a decade ago there was an entire movement dedicated to confronting the militarization of state power against its citizens Not only did you not listen... our political actors increased police budgets across the entire country Now military forces are killing White moms and nurses

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

Starting an NPR show called 3 Things Considered. We consider precisely three things a day. If any troublemaking jerk guests even try to bring up a fourth thing I put them in the sleeper hold and take them DOWN. You’d listen to this.

We’re not crying, you’re crying Guillermo Ochoa staying behind the final training session at the Azteca to hang up six pairs of gloves Each glove represents a World Cup he has played at for Mexico 🇲🇽 A legend.

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

Bruno is gonna be kicking himself over that missed penalty, but honestly he shouldn't. He should kick more practice PKs and cut that stutter stepping bullshit

I hate that any goodwill this US team has built with it's good play is gone because of the intervention. If we win it'll always have an asterisk on it. Now everyone wants us to lose over something the team had no control over. Most baller thing Poch can do is bench Balogun and win.

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.

Odegaard going way too deep to be any type of effective. I don't know enough about this Norwegian team, is he their only good progressive option?

Had a dream that Sega relaunched the Dreamcast with absolutely no changes whatsoever, no upgrades to the Ethernet port, no wireless controllers, just the same hardware tech and game library back on shelves, and it outsold the PS6 and Xbox on the merit of physical media alone.

Really interesting how people are talking about Spurs spending money. The same fans that would shit on us for being in the bargain bin are doing the same for us spending on quality players. Spurs really does crazy things to people
