Also, there’s the obvious reason:

Here is the mayor of Charlotte, Vi Lyles.

And in the other photo are the mayors of other cities invaded, or threatened to be invaded, by Trump administration ICE and Border Patrol.

Current tax rates are only 37% for all income over $609,351. Many wealthy are able to make deductions to reduce their effective rate down to around 10-15%. US tax revenue is extremely low now.

In 1976, all income over $100,000 was taxed at 70%. US Tax revenue was much higher then, than it is now.

Federal officers are invading Chicago; harassing, attacking, and shooting Chicago citizens with lethal guns, chemical weapons, military vehicles, drones, and physical assaults.

Sinclair owns 50% of Marquee Network.

Time to cancel

Good idea! Thanks for letting me know that Marquee is 50% owned by Sinclair

So, you don’t fact check sources anymore, just writing whatever anyone says as if it’s fact? And no editors?

Biden was not POTUS when Trump was kicked off social media on January 7-9, 2021. And even if he was, he could not, as President, “censor” Trump or kick him off privately-owned websites.

They shot and killed this man.

(and on-scene witnesses say that the reports of an officer being “drug by a car” are not true)

Yes, Bleacher Nation was sold to BetSperts, a corporation that profits by encouraging people’s gambling addictions. This explains why BN’s posts are all automated bots now. And why @bleachernation.bsky.social support places like X, along with law offices, insurance companies, alcohol, & gambling

Here are the mayors of the cities Trump has either threatened, or already sent federalized troops.

It’s very clear what motivates this racist, white supremacist man.

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

There are dozens more!

I love Bike the Drive. We can walk through the park, peacefully listening to the wind, people chatting as they ride by; we can hear waves on the lake, cicadas singing, geese honking…

This should be once each month, or every Sunday morning, all year!

As a 40+ year Cubs fan, I can only say this with genuine sincerity:

Fuck the Cubs.

This team, this ownership, this organization, and it seems also many of the players, can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

I did some research. The current Cubs logo is based on a historical logo from the Chicago Athletic Club, originally designed and used in the 18th century. Here are some reference images from early 20th century. Pretty cool history.
