FYI, picked Celtics over Thunder in 6. So far, not bad.

I’ve probably said this before, but Kemba deserves a ton of praise for his time with the Celtics. The injury prevented him from being the player he was supposed to be, but his selflessness in helping JB and JT thrive was very important in their development. And the team needed his personality.

This, not an op ed or a protest or a social media post supporting Palestinians, is antisemitic violence.

Again: it is supposed to be commonly accepted non partisan morality that “id rather let a hundred guilty men go free than imprison one who was innocent” but this administration and its party are gleefully inverting that premise and then some

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

There’s bipartisan support for ICE & the post-9/11 security state that created it. Once the government gains power, it doesn’t let go. That’s why today’s abuses—deportations for political speech, anti-BDS laws, attacks on immigrant rights—must be challenged now. Power unchallenged becomes permanent.

Apple CEO Tim Cook donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration. Looks like he’s getting a big return on his investment.

Yep. Trump just exempted smartphones & computers from the tariffs, which (1) shows the absence of any real planning (2) is contrary to what he and his admin said is the point of these tariffs and (3) does not fix the numerous other problems. There are so many vital widgets US businesses get abroad.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Nothing captures the pathologies of mainstream media quite so clearly as the intimate relationship between the New York Times and far-right activist Christopher Rufo - who relies on the NYT to launder his disingenuous crusades, has said so himself publicly, and yet they keep obliging. Great thread:

Imagine making this your first bill. My God. The more Democrats play Republican Lite, the more Democratic voters will just not vote. We need a true opposition party with the spine to run on principles, not a corporate funded party who remixes MAGA stupidity to make it sound patriotic.
