You're my Congressman. Thanks for traveling to MN. This is the crucial battle right now.

Please pass legislation curbing ICE: 1) take off the facemasks, and require identifying badges / license plates, 2) require warrants for detentions, 3) strict rules forbidding violence towards protesters and detainees - high std for use of violence. **Concurrent jurisdiction so states can prosecute

Does anyone know of any resources or groups who are working on helping the protesters being detained by ICE (supposedly for violations of 18 U.S.C. § 111) or

any groups organizing information about the various ICE violent incidents

or
efforts to force ICE agents to use badge and identifying info?

Trump wanted his own paramilitary group, loyal only to him and violent. LIke the brown shirts for Hitler

Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt Minneapolis schools closed for the week citing safety concerns after an encounter involving armed Border Patrol agents near Roosevelt High School.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

The Lions pressured JJ McCarthy at almost exactly the same rate during the Vikings v Lions Week 9 game that Vikings won.

Shouldn't be too much for a rookie who's played less than half a season to deliver on? Right?

Amazing when you give a young QB a handful of games to get used to speed of NFL. Players say it takes a young QB at least 5 games to get acclimated. McCarthy's pretty much on schedule.

It's better for X to become clearly known for what it is -- Truth Social 2.0.

‪It's not noteworthy at all that he had six touchdowns (passing and rushing) in his first 3 NFL games?

Of the other 2024 drafted QBs,

Jayden Daniels had 5 tds, Drake Maye had 4 tds, Caleb Williams, Michael Penix and Bo Nix, each had only 2 tds

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

you don't weigh at all that he won 2 of those 3 games?

doesn't it count at all that his return was a shot in the arm for his team, and they excelled w him. Doesn't it matter that while he missed a lot of passes, the most imp't plays (incl 3rd down + long on scoring drives, red zone), he made.

He has a lot of improving to do, but as a raw QB prospect, he's showing all the most important traits.

Vikings got 47.6% pressure rate on Goff overall yesterday. Which must have been sweet revenge for them after the 48.9% pressure Darnold saw in Week 18 at Ford Field last year that caused his meltdown, and Lions' demolition of Vikings in that crucial game .. + Vikings' subsequent passing on Darnold.

That's all true. But without the 6 or 7 key throws McCarthy had, they don't win. And some of those throws were very high difficulty passes made in very high stress situations. That's why people are saying it was promising showing.

It was 3 touchdowns, David
2 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD.

He also got them to Lions' 3 yard line but had to settle for FG.

would that your mole hill of indifference allowed you fewer strongly formed opinions

that's great if that's true. if it were indifference, or apathy or "who cares" and "meh".

but almost 6 straight minutes (21:05 to 26:52) of pretty strong J McCarthy critique on your pod today (by Charles and you) wasn't exactly giving that vibe :-).
Just give him a few games to get used to NFL

@natetice.bsky.social - don't make JJ McCarthy not being good the hill you die on (metaphorically speaking). He's 22 years old, he's coming back from a serious injury, and yet he's beat two tough Divisional rivals at 2 of the toughest places to play. He's going to improve -- JJM on his performance:

A thing of beauty

I don't think the Front Office ever doubted him

JJ McCarthy runs it in for a TD, does the Griddy (kinda)

One of things that stood out in McCarthy's draft profile? - 3rd and long conversion rate

JJ McCarthy making things happen on the move, hits Jordan Addison then TD Hockenson for a TD

Throw to Addison where only he could catch it - and without putting him in harm's way.

Yes. Bluesky's sports coverage is astonishingly better than X

Same is true for live political events -- attempt to impose martial law in Korea last December for example had exponentially better coverage on Bluesky. It was shocking.

I left this app and came back for the sports.
