At the Republican convention today they opened with a moment of silence for…. Derek Chauvin. No, seriously. That’s the party we’re up against. We cannot let them win any state races or take control of the House or Senate in November. They had a moment of silence for a convicted murderer. #mnleg
Really. Were you and you’re formal wearing friends in the twin Cities covering the atrocities committed by ICE? No? Then you can shut the fuck up about trauma. Why don’t you try reporting accurately and maybe we’ll think you’re brave. You’re all bootlicking cowards.
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 3mo agoPeople here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.
I have no problem with anything Jokic did tonight… he should do it all again, just like he did tonight, on Monday.

Bernd Buchmasser@berndbuchmasser.bsky.social · 4mo agoEven as a Patriots fan, chances are you have never heard of Max Mulitz. However, he plays a critical role in the team's pre-draft process. Earlier this week, Eliot Wolf highlighted the club's personnel analytics coordinator.
in fairness, they love Supply Side Republican Jesus, who isn't the same guy as Jesus Christ.
wow, geno just said “jesus was with us the whole time”. that's gotta sting for team usa, they love that guy
You hate to drop game 1, but I was proud of the way our guys fought and I still like our chances. - Mark DeRosa postgame
Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny
brought this take up again with someone this afternoon & more than a year later, it still seem to be (unfortunately) holding true. it feels like many people's resting states are either "aggrieved" or "prepared to be aggrieved"
Daniel Gallen@danieljtgallen.bsky.social · last yr.this a very not-fleshed out take so please treat it as such, but in terms of watching people behave on the internet for the past few months, modern fandom does not seem fun at all. no one seems to be enjoying themselves that much at any level.
I clipped together all of the possession where Denver threw two defenders at Ant I thought Ant's decision making was great here, led to a lot of open shots especially down the stretch of the game

There are so many hard lessons we’re going to have to learn again
Jordan@slclunk.com · 5mo agoI think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.
I remember when @smartereveryday.bsky.social started to show he was red pilled and talked about platformed Anti-trans Barnaby Dixion was "brave" for holding an unpopular view. Now a few years later this is what the Government is doing.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Sarah Barsness@sarahbarsness.bsky.social · 5mo agoDispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

6 years ago, Ahmaud Arbery was killed while doing something as simple as going for a run. His life mattered. His memory endures. Today we honor him, hold his family in our hearts, and recommit to the work of building a world where no one has to fear simply existing. Rest in power, Ahmaud. 🕊️
Ehhh. This really overlooks the crucial consideration that All Hockey Sucks, and especially that hockey players mostly suck at all times and places. There never should have been that much good will to fritter away.
