all hugs and celebrations at the finish linešŸ’•

El Jaguar! I’d say finally a great day to be an EF fan at this Giro, but really every day is a great day to be an @efprocycling.com fan!

ā€œIf you take out the effects of the missed field goal that was then returned 109 yards, you’ll find that Alabama, in fact, won the 2013 Iron Bowlā€

RFK Stadium back in the day was the dive bar of stadiums, a cauldron of pain and drunkeness, not a frill to be had, just mindbending noise and the threat of a seating bank collapse, the new stadium should be designed by the owners and regulars at Dan's Cafe

Covered processing fee but this is a Hater’s Special donation per @hollyanderson.bsky.social instructions. $41.20 is the combined score of the Royal Rivalry all-sports challenge since JMU was forced to share a conference with ODU’s stench again 3 yrs ago fundraise.givesmart.com/e/k-yA-Q?vid...

ā€œPeople who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state on innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.ā€ James Baldwin saying it best.

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

I’m sure the tariffs aren’t helping but in this specific case it might be more because we’re locking tourists up in detention centers

This is high art

the NHL's ability to get in its own way is beyond parody

Hmm I wonder what the long term strategy is behind replacing birth certificates, over which the federal government has no control at all, with passports, over which the Executive Branch has nearly exclusive control, as a foundational document for citizenship and voting.

Imagine thinking this lines up in any way with anything we were taught in Sunday School. These people need Jesus. Like, actual Jesus. Not Supply Side Jesus.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

That last partšŸ‘‡šŸ» Come on media folks, contextualize this beyond their apparent incompetence. It’s a window - that thankfully was made known to us through their incompetence - about the level of their malevolence against us.

Ruegg podium despite getting boxed!

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects. (Published July 2024)

There are so many examples of this that you really have to conclude their very clear intent is to not ever be out of power again.

Never cheer for SDWorx but so cool to see Lach get a win!

The ā€œI’ve never physically hurt anyoneā€ line bothers me so much. USAID cuts are killing kids, DOGE cuts are taking away people’s jobs/health insurance, but bc he’s never punched a guy he thinks he’s OK. Sickening when politicans/elites think they’re morally separated from the death & pain they cause

You may not recognize it at first, but life in this country will never be the same if people stop coming from abroad because they are not guaranteed protection under the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

There's this lizard brain desire liberals have to try and reason with this argument but at some point you just have to point out that your ideological opponents are just talking crazy all the time and full of shit.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
