It's weird that we never talk about how trump is probably bisexual. He says this kind of stuff frequently.

Trump: Big strong, good-looking guys. There were three of them! Almost like twins. They were all big, strong, and good-looking

Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained by ICE in an excellent reminder of how regimes repay the provocateurs that were their biggest cheerleaders.

Sweet so if GA reelects ossoff and elects bottoms then they'll move out of our state!

This is interesting. A brand openly announcing it will only be available in Republican-led states.

This is one of those things that is actually pretty easy to figure out but you have to watch a few games to internalize it: stoppage time is *precisely* what is advertised UNLESS there's an injury or goal celebration in stoppage time. Then it's up to us to do the mental math.

The indeterminacy of extra time is one of my favorite things about soccer.

I don't know it's a slogan that does have some potential. And I think slogans broadly suck. Its potential lies in its combination of being easily understandable but also quite malleable. Americans like the idea that they will one day be billionaires! Disabusing them of that is not the task at hand.

This will probably get me yelled at, because I can see the consensus forming here that "strong floors, no ceiling" is the dumbest of all possible slogans. I would argue that it's actually not that bad, but that it's wrong for this moment (please read 🧵before yelling at me)...

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public www.404media.co/contractor-p...

There is no need to trouble ourselves about the vanes; let us raise the winds.

If we had Democratic Leaders who'd lead base on their core convictions and principals w fierce determination to fight for their constituents and the base against lawlessness instead of plotting their moves based on narrowly tailored researching/polling memos, we'd get something like this.

honestly assaults against officers (a charge which is almost always bullshit, like you kick an officer while they’re tasing you) is a much better metric of officer aggression than it is of aggression towards officers

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

We now know that an “830% increase” is an increase from 10 assaults in 6 months to 93 assaults in 6 months, at a time when DHS has *massively* increased at-large arrests and officers deployed in the community. For comparison, NYPD is averaging 194 assaults on officers per MONTH.
