no one can convince me that baseball isn't a sport for the mentally ill (I say as a mentally ill person)

This week chaotic federal immigration sweeps occurred in fields across CA-including Ventura, Kern & Tulare counties. You may have seen videos of agents chasing farm workers thru the field. Workers are terrorized.

Your gift can help us fight back.

Today's newsletter is one of the few places where you'll read about Clayton Kershaw defacing his Pride Day cap with a bible verse widely used by homophobes to discredit the LGBTQ+ community.

Imagine if it was someone doing that to an American flag cap logo. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
Clayton Kershaw sucks It was Pride Night at Dodger Stadium on Friday evening. As is usually the case on Pride Night, the home team wore a rainbow version of their logo on their cap. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw donned the rainbow cap but he made an addition to it: [insert photo of Clayton Kershaw with a Pride cap with a bible verse citation next to it]. That writing is a citation to Genesis 9:12-16, which is a passage in the Bible which is commonly used by homophobic Christians who are part of what they call the "Take Back the Rainbow" movement. They claim that the LGBTQ+ community stole the rainbow symbol from God and they view it as their mission to "rescue" gay people from what they consider to be a sinister movement. Clayton Kershaw has been around long enough and he's a big enough deal to where (a) vanishingly few reporters would ask him about this; and (b) even if they did, he'd have some canned response on which no one would follow up, but he knows goddamn well what he's doing here. Whether or not Kershaw actively adheres to the Take Back the Rainbow movement, he's endorsing it with that bit of Sharpie on his cap. It's in keeping with his past sentiments surrounding Pride Day in which he decided to police those who could or could not take part in it and used the controversy he himself created in order to get the Dodgers to commit to moving up a Christian identity promotion in response. It was shitty behavior then and this is shitty behavior now. As was the case with those Tampa Bay Rays players who, a few years ago, tore the rainbow logos off their caps and jerseys in protest to the team's Pride Night, I expect nothing to happen to Clayton Kershaw for blatantly undermining the team's public-facing messaging and violating selectively-enforced rules about defacing one's uniform with personal messaging. Indeed, it would not shock me if people in and around the game defend Kershaw on a "hey, everyone has a right to freedom of speech" basis. Not that he even needs the defense. He pitched on Saturday night after I and others had pointed out the thing he did with his cap. As far as I can tell, not a single person asked him about it after the game. It was all "Kershaw tosses seven scoreless innings against the Giants!" But ask yourself: what would happen if a player wrote a message of protest next to the American flag-logos or the camouflage logos teams wear on their Fourth of July or Memorial Day and Military Appreciation caps? If you think the response to such a thing would be benign – if you think people would ignore it and merely focus on what the player did on the field – then Colin Kaepernick has a bridge to sell you.

The Dodgers’s silence about ICE in LA — and Dave Roberts’ feigned ignorance about what’s going on — is an absolutely horsehit look for the franchise of Jackie Robinson and Fernando Valenzuela www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...
Commentary: Cowardly Dodgers remain silent as ICE raids terrorize their fans
The Dodgers have declined to release a statement in support of their fans protesting ICE raids that have ripped apart families in Southern California.

Isaac Chotiner interviews hit everyone’s dopamine centers because they are all structured there exact same way as Steamed Hams.

I had to screenshot and preserve this moment from Dodgers Twitter history
Justin Drummond on Twitter: Hey girl, are you Nancy Bea because when Orel Hershiser came to the mound I caught you playing Master of the House on your organ. A reply from Nancy Bea: I am Nancy Bea
