my memory of the tea party is that shortly after their appearance the republicans would go on to capture all branches of government to this very day so actual positions aside im not sure why people think comparing them to the DSA is a negative

I will simply say that I believe this to be true for the next 20 days or so, and that the "responsible" thing may be completely different in their mind when rosters expand.

"We're not going to put Kade in the bullpen.... He's doing everything we could possibly expect or ask of. We want to build his innings." @mariners.com president of baseball ops Jerry Dipoto on Kade Anderson's path to the big leagues this year. #TridentsUp #SeattleMariners #SeattleSports

I guess my thing with the Dodgers is that I *like* villains and don't think we should break the last serious pro sports union because one team that has real structural advantages is also smarter and trying harder than their peers. I don't like that Bob Nutting is terrible at this! That's my prob!

what people are missing about the whole tarik skubal situation is that no baseball player is any better than any other baseball player. some were for quite a long time, but in 1979 the lord struck down one and all and condemned them to wear only one glove. now they're all wretches in god's sight

The other thing Durkan did was, oh, just...deleting 8 months of texts with top officials during the most chaotic period in our city's modern history and she got off scot free. No charges for destroying public records, no recall. But please tell me more about your little tardy press conference

ask them what they're mad about. that she fired the police chief? that she took too long to hold a press conference because she had to wait for the police chief who was flying back from yet another conference? do you hear how that sounds when you say it out loud

It couldn't be clearer what's happening with local legacy media trashing Mayor Wilson: the reactionary centrist majority is about to melt away & they're trying to bake in a narrative that she has fucked up in some catastrophic--but also indefinable--way, to hamstring the coming progressive majority
