www.bbc.com/sport/footba... “Low block” has become the preemptive excuse for this England team. Did anyone actually watch Mexico’s last game? The farthest thing from a “low block” in the World Cup.

Jonathan Lemire and Russell Berman: “Trump wanted to fix up the Reflecting Pool. What he got instead was an on-the-nose metaphor for the state of his presidency: a no-bid contract to a crony that went over budget, ended in failure, and resulted in the pool being policed by federal troops”

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.
Qatar should be banned from the competition for this “performance”. And their highly paid mercenary coach should donate all his salary for the medical bills for the injured player.
The ADA called the cops on attendees--one of them a former ADA president--for distributing reprints of an article pulblished in the ADA's flagship journal. "Failing to meet the moment" is starting to feel like the understatement of the century when it comes scientific organizations in the US.
Dimitri Drekonja, MD, MS@dimitridrekonja.bsky.social · 2mo agoShame on the American Diabetes Association- ejecting scientists from the meeting for distributing copies of an editorial critical of NIH funding cuts. Kudos to these scientists for standing up for science and resisting censorship 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Now to go check the IDweek code of conduct page…

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.
Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Some other people whom Trump has called "low IQ"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoTrump: "I heard Hakeem Jeffries, a low IQ person. He's a very low IQ."
How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
Jeffries: We are more than willing to get to a place where we pass a national ban on mid-decade redistricting and prohibit partisan gerrymandering. But what we're not going to do is unilaterally disarm.
Next time, if you want to fool anybody other than your idiot supporters, move the clouds.
Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.
The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.
"The people around Donald Trump, particularly JD Vance, have no moral center, they have no core, they are hollow people. If picking a fight with the Pope is what you have to do to remind the boss that you're a 'loyal soldier'...it shows you how craven these people are." - @radiofreetom.bsky.social
"The broad erosion in support is now threatening MAGA's foundation. "A new CBS News/YouGov poll found Trump's approval among white voters without college degrees—the backbone of his movement—has swung from +36 early in his term to underwater at -4, a 40-point collapse."
Axios@axios.com · 4mo agoDonald Trump is torching the coalition that made him president, seemingly unaware of — or simply unconcerned by — the depth of discontent permeating his movement.
"[Trump's] so far detached from reality he doesn't think he's responsible to anybody, even to the people whose support he needs. He's deranged and it's only gonna get worse."
