I'm a somebody, probably. Sometimes I work on TV broadcasts for sporting events.

YOUVE BEEN HIT BY YOUVE BEEN STRUCK BY TJ MCCONNELL X2

(Quinn Buckner voice) THEY’RE GETTING MCCONNELLED

Chants and speeches happening now with cars driving by honking @wishtv.com #ICEProtests

A Finals McConnell!!!

Absolute perfect placement of arm/trophy

The Big O is in the house! And I'm not talking about the Pacers non-Siakam points.

Okay, they gotta win for the Big Fuckin' O!!

"Turner has to finish that" He got whacked on the hand! Ridiculous commentary. Obvious uncalled foul.

No kidding, Granville Waiters was 24 in this photo. Sadly, he died at age 60 of COVID-19 in March 2021. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

"likely to draw an uproar from pro-vaccine groups" like the opponents are a tiny special interest group and not "literally all doctors and 95% of parents"

Is Reggie wearing a Mark Jackson jersey??

Elbow to the face by SGA and no review, okay..

It’s unbelievable that a lot of news organisations keep reporting as if Trump is popular. He is not. His administration and his agenda are not.

one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

the "where are all the protests against trump" people became the "these protests against trump are bad optics" people so quickly you may have missed it

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Part of me thinks the national media should highlight incidents like this, but I understand they have a higher duty to journalism’s traditional core value, protecting Waymos

NEW — West coast Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) staff got an email this AM telling them how to deal with ICE protests, including working for home and wearing a disguise. "We will not retreat... this is the land of the free and home of the brave." Full text of email shared w/ me:

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Any chance we can move the production to Ford's Theatre?

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Oklahoma receives about $3 billion more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes. That's nearly $8,000 per Oklahoman--only 9 states have a higher per capita balance of payments. Subsidies from MA, NJ, WA, CA, and a few others are how OK remains a "low tax state."

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Waiting for the big outlets to put two and two together and realize that police whose identities are secret and facilities are secret are secret police.

since i'm apparently already feeling angry and vindictive today it feels like a good time to ask where the "don't call Trump fascist" debate has landed, you know, post-secret police

"Rarely is so much encapsulated in one object, but the robot car brings it all together. Google gets to replace workers, and we have no say. Silicon Valley gets to rearrange our world, and we have no say. The future moves away from our dreams and into a dystopian nightmare, and we have no say."

Okay, but maybe this time the corporations will save us.

The right is shaping public perception of these protests just like it shaped public perception of the BLM protests, because it dominates the information ecosystem. The narratives it has spent years crafting & spreading are shaping how current events are interpreted.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

I love her dearly, was proud to have been a "constituent" for a short while, and know she's more than worthy of the Medal of Freedom or whatever faux-knighthood is on offer. But it's time not only for "young" leadership to step up, party-wide, but also for leaders who aren't gerontocrat-approved.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

She turns 88 years old on Friday. Why are Dem politicians allergic to just, you know, retiring?

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

there’s actually a completely fucking made up line running through the desert and it says you can’t be here, sorry :/

Well, we know who the 10 bus is rooting for.
