"Antifa" is merely a term for anti-fascist, shortened. It's not an organized group. It's what any of our WWII "greatest generation" would proudly have called themselves as they fought Hitler and other strongmen in the name of democracy and freedom. So it couldn't be any clearer where Trump stands.

Patrick deHahn @pdehello.bsky.social · 23d

"Antifa is not a structured group, but rather, a more nebulous social movement. And while it is illegal to provide 'material support' to groups designated by the government as foreign terrorist organizations, there is not an analogous law for domestic groups.

Watched the Sportsnet recap of yesterday's Habs-Wings game. They become so unapologetically deflated when the Habs score. Just unprofessional all around.

I post this here now because it pains me to know there are many out there who have sadly never heard this song, nor even alas, of it. Rejoice!

No argument, bud. This top-notch Habs d-corps surely can adapt accordingly to the two goalies' respective styles. It's a beautiful facet of what makes it a team sport like few other.

He's very good, but not classic and less in control of the puck post-save than the truly elite. Jonaš has that edge, but less experience. All good though.

It was. It remains. There are occasional send-ups, Weird-Al style (this one copied to my own blog).

It smells like when they went after Gomez, but much less deserved.

Good. No news outlet should trade the right to do real journalism for the right to get lied to at Pentagon press conferences.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Which is it? The circumcisions or the Tylenol? He seems to be confused by his own unscientific gobbledy-goop. The worm may still be in that brain of his, no doubt eating well.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1d

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

That was also shared by Herron - in '82, with Wamsley.

Scott in Montreal🇨🇦 @scottinmontreal.ca · 1d

Yes, he didn't hurt the team and he played his part fine. Because he's a serious scoring threat the opposition must pay him attention, which opens space for the others. No worries, he'll get his opportunities. 80 games still to play. Let's just enjoy the win for now, eh?

Hope they share the net all season (and a Vezina, à la Denis Herron, Laroque and Sévigny in 1981).
