The LA Dodgers told singer Vanessa Hernández-Nezza she couldn't perform the national anthem in Spanish – a version FDR commissioned. She nodded, took the mic, and did it anyway to a standing ovation. People are mad the Dodgers have refused to make a statement re the raids. apnews.com/article/dodg...

When the Dodgers visited the Trump White House in April, I wrote about how the Dodgers ownership group has more in common with Trump than the working class that makes up this city. Their silence in the face of the ICE terror that our city is experiencing further proves my point. ⬇️

TIL the National Anthem has had a Spanish language version since 1945, commissioned by the White House. This is the most perfect thing for the Dodgers. Maybe front office didn't want it, but you know Jackie Robinson, Fernando Valenzuela, and Vin Scully are cheering her from heaven.

The reason Trump left the G7 meeting is he's not important at this table. The rest is gaslight.

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

Let God be clear. The people who want war in the Middle East to bring about the “End Times” are MONSTERS.

Thoughts and prayers.

Hide your kids! Hide your couch! JD Vance is on Bluesky!

Had jury duty this week. The defendant had committed five armed robberies WITH A MACHINE GUN. When asked what I think about firearms, I said: "I think the Second Amendment is one of the stupidest things America ever did, other than the way activist judge Antonin Scalia willfully misinterpreted it."

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

Imagine being a supreme court judge and you’re just completely ruining millions of normal people’s lives everyday in exchange for like money to bet on baseball games and a new civil war saber to add to your collection of civil war sabers.
