Hey @letters2aj.bsky.social Just saw your market analysis substack.com/home/post/p-... for the Padres. Would Andrew McCutchen not work? The Pirates are going nowhere, he bats RH, has 1 OAA in OF, couldn't be too expensive could he?

Survivors: we fight and win together. You are never forgotten. ✊✊✊

Shout out to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who put it all on the line four and a half years ago and then was hitting the pavement hard since Cuomo got in the race and through today. A portrait in bravery.

Reunion 🔜

Democratic Party needs a DEEP cleanse.

Wouldn’t it be an amazing turn of events if all these monsters and abusers in the Democratic Party, who have been collectively harming us our whole lives, lost big right now in front of our faces???

Next Monday, we will finish the work of the 2025 legislative session. In addition to balancing the budget, DFLers successfully protected nearly all of our 2023 accomplishments, and we will continue to fight for a future where everyone can get ahead – not just billionaires and big corporations.

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

Hero: this man saw a minor punctuation mistake on an otherwise perfectly coherent post and chose to keep scrolling without comment.

TBF some of it comes from Padres fans like me, but at least for tonight I am suspending all anti-LA rhetoric. When the dodgers show up in Petco tomorrow night however....... Anyway, stay strong LA.

White House: "Violent mobs have attacked ICE officers and Federal Law Enforcement Officers." LAPD: "Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful."

This song is an absolute banger and has the perfect video and I don’t think enough people know about it. So: you’re welcome. youtu.be/Uu_kBTbbulQ?...

Welcome to San Diego

Where would the Padres be without Nick Pivetta and Gavin Sheets this year? Preller has his faults but he finds bargains every year.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

You know exactly how this made it into print. You're looking into how you can scapegoat somebody and go back to hoping you can get away with doing it again.

It absolutely disgusts me that both California Democratic senators voted in favor of a law that will force the rest of us, through our bank accounts, to subsidize the monumentally corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" -- They have chosen to join the corruption, and I'll remember that.

The key to so many of these dudes' reactionary politics is that they can never stop believing that the sorting mechanisms of meritocracy put them on top because they deserved it

share the money pigeon for 10,000 years good luck 💸🍀🤞

@anamariecox.bsky.social hey what’s the name of the YouTube channel that does recaps that you’ve talked about on StN?

Expect protesters. Just sayin'. #unseatYoungKim #CA40

Goddammit you’ve got to be kind.

Max has it all figured out.

@letters2aj.bsky.social Just read your latest, great as always. You mentioned that Croney might be back on Saturday. Not today?
