The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

That game was so long we ordered pizza a second time. This was in Brooklyn. It was 1:45am

Ok that game lasted 7 hours and 20 minutes. (WS game 3 2018).

This game is only 4 hours and 42 minutes old.

The power of the pitch clock!

Can tell that Kristi Noem runs this agency.

Anyway, doxx them all, hold every one of them personally liable. Bankrupt them. I want to see ICE agents from 2025-2029 forced to relocate to avoid absolute financial ruin.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

ICE continues its relentless assault on Chicago street vendors. Rapid response teams in Pilsen and Little Village confirmed a street vendor was taken on Cermak and Troy and also on Damen and Cermak. These are on two major Latine commercial corridors.

Confirmed sighting in little village

Today October 10, 2025 at 10:55am we were able to confirm that ICE kidnapped a street vendor on Cermak and Troy in front of the laundry mat. Another street vendor was taken on Damen and Cermak in Pilsen. If you have any more information please call 855-435-7693 or to report any unusual or suspicious activity. Our community is safest when we are informed and organized.

When the government reopens and doesn’t work for shit because of mass layoffs they will blame the people who run the government, not Democrats.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

Lindsay Halligan shouldn’t have a law license when this is done and should also be made personally liable for damages for the prosecutions she approved. Letting people sue these motherfuckers into oblivion is going to be the only way.

Good luck ever finding work again to the prosecutors who try this bullshit case.

There's nothing at all wrong with being Palestinian, and using "Palestinian" in this way is deeply racist against Palestinians, but it is also antisemitic, because it defines Jewishness as something that can be granted and removed for political reasons.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Something that GLS does that no other delivery company does but totally could: tell you how many stops away your delivery is, and update the time accordingly.

More and more CA wineries use GLS and it’s always better than UPS or FedEx.
