Wonderful day to remember that this country and all it has to offer are for *everyone*. If you were a true patriot you would celebrate the day that America put its money where its mouth was and guaranteed all Americans the right to exist free. Happy Juneteenth.

Those working for ICE deserve nothing. Want respect and empathy? Earn it. Otherwise, go back to working security at Ross or TJ Maxx. Abolish ICE.

They weren’t lying. Roddy Tellez stole a base tonight.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

I think this is the funniest stat in all of sports

Cal Fucking Raleigh

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

Gdi if I have to agree with Tucker Carlson.

McConnell with the hesitation to draw the foul.

There is always a tweet.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Randy Arozarena because just the 7th player in MLB history with 2+ runs, 2+ stolen bases & 0 official at-bats (3 BB, 1 HBP) in a game. The crazy part? The last player to do it was ALSO a Mariners left fielder … Rickey Henderson on July 30, 2000! 😱 #TheMayerGWS

Please universe. You know what to do.

This entire thread is what teaching feels like.

i’m sorry ma’am i was unfamiliar with your game

Fuck yeah.

Seriously, MSNBC’s David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasn’t happening.

POLO LETS GOOOOO
