As I’ve said in past, my No. 1 concern in sports is how the NFL has screwed up kickoffs. When that gets fixed, then I’ll worry about less impactful issues.

Joe Ryan wondered if a rock-hard pitcher’s mound in Sacramento played a role in Pablo López’s injury: “I don’t think Pablo is the kind of guy that’s going to say it, but I’ll say it.” #MNTwins #Athletics #MLB www.nytimes.com/athletic/640...

i’ve been sent this footage of an MPD officer on east lake st during the federal action on 6/3 turning around and shoving a person who was filming him

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

If you’re betting on a track and field parlay you are so far gone

This last part: “ICE's presence will keep people from reporting crimes, from testifying as witnesses, and from seeking help. Local law enforcement should remember that and be clear and transparent with community about what assistance they are or are not willing to provide to federal agencies."

Turns out, "MPD will not assist ICE" comes with a lot of very specific caveats. MPD will absolutely assist ICE with crowd control. MPD will absolutely assist on raids that include ICE but are, after the fact, declared to not be ICE. Watch what is being promised. Ask for more.

Shot/chaser

What happened at Lake and Bloomington today may well be unrelated to immigration, but it’s a good illustration on why it’s bad to Gestapoize a branch of Federal law enforcement as well as not enforce any sort of non-militarized uniform requirements for all law enforcement.

This is how everyone should speak to politicians saying crazy shit

So this was a fucking lie. But are we surprised? That's the MO of this police department and they're Mayor. Do not rank Frey in November. He's a liar. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

It is very important to remind people, at every opportunity, that Mayor Jacob Frey has sole and exclusive authority over the Minneapolis Police Department. This is Jacob Frey's MPD assisting Donald Trump's feds in a raid on Minneapolis.

Hey @jacob-frey.bsky.social you just made this video about how excited you are to support these businesses, why are MPD officers assisting ICE?? Why are you not down here supporting these constituents of yours? WHERE ARE YOU?

it’s very revealing certain people can only conceive of someone being involved in local politics if they’re being paid to do so. that says a lot more about what motivates you than it does anyone else, that you don’t believe people would get involved if they weren’t being financially compensated

The Chicago Fire announced plans for a privately financed $650 million soccer stadium at the mostly vacant 62-acre site along the Chicago River at Roosevelt Road. “It is my belief that these stadiums should be privately financed," owner Joe Mansueto said. 📝 @robertchannick.bsky.social

Here's a compare/contrast on the Strib headlines when a sitting council member did not receive DFL endorsement 2017 - Lisa Goodman received 55% 2025 - Aisha Chugtai received 52% Below is Goodman in 2017 www.startribune.com/lisa-goodman...

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

Unfortunately there are also real people who are indistinguishable from a troll attempting to sow discord. However, your response to them should be the same as if you heard them muttering in a corner of a bar- ignore them and don't assume their opinion is representative of the rest of the bar!

(Reuters) - Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

The Rockies have matched the Nuggets' win total from May — despite the latter having only played nine games last month 🤯

Whatever your view of Tim Walz, kudos for going into Gavin Newsom’s back yard and zinging him on Newsom throwing trans people under the bus. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u... (No paywall)

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com: Elon Musk “apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad PR for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

“Go somewhere and chew on bark” is the type of insult only a septuagenarian can pull off

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Conference finals losses, Minnesota men’s top-level pro sports, since the last Twins championship 2025 - Wolves (?) 2024 - Wolves 2020 - Loons 2017 - Vikings 2009 - Vikings 2004 - Wolves 2003 - Wild 2002 - Twins 2000 - Vikings 1998 - Vikings … really a team effort here fellas

Trump says he’s pardoned Scott Jenkins, the Virginia sheriff sentenced to 10 years in prison for taking cash bribes from eight people, including two undercover FBI agents.

BTW, happy tweet-iversary! One of the most famous NBA posts of all time was fired off 10 years ago today, and has remained notable this entire time because the fuckery has refused to subside.

Loons: wet sloppy sibling kiss

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Racket's omitting the best part of this article, the subheadline:

The Israeli military is systematically using Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, several former detainees and soldiers tell the AP, though the practice is banned by a national court decision and international law.

i think it is bad that high level public officials do not respect the offices they hold or the public they are supposed to serve

Flex post, flex post, flex post, flex post, flex post, flex post, BOLLARD. #WorldBollardAssociation

I rarely criticize other people's writing but this article not only feels unusually mean and slanted, the fact that it closes on Jay Mariotti bashing the show without noting that Mariotti was kicked off of it for being a loathsome asshole who beats women is an unacceptable omission to me.

Senators coming for my job now.

Just try to process this.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Just remembered the Orioles' owner did a bobblehead giveaway of himself last month. Amazing. bsky.app/profile/did:...

More centrist blob politics from Mn Reformer - lefty DFLers criticizing deal-making DFLers doesn’t means they’re not criticizing Republicans … just that the leverage they have right now is within the DFL; elections come later. It’s ok to fight over real things. minnesotareformer.com/2025/05/16/g...

"Democrats" don't say that. The Constitution says that, and for 150 years, everyone agreed the Constitution says that.
