In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.
If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

How Dodgers became a hotbed for Japanese talent: respect
www.mlb.com/news/dodgers...
www.mlb.com/news/dodgers...
![My vision -- supported by [Dodgers executives] Bob Daly and Bob Graziano -- was, 'Why should we be dependent only on the free-agent market and the draft? Let's get into every area in the world that's producing baseball, and let's be aggressive about it again. This is the team of Jackie Robinson. It's the team of Hideo Nomo.'"
Thanks to a staff led by Acey Kohrogi, now the director of Pacific Rim Operations for the Padres, the Dodgers put together a team that featured Akasaki covering Japan along with Curtis Jung, who handled Korea, and Vincent Lau, who was responsible for Taiwan and China.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7mjbn64fshkrr6fr5uzeqzrs/bafkreifgs3p7paeoydy5fb5os3ul4r36jmjhvs7vak6qcyppzs744ufzxu@jpeg)
![While the Dodgers may have an edge thanks to their location and financial might, Evans argues that there is a much more human role that goes into it.
"This game is all about relationships," Evans said. "You spend 10 to 14 hours a day at the ballpark for eight and a half, nine months together. The game is a worldwide game. It is certainly not a North American game anymore. It's played in more than 25 nations. The World Baseball Classic is evident. It's not money. It's cultivating and maintaining and nurturing relationships. You can't buy relationships."
"You hear [Yoshinobu] Yamamoto and Shohei [Ohtani] and Roki [Sasaki] talk about one of the reasons they chose the Dodgers is because of its history," Akasaki said. "Obviously the proximity to Japan and the community that we have here helps, but we have a really unique infrastructure. We have Japanese-speaking trainers. We have Japanese-speaking staff in the front office. I'm bilingual. Will Ireton was Kenta Maeda's interpreter -- Kenta Maeda was [with the Dodgers] a long time ago, but he's still on the support staff. You drop a Japanese player in our Dodgers clubhouse and that will be seamless."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7mjbn64fshkrr6fr5uzeqzrs/bafkreiajtdvxanccq6fy5gedvlrjqahdpsl7jrjcd6rqvwtdlfsqcsnkpe@jpeg)

what do we do with a labor situation where arguably the most class conscious and unionized sector are people that had to attend multiple years of post-HS education to do their jobs, but are nonetheless wage laborers?

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
