Commentary: Dodgers' celebration of Jackie Robinson Day rings hollow in wake of White House visit
Columnist Dylan Hernández writes the Dodgers can't pretend it isn't hypocritical to visit President Trump a week before hosting Jackie Robinson Day.

Wearing #42 is a privilege. Any ballplayer who voted for Trump in 2024 does not get to claim they didn’t know Trump’s entire worldview is shaped by the kind of racism Jackie fought against. Those players should not get to wear his number.

so many baseball losers who voted for Trump wearing #42 today for Jackie Robinson and talking about how great he was is absolutely nauseating tbh

Jade Adler has worked for wellness influencer Autumn Gandara for years, believing that they're helping people feel healthier and making the world a better place. But when Autumn launches a new supplement powder without Jade's input and customers report strange side effects, Jade's belief in Autumn and their mission falters. The more she investigates, the stranger things become, pulling her into a dangerous and supernatural conspiracy, where wellness has a price.” A PowerPoint slide that uses a pink and purple esoteric background.

It’s hard being a LA Dodgers fan but also a Sacramento Kings fan who hates the Lakers. I can’t fully enjoy the LA sports culture in its entirety

For those who get hit by this – if you do have rights to the music that got flagged, you do have some recourse. I've written up a guide on what you can do here:

www.tumblr.com/luxradium/77...

(I have a lot of experience on this from public domain songs getting flagged for Metropolis.)
PSA for podcast and audio drama creators:
If you publish a new episode of your show and it never shows up on Spotify, *do not panic*. If you're using any kind of background music, it might've gotten flagged by their copyrighted content scan…

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.
