What if the unidentified masked men with guns don't accept the validity of your papers?

Wednesday is gonna be a rough day:

The Supreme Court will be hearing oral argument in a pair of cases that threaten what little remains of the federal government’s ability to protect voters from racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

“Let’s be anti-anti-racist and not think too much about what that might make us” --John Oliver on Bari Weiss and The Free Press

Brilliant "Last Week Tonight" on how Weiss twists reality to create stories that fit her ideology. What she does is not journalism. And yet she gets to run CBS news.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Congrats on your Spring Training Championship a few years back, though. Surprised you guys haven't hung a banner for that, seeing as an NLDS win appears to be your World Series.

EamusUrsuli @eamusursuli.bsky.social · 1d

You're the #1 seed. Act like you're supposed to win, instead of the little brother with an inferiority complex.

LOL. I understand fine. Tucker hit 5 homers the entire last half of 2025.

He's past his prime, and whoever signs him will regret it. Mark it down.

Nice to see her reclaim her stupid. Was getting worried for a second.

Hopefully this pisses off Ricketts enough to open the wallet and crush these fuckers.

But more likely he'll raise beer and ticket prices again and count his money while claiming continuing 'biblical losses'.

Man, I wish our rich asshole owner was more like Steve Cohen.

This was their World Series. Watch them choke out in the next round.

Little brother energy.

Cade, we've heard that before. In 2003, to be exact.

The one time in modern baseball it actually happened was in 2015. And that team made it to the NLCS and beat a division rival.

Be careful tempting the baseball gods.

It is fucking Wrigley North. Did you see how many Brewers fans sold tickets to Cubs fans?

Pathetic fan base in a second-class suburb of Chicago.

Fuck Mil aukee Forever.

And that's why your shit team from a shit suburb of Chicago hasn't won shit.
