I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Every day it breaks my heart to know that this level of misery is being inflicted on people, and that it's being done with American tax dollars that could be providing care for sick instead of slaughtering them.

I will say it again. I know way too many moms who had a child gunned down on a city street. But their child’s murder didn’t elicit a massive police or media response. I know way too many moms whose children’s homicides remain unsolved. Who don’t get calls back from the police. Then they see this.
