There should be a Sandlot movie about this gang of multi-racial kids running through the streets of Pasadena, with one of them ending up in Japanese internment camp (while the neighborhood took care of his family home), and one of them ending up being Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson grew up in a diverse Pasadena neighborhood, & when one of those neighbors, his baseball teammate Shig Takayama, was incarcerated at Manzanar with his family, the Robinsons helped take care of their home. For my new column, a story of the worst & best of America through baseball. 🗃️

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: The US used roughly two years’ worth of Patriot missile production early in the Iran war. The US produces about 60 to 65 Patriot missiles per month, highlighting limits in supply and the strain on stockpiles.

Yes 👍 Let’s have a constitutional convention to make a new amendment ridding ourselves of the electoral college once and for all

Charles Keener@charleskeener.bsky.social

Abolish the electoral college so that candidates win by the actual votes of the people and not random nameless delegates.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

David Roberts@volts.wtf

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Rogan appeared to blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, “You think that’s a coincidence Netanyahu keeps visiting the White House, and then eventually they decide to give in and start bombing?”

Hayam El Gamal and her five children are set to return home after being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison for nearly a year. The judge’s order for release came earlier today. I have witnessed first-hand families being released within an hour. ICE should release the family immediately.

Ghislaine Maxwell abused young women & girls alongside Epstein for years. As young as 14. In multiple states. Convicted in a federal court. She belongs behind bars. I’m beyond disgusted that any of our colleagues would suggest a pardon. The real question is why has no one else been convicted?

politico.comOversight members split over whether to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, committee chair saysThe only convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein has said she would testify to Congress if granted clemency — a power held solely by the president.
