I’m torn on this match tonight. Part of me wants to see Messi go out with one more championship, part of me wants to watch the ultimate underdog in Cape Verde win this one. 0-0 coming up on 30 mins in has to be giving them some hope though. #WorldCup #ARGvCPV

I’ve been coaching youth sports at the HS and club level for nearly 20 years. I’ve done officiating as well, but not nearly as much. Parents are absolutely the worst part about it. Ask most former coaches and refs why they stopped and that’s what it comes down to the majority of the time.

Peak "boy mom" bullshit. You let the coaches and referees handle this shit. And you do not lay a finger on someone else's child. Especially not your white foot on a Black child. 1/ abcnews.com/US/florida-w...

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

This insightful thread made me reflect on how I, a Gen Xer, was socialized to think about the political agency of ordinary citizens...and how those historical "lessons" that I'd imbibed, drawn from the history of the 1960s and 70s, just don't ring so true to today's young adults.

The point at which a sane, morally principled award winning teacher who is angry about school shootings picks up a gun and thinks it’s the only way to make a difference is a bad place to be in. Dismissing him as a crazy person and blaming Dems is disingenuous and dishonest

A long long time ago everything was very densely packed. It was all in there, luckily enough, although we might ponder what there was. Then, suddenly, BANG, all at once, everything was everywhere. Without even meaning to, we had the universe, which is a concept humans made up to mean everything.

I like how Easter is about Jesus but we celebrate it by stuffing unborn chickens with mustard, naming them after Satan, and consuming their flesh

As we’re coming into Easter tomorrow, it’s time for my yearly zombie jeebus PSA.

Pam Bondi Investigated Sex Trafficking In Florida US Attorney General Pam Bondi was Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 when Epstein was raping children. His Victim settlements were often in the Miami News. Why didn’t she investigate and arrest Epstein for Raping Children in Florida?

Surprised no one jumped on this already, or at least not that I’ve seen yet. Needs to happen though. www.michigan.gov/ag/news/pres...

I used to handle risk management/claims for a large rental car company. Yeah, this happens more often than you would think. Both with customers and employees.

NEW: (gift) A Miami Herald Investigation: How Jeffrey Epstein Beat the Justice System by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social and @clurhealy.bsky.social www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

How Jeffrey Epstein sought to infiltrate the justice system

New Epstein files emails show how Epstein tried to cultivate relationships with prosecutors and others involved in his case

Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.

The files contain devastating pleas from a woman who survived Epstein’s network and says she has spent years being gaslit, questioning her own lawyers, describing coercive settlements, deleted records, harassment, media smears, and silence. 🧵

Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

As usual, Elie is right. I don’t have enough middle fingers for the “Pollyanna Democrats” and others he calls out in here that have been trying to brush off how much this election is going to be fucked with. Stop saying he can’t do it or that things as arbitrary as “laws” are going to stop Trump.

ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality. Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar" My latest solution in @thenation.com

This is pure genius. I’d say to make sure Bovino and other ICE/DHS chuds see it, but they’re too stupid to understand it.

This is a great read. I think there are more people that want to do something to stop what’s going on than not, they’re just not exactly sure where to start, or if there are enough others on the same page as them for it to matter.
