Dear Legal BlueSky: It will be my mission, in part, to convert you into becoming a fan of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

If you are #Spurscurious, welcome!

If not, also welcome, but may I suggest muting the following words: Spurs, Tottenham, COYS, Ange, and Sonny.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Quite an achievement here, Kid Rock. Hard to sound more dim than this.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

Honestly, when the financial press starts printing diagrams like this, isn't it time for a regulator to step in?

The NYT could just save a lot of time by putting a big shrug emoji on its website with the caption: Who are we to say what’s really going on?

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 19h

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

NEW: PM Mark Carney praised Jesse Marsch’s tactics and the #CanMNT’s depth last night in Montreal.

He called Canada “a very different football team,” and Marsch —an American, praised his visit.

Carney is a massive soccer fan.

I bike to work and to pick up groceries, chief. Toronto has messed up both its mass transit and its traffic planning. Cyclists are poorly protected. Montreal, and even Vancouver, got it right. Happy to help advocate when I get there.

Like, I get it, but you can’t cry that Ange didn’t get enough time and then demand Frank be fired after two months. That’s little baby shit
