I appreciate the Blue Jays for knocking out the hated Yankees but I think the clear optimal postseason outcome at this point is a Mariners v Brewers World Series, in which the teams would combine for zero championships
a team being guaranteed their first title would be pretty fucking cool

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I’m begging you to call your representative and urge them to vote against the reconciliation bill and its ban on HRT for adults (and minors) on Medicaid.
The changes would also make it so insurance companies and marketplace plans can stop covering gender-affirming care.

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.
Immigration court has always been the one place I could tell people they could feel safe from ICE enforcement... until today.
I have one trusted report of FIFTY ICE officers swarming a CA immigration court. This hasn't hit media yet but advocates have been hearing reports from around the country.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL: Plainclothes ICE agents are inside the Immigration court buildings at 26 Federal, 290 Broadway & 201 Varick St, harassing people for their paperwork & detaining them. ALL OUT TO VARICK STREET DETENTION CENTER NOW 2 PM TILL LATE: meet at the garage on the West Houston Street Side

Dan was a friend for more than 40 years. Devastated at the loss of this beautiful human
This is a sad loss. I interviewed Dan for many stories abt local police issues when I was reporting for community radio (I think he was on the 1st episode of my XRAY show). His knowledge of the topic was truly encyclopedic, unmatched. His newsletter The People’s Police Report dates back to ‘93! RIP
Portland’s toughest police critic, Dan Handelman, dies at 60
The “brave steward of police reform” had nudged mayors from Vera Katz to Keith Wilson.
