not be flabbergasted at the deference this country is giving to absolute loser that is Donald J. Trump.

It’s MATCHDAY in Vermont. 💚 Looking forward to a loud and proud Virtue Field tonight as the Green take on Boston Bolts in League Two action. Let’s get those bleachers rumbling. ALLEZ LES VERTS! 🔊🏟️

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

A surprising amount of home ownership is making a series of trips to Lowe’s in an increasingly bad mood.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

"Sweden's covid strategy worked, if you don't count anyone who died from covid"

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

WOMEN’S EXHIBITION MATCHES SOLD OUT Both matches on June 11 & 14 are fully SOLD OUT. Fans are welcome to watch the match for free on the grassy hill behind the north goal.

vermont loves women's soccer, it's a fact.

If both sides are mad at you it's possible you are doing something right. It's also possible you're doing everything wrong. Two journalists chat: “I've been beaten up by both the left and the right for being too hard on Musk and too soft..." www.cjr.org/laurels-and-... via @bgrueskin.bsky.social

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

One ugly thing about the Trump-Musk feud: It provides a glimpse into the profound emptiness at the core of MAGA. It's all so hollow. Everything is trolling, ego, lies, conspiracy theories, shitposting. Nothing is ever real. On the pod Rick Wilson and I dig into this newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Im probably gonna get in trouble for doing this,but Im gonna do it anyways I keep seeing all y’all stealing my Raising Canes cutouts and taking me to cool places,,, DO IT! Whoever steals me and takes me on the best adventure this summer,, I’m gonna pick one of ya and take ya to Canes with me

It’s like Chelsea vs Man United. It would be so nice if both could lose.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

forcing JD Vance into the middle of this against his will is such an incredible bonus

There is a wonderful irony to the fact that most of us just want to play board games, watch some football (soccer if you must), listen to a well crafted tune and yet we are left to find our daily joy in cheering for the world's richest man and most narcissistic man to nuke each other.

I am deeply concerned that the leopards have started eating each other's faces.

The proper spelling of creemee really makes this.

"Grab a Hoodsie Cup, maple creemee, or Del's Frozen Lemonade. Sit outside for thirty seconds. Did it completely melt?"

waffles-pancakes syndrome

Boardgames are much less efficient than video/computer games. They offer more leisure, too. Every board game designer should have this cartoon within line of sight in their design space.

Just got back from walking the dog and fired up the @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social stream to see two quick goals. Not saying it's me but it's definitely me.

Our Starting XI tonight in New York. 📋

I dug into Trump's budget over the weekend and here are 3 things you might not see in the news that I think are really important to know about.

I want filmmakers to be their own franchises. I don't want SINNERS 2. I want the next Ryan Coogler movie.

Eddie Murray, circa 1983 #Orioles #Baseball

seriously, I know this is a crazy radical idea in these extremely normal times but what if democrats stopped voting for trump nominees

Word on the street is that there’s only one copy of BROOKLYN MOTTO left at the gorgeous The Center For Fiction bookstore on Lafayette Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn. Somebody buy it so they order more!

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
