I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military
this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy
I don’t think we’ve fully grappled with just how much of U.S. presidential history has been told thanks to scholars accessing records that _literally will not exist_ for this administration, and to a lesser extent Trump v1 and (I strongly suspect) Biden.
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason
All children are born anti-fascist
the important thing i think is that they get comfortable now with living in federal facilities
sadly not the first US president to try to apply the “That’s Not Fair!” Doctrine

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

When I watched a smiling Lionel Messi applauding Trump’s cartoon villain bloodlust, I thought about Muhammad Ali going on international television to deliver his poem condemning the Attica prison massacre, telling the world that fascists would never conquer the human spirit.
Lol yes, please keep suggesting this. Republican candidates will LOVE taking questions about it all summer.

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.
When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”
Video + interview with her and her daughter:
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
the thing about senators is that they're all fucking simps for their colleagues — as soon as one gets nominated they go, "hey, i know that guy! and if it were me up here, i bet he'd vote for me, too!" and that's how you get marco fucking rubio doing war crimes.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.
They’re still lying to us.

This is a county-by-county policy; here in Travis county voters can still vote anywhere. But in adjoining GOP-led Williamson County voters are suddenly stuck in just one precinct, and it's causing problems.
believe it or not it's actually easier to find the best person for a job if you consider every human of every race/gender/identity for jobs than if you limit your search to white conservative dudes
the DEI initiatives these guys got mad about were broadly aimed at making better hires by preventing quality candidates from being overlooked while their "pro-meritocracy" talk involves scraping the bottom of the barrel searching for anybody semi-qualified with the exact same life story and views

Joe Biden withdrew from 🇦🇫 like everyone said they wanted, & the media decided it was a scandal worthy of destroying a presidency bc it wasn’t immaculately clean.
Donald Trump just launched an unplanned illegal war & assassinated the leader of another country, & they’re fluffing the Shah’s son.
