@clueheywood.bsky.social - this ever one of your haunts in the DC years? It’s not Irish Times, but a definite DC institution.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

Glad BlueSky did this. When I saw Patton Oswalt saying Megyn Kelly should be fed into a woodchipper feet first for defending raping children based on what age she thinks is okay, I thought, "yes, comedian Patton Oswalt is going to, in real life, feed Megyn Kelly into a woodchipper feet first."
patton oswalt has been suspended from bluesky for saying that megyn kelly should be fed to a woodchipper for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

I have seen a bunch of aurora pics from NE OH last night, and I just wanna know where the Sam Hell were the auroras when I was growing up there?!

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.

There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

Western Michigan has some seriously ugly uniforms.

And I say that as a Browns fan.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'.

Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy.

It's been 33 years since my first general election. I've only ever missed one, and I was beside myself with joy to fill in my bubble for Mamdani today!

The worst part?

This means @darthbluesky.bsky.social is gonna hibernate soon, and this place will be a little less fun for a few months.

That was the best World Series I have watched - right up until the end.

100 days until pitchers and catchers report.

This is the type of World Series that creates a new batch of baseball fans

This is everything I love about sports culture - that shared experience is EVERYTHING! ❤️
There used to be like three tv channels, everyone watched things at the same time the highest ever watched show is like MASH finale cause what else was there

But now, everyone warching the same thing is rare. Real unifying common cultural touch points are few.

Sports can do that. Enjoy the magic

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.
Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”

According to Napoleonic Code, I think the Sickos Committee is now in charge of LSU.
LSU does not have a full-time president, athletic director or head football coach, and the governor is sticking himself into the whole process.

It simply does not get more dysfunctional than this. www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

The move comes just days after the program fired head football coach Brian Kelly.
