God this is so depressing given the political response to it

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration.
It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

All of the trouble in Newark last night was worth it to see the Red Wings win at Madison Square Garden tonight.

Shout out to Palace Fried Chicken for being open.
If I have to pay a toll and pay parking to go into New York City to find some food at 10 o clock on Saturday I will curse the city of Newark for the remainder of my days.

The hotel bar is hosting a party so apparently they can’t make me food. Every restaurant around here appears to be a Brazilian restaurant. Every restaurant, including bars, that’s not a Brazilian restaurant apparently closes at 10 o clock on a Saturday night for some reason.

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

in baseball you can’t just “get the ball” to your best player, you have to send up the batter whose turn it is and hope they come through. and sometimes they do! I think that’s rad

Are they allowing Scherzer to pitch with the bases loaded because they're afraid of him, personally?

Don't need to run if you hit the ball out of the park.

I agree with the point made here but find it to be so wild because the “every swing state” thing is completely irrelevant and meaningless. The whole concept of a swing state shifts from election to election and is based on polling and projection, it’s not like they’re a static thing.
It pains me to say it, but I think the 'won every swing state' thing has also played a notable role in convincing people it was a blowout landslide, despite that being obviously a result of a totally arbitrary confluence of factors

Yes we had his back because we all agreed, he spoke for all of us.
After calling 15 innings that ended the Tigers’ season, radio voice Dan Dickerson accidentally let his frustration slip into swearing on a hot mic.
He apologized the next day, and fans largely had his back.
