They murdered top Democrats in their homes 5 days ago and the president and corporate media could not care less.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Continuing our string of "shitty things the Dodgers are doing but which you wouldn't know about if you only read baseball media, which is largely ignoring it": team security told a fan on Saturday that he could not wear a serape scarf into the stadium because, according to them, it was offensive.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This week’s #leshow on YouTube: youtu.be/zkZ7WbjGXX4

Murderers impersonating cops is the natural outflow of actual cops insisting they need not identify themselves nor show their faces. Anyone can yell “police” and you’re just supposed to cower I guess.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

Why are we seeing “political” ads on tv with no looming election? This is the newest slice of hell introduced to society. And why is the right still infatuated with Biden? Is he the best they can do to distract from the current shitshow?

Does the Greek system no longer exist at colleges?

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

We know. They gave you immunity.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

ESPN doesn't mention this because they are a huge part of the problem here, but this is 100% downstream of MLB's (and all the other major sports') full-throated embrace of gambling. It's a cancer that's already ruining lives and it's only going to get worse.
