In the past, I'd have rooted for an American team over a Canadian one. Not anymore, particularly if the American team is from a state with a fascist governor.

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

A Matter Of Time ….

Ignore the headline; the article is really about Linda McMahon. Or RFK Jr. Or Elon. Or Pam Biondi. Or Kristi Noem. Or Pete Hegseth's groupchat. Or ppl who believe the 2020 election was stolen. Or raising tariffs will lower prices. Or trans kids are taking over sports See?

FRIDAY INSIDER: With the consistent revolving door at the game's most important position, it's fair to ask a simple question: How’d the Steelers get to the point of signing Aaron Rodgers? Read for FREE on @dkpittsburghsports.com: www.dkpittsburghsports.com/team/steeler... #DKPS #Steelers #HereWeGo

Here it is. It has happened. We have the perfect social media post.

WATCH: @katmabu.bsky.social blows Jennings’ mind by saying “everyone deserves health care” Reminder: this is how it is in every other developed nation, where the cruelty of the Republican Party has not killed universal health care on behalf of the insurance companies. #MedicareForAll

So this was the backdrop for a great round of golf with my sons. I still stink at golf, but I see Cherki's Les Bleu debut was a smashing success.

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Most political cartoons are terrible but the Richard Scarry homage works.

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on. But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!

no one should listen to anyone who doesn't wash their hands after they go to the bathroom imo

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I'm not dealing with jackass Liverpool fans here. I don't anywhere else either.

Off to a great start with Reijnders in and Ait-Nouri next. I'd like to see Cherki done to force Liverpool to pay ridiculous money for Charmin Wirtz.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

Going to suggest it's not very good for Jews when politicians start declaring who the "real" Jews are and who are not...

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

I think the home plate umpire just ejected Cannon Peebles. Peebles better have said something horrible, because Wake Forest's coach called someone a "f***** f*****" and is still in the dugout.

Experts reviewing RFKJr's magnum opus MAHA health report conclude that the whole document was faked by someone using Chatbot AI, and was probably never even proof read. They're not just fraudsters, they're very lazy, too. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Finally, some mainstream press coverage of how woefully behind the entire SpaceX Starship project is. Rich Guy is talking about a Mars transfer orbit in 2026 and a lunar soft landing in 2027... It's May 30, 2025! They have *zero* space-worthy Starships assembled or crew-rated components. Zero.

How does anyone who lives in Hawaii follow the PL? Here on vacation and I just realized a 7:30am Eastern game is 1:30am here.

Local Conservative Clarifies He’s Only Okay with Wearing Masks to Ruin Lives, Not Save Them: tinyurl.com/3pabcukx

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

Eat shit @jaketapper.bsky.social

Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics…

If you couldn’t read it in Haaretz, you can read it in The Guardian

I know people want to help those suffering in Gaza, but stay away from being a "money receiver". It violates Federal law, and DOJ would definitely prosecute you.

I do not have the mental capacity to deal with this. Will someone hound them about this? Create a whole vertical devoted to taking the controversy? Call them everyday to ask? Or is that just for Black women?

I'm pretty surprised at what a flop Nkunku was at Chelsea, and my gut is to blame the club. It's hard to be good when you're part of a huge squad in a position where the club bought too many players. Dortmund should be in on him over Sancho.
