In Lochiel, Arizona, where people have been resisting the construction of the border wall, one brave activist locked down to construction machinery—and Border Patrol drove it away with them locked to it. "We're taking you to the middle of nowhere where no one can hear you scream."

🚨 Latest from the border wall blockade: tree sit is still up, one land defender is locked down to machinery, Border Patrol has wrapped a Mylar blanket around them and is running the truck and pumping the blanket full of exhaust to try to gas them out, potentially killing them.

Sean Manaea is wearing a "New York Is Love" Mets Pride shirt after pitching six solid innings to beat the Texas Rangers, the MLB's only team without a Pride night. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps not.

We needed a professional women's baseball league to exist because no men's league was gonna celebrate a title by playing What Dreams Are Made Of from The Lizzie McGuire Movie.

Ive watched enough sports to know, when a fan is acting a fool, the broadcast generally ignores it. Yet NBC still decides to show Enes Kanters dumbass, spreading hate and giving him the attention he so desperately craves.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Dodger gonna Dodger. Hope the owners finally deal with this unfair advantage the dodgers have. Having the best farm sytem is unfair! All prospects should be put in a big pool every year for owners to choose from privately amongst themselves.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [GAC cont] TThe Dutch report is esp. remarkable since the country originated pediatric care, it completely dismisses the Cass Review as irrelevant, it rejects the idea of waiting as safe rather than harming kids, and rejects the claim that GAC research is inconclusive.

Not important, but more evidence the US government is completely afraid of the slightest hint of change.

As a former Oakland A's fan, I have tried to make Oracle Park my home, but despite its beauty, the park seems actively hostile to all but it's richest fans. Also, Fuck John Fischer.

Thirty years for this in particular is a tragedy of injustice. Just abhorrently chilling.

Far harsher sentences than the worst J6ers, who are free today: “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.”

to be clear, this fascist shit is happening because the king told a lie about vandalism and they're retroactively arresting people to try to make it seem like it's true

Took this video of a guy getting detained and a citation for putting his hand in the water an hour ago.

Now MLB wants to impose a salary cap, claiming it's good for parity. It's not. It's good for *owners.* Brunson is worth like 3x his salary, at least, and the only reason he had to take less money is because they league arbitrarily decided to limit payroll and penalize teams who spend. 3/5

A Maddux AND 15 K's. Pure domination.

For one night, Jacob Misiorowski (MIL) was the apotheosis of pitching. He struck out fifteen Phillies in a complete game shutout, all while only allowing a single hit and finishing at 95 pitches.
