I coached a grade school track team where the kids were mostly Black, competing in a mostly white league. The other teams’ white parents were livid that my kids were beating theirs. They accused us of cheating and worse. I have no doubt they would’ve called the cops if they thought of it.

A Florida family says police escorted them from a youth soccer field after parents complained that their 3-year-old son, Nevada, was dominating games against older children. His parents say he scored multiple goals despite being repeatedly substituted.

MAGA has gone from “Release the Epstein Files!” to assaulting a woman wearing a shirt demanding the release of the Epstein Files really quick.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Trump cultists assaulted a woman wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt at Trump’s Ohio rally. Epstein files contain over 38,000 references to Trump and related terms across 5,300 files. Trump was Epstein's best friend for nearly 15 years at the peak of his crime network.

We weren’t overreacting then and we aren’t overreacting now.

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

Hillary Clinton: "Xi is thinking, 'They they can't defend anybody anymore bc they don't have capacity. Maybe we can coerce Taiwan into giving up bc there's not going to be support.' If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"

No punishment is too severe for this revolting lie.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

To my PA and Philadelphia friends: you may have seen how Trump commuted the prison term of John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty, the union boss who was serving 6 years on bribery and embezzling convictions. You may wonder what’s in it for Trump.

Expanding the Supreme Court is the first priority in 2029.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

The legacy media in the United States is corrupt and complicit.

Mark T. Sneed@marktsneed.bsky.social

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

I stopped expecting the media to do their jobs (or at least be decent humans) when I realized they WANTED Trump to win, and did everything in their power to make it happen. They will subject themselves and the American public to anything he throws at them for the access.

Dr. Dave@drdave1999.bsky.social

I wasn’t at all surprised by the behavior of the demented madman Americans insisted on making President, but I was horrified and sickened by the extraordinary and indescribable cowardice displayed by Kristen Holmes’ fellow WH correspondents. Every one of them should be jobless.

How I wish we had a candidate like this in Pennsylvania right about now. Traitor Fetterman and Bootlicker McCormick have no interest in asking how they can help us.

Fascinating story about Obama, Clinton & how representation matters. Also as a doctor & as a politician, he asks the same two questions. “What’s wrong & how can I help?” Lets do this Michiganders in November! #Pinks #DoBetter

I present this to anyone who asks me why I no longer consume any corporate media. They wanted this administration, did everything in their power to bring it back, and will continue doing so. There are no exceptions.

Keith Edwards@keithedwards.bsky.social

NBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.

I haven’t been part of the corporate media audience since the night of the debate, where MSNBC journalists called for Joe Biden’s head not two minutes after the debate ended, their hair nearly aflame. Never have I seen them so explicitly and vociferously call for Trump’s removal.

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social

I have a question for those who study the media: Does anyone in corporate owned media wonder if their declining audience and trust is the product of events like we saw last night? Because, as someone who started an independent media outlet, it is definitely part of our growth.

Time to play hardball. Republicans did. Kentucky Republicans changed the Senate succession law to stop a Democratic gov from appointing McConnell’s successor. Beshear says the state Constitution gives him the power to fill statewide vacancies. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #KYSpecialElection 1/2

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
