Society grows great when men plant trees who's shade they'll never sit in.

Not R v D, All of us vs Oligarchs - don't get distracted.

This is a pdf of Henry David Thoreau’s essay on civil disobedience. It’s a legendary work that inspired Ghandi and MLK.

It is not enough to criticize unjust laws, we must actively resist. Don’t be silent. Complaining on socials doesn’t count.

When this is over, what part will you have played?

If you cheap out on the coach that’s in charge of a 200M+ team in SB contention over a couple milli, that’s absolutely ridiculous. HCs make around $10M/yr, if he wants 12, fuckin open your check book.

Hell of a way to begin the Policy era.

Let this be a turning point. His victim deserves justice, we deserve peace. This should be the beginning of the end for this type of targeted violence, people deserve to feel safe, there’s no reason some kid should have to come to terms with a federal agent killing his last remaining parent.

Yesterday Trump said he was going to take steps to prevent large corps from buying single family homes and I couldn't agree more with this step. I don't agree with Trump on hardly anything but credit where it's due, this is a really positive thing for people who want to own homes.

Rare win.

This is the only opinion I’m okay with. Get mad, this is not okay, none of it.

Kidnapping leaders
Shooting citizens for no reason
Defending pedophiles
Illegal deployment of the military
Foreign warships without authorization

We should be rioting right now. Not protesting, fucking riots.
I’m an American and I hate all of this evil shit. All of it. Fuck you if you don’t.

When the government begins to violate the laws of the land it governs, it is the responsibility of the people to ensure that justice is carried out. We are many, they are few.

They serve us, using our money, for our benefit. When this is no longer the case, it is our duty to expel the traitors.

This should be the rule not the exception. Some people just hoping to go to college and get healthcare are going to kill some innocent people so our oligarchs can improve the pinball score.

We’re the bad guys in the world right now.
This new war in Venezuela is deeply corrupt.

I will never vote to send someone’s son or daughter to war to make oil executives richer.

We have an administration committing war crimes, covering up for a criminal pedophile trafficking ring, and committing illegal acts of war against a sovereign nation.

We need to go get this guy. There shouldn’t be any more justification needed. Arrest them and stop this.
AG Pam Bondi says Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in SDNY.

Maduro was previously indicted in 2020 on federal charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation conspiracy.

Unclear what Flores is charged with.

“Mr Patel, wanted to make you aware that we have a high profile arrest coming up soon.

“Thank you, I’ll meet you there, when and where?”

“It’s okay sir, we’ll come to you.”
Kash Patel [is focusing] on raising his star profile.

The 45-year-old FBI director—who had no prior experience at the agency before bagging the top job—is said to demand a heads-up for any “noteworthy arrests” so he can be on the scene and get screen time.

Let’s talk about Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez.

He is the first US citizen to be confirmed in ICE detention and despite a court order to release him, they won’t. He’s still locked up with no charges and an order to release him.

But ICE doesn’t arrest citizens.

Fuck ICE. Fuck DJT.

Kids… learn to control your emotions. A few seconds could cost him 8 figures. Legendary bag fumble bc he made one bad decision in a moment of passion.

Learn this lesson and teach it to your kids.
The two-game suspension for Steelers WR DK Metcalf could be costly, if upheld. Based on his contract, the suspension would void not just the rest of his salary for this season but $45M in future guarantees — $25M fully guaranteed in 2026 and $20M guarantee for injury in 2027.

Billionaires are BAD PEOPLE. Let’s forget how they got there, (but you don’t get that rich without exploitation) and focus on the fact that they could literally choose to make sure no kid had to starve, no one died due to preventable illness, etc. but they don’t. They prefer their pinball score.
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Really a frustrating game. See yall next year.
Josh Jacobs fumble costs the Packers at least 3.

McKinney dropped INT costs them 3.

Doubs fumbled onside costs them 7.

In a tie game going to OT.

Just ridiculous.

If you don’t want people to respond to your comments, don’t make them, turning off comments is a bitch move.

Congrats on the win, we know what happens to teams like with poor point differentials and razor tight win margins in the playoffs. Enjoy it while it lasts.
The Bears have 11 wins. I think they are going to win at least 1 more if not 2. One game doesn't make the season. Every win this year has been an asterisk to most people. That's fine. Just going to keep winning.
