Thanks to Eren Chen of booster for having me.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

As always, we will be here to watch Trump’s speech so you don’t have to.

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime
Breaks even at 40 weeks of folding for an hour. Not too bad.
Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.
THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE
😻 For a couple hours yesterday, I enjoyed the music, the message, and the game; the chaos of authoritarian USA receded a bit. It was bliss. 🩵

Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would. It wasn’t a story book ending or a fairy tail, it was just life. I dared to dream and had worked so hard to achieve it. Because in Downhill ski racing the difference between a strategic line and a catastrophic injury can be as small as 5 inches. I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever. Unfortunately, I sustained a complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly.
While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets. Standing in the starting gate yesterday was an incredible feeling that I will never forget. Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself. I also knew that racing was a risk. It always was and always will be an incredibly dangerous sport. And similar to ski racing, we take risks in life. We dream. We love. We jump. And sometimes we fall. Sometimes our hearts are broken. Sometimes we don’t achieve the dreams we know we could have. But that is the also the beauty of life; we can try. I tried. I dreamt. I jumped.
I hope if you take away anything from my journey it’s that you all have the courage to dare greatly. Life is too short not to take chances on yourself. Because the only failure in life is not trying. I believe in you, just as you believed in me. ❤️LV

Lindsay Vonn gives her first statement since her devastating crash in the Olympic downhill
Bad Bunny made the message clear.
The rest of the world made their message clear:
We can move on without Donald Trump.
We can move on without MAGA.
MAGA is not America.
MAGA and America are not the world.
Let their ideas rot in the last millennium.

You don’t need to be an activist to organize against the regime. There’s a role for everyone to play in the pro-democracy movement.
