Just witnessed a woman in a truck hit a cyclist in the ROW at Delaware & Ohio. The driver proceeded to drive the wrong way down Delaware and scream at the cyclist, and then me for helping.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Some ICE agents, he said, had booked rooms for the night. Others had booked hotel rooms the night before. Some agents, he said, had left, but the tires on their cars had been slashed (which is why they remained parked on the lot’s seventh level hours after checking out of AC Hotel.)

¶¶1-6 of a long WSJ article draw the line directly from Stephen Miller's wails that ICE is not meeting targets to the Home Depot raid to the protests. This whole thing is just really good journalism, and in an outlet reasonable right wingers might trust. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

Lauren Roberts tried to share a statement to the City-County Council last night, but President Vop Osili ordered her removal for not adhering to a two-minute limit. Much to unpack here: mirrorindy.org/vop-osili-la... 🖋️ @peterblanchard.bsky.social 📷 @jennarwatson.bsky.social + Claire Nguyen

In the months before the 2024 election a guy came to my house and asked me to sign a petition to get RFK on the ballot and I laughed in his face and shut the door. Wish I had been meaner. Shoulda literally kicked him off my stoop. Shoulda robbed his ass

Reminder that we had 9 (NINE!) matches throughout the January transfer window. A threadbare squad (Teenagers + Solanke in Summer) already two months into a savage injury crisis, and it took until February 2nd & 3rd to to sign outfield players (Danso and Tel). That's unforgivable.

There’s been a lot written about the reactionary backlash to the 2020 protests but not enough about how much of Trump’s current shtick is driven by that night he got scared and had to hide in the basement.

The pictures don't capture the brutality of Vop shouting down a survivor of his political ally's chief of staff and then ordering the police to drag her out by force. It was shocking.

Car crashes have killed or seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year, but only one of these things is treated as a public safety crisis.

Never forget that Biden said "billions - millions, I meant millions of course, heh" - and our newspapers did front page editorials demanding he drop out Trump spews constant rambling nonsense & our editorial boards are dead silent, because they always wanted him to win (™️ @mtsw.bsky.social)

Maybe the most dangerous aspect of X is that its algorithm - controlled by an avowed fascist - serves as the assignment editor for many mainstream media outlets. It dictates reality for people on the platform and off it.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

After a few days of reflection, I'll start by staying, fair play to the board / Levy for sticking with Ange during the season. I assume they felt his position was untenable, yet they didn't fire him and in return he won the Europa League. Yet, I am still irked by the board's decision, because;

It's incredible how consistently Trump treates everyone around him like complete shit even when it would be in his direct interest to do otherwise.

the thing about this is that these guys don’t actually want blunt talk; blunt talk would be things like “you’re a sexist and a bigot whose contributions to culture have been overwhelmingly negative, and you frequently respond to mild criticism like a child”

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
