Stupid bullies make me want to go even more. Fascists are bound to lose.

Bonus, it is probably ruining Pepe memes for the rightwing trolls.

They are getting bolder. Patriot Front defaced park benches in my historically Black neighborhood park after Kirk’s murder a few weeks ago. We made them know shame when they came back from their little Nazi march to get their car, but it’s depressing as hell how empowered they feel right now.

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."

He did get them to the finals, which counts for something, but he has not covered himself in glory during this final series.

This is according to the NBA and not necessarily true. Anyone who runs a business knows you can make the business look profitable or not on paper with something as simple as changing a depreciation schedule. NBA cries poor when it suits them during a labor negotiation but it doesn’t make it true.

Even when you compare women’s salaries to what men made back-in-the-day before the MNBA was “profitable”, the men were paid far higher amounts than women are today WITHOUT controlling for inflation. WNBA players are getting robbed and it needs to stop.

Page Lee @firbirdnc.bsky.social · 1d

WNBA players are paid a far lower amount by percentage than the men too. According to an article I read, players like A’ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier should be making in the 3 million range to achieve parity with what top MNBA players when you consider how much the league earns.

Why won’t Republicans release the Epstein files?

Column | Congresswoman-in-limbo Adelita Grijalva on the dilemma she faces

Democratic Rep. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago, but House Republicans refuse to swear her into office.

Service people who are forced to serve them are probably spitting in their food. Totally predictable.

Always bring it back to the Epstein Files.

Release the Epstein Files—seat Rep. Grijalda.

That's Trump's weakness and Achilles cankle.

He can't run or hobble away from it.

Republicans know it.

They know they radicalized their base for the past decade.

They know Trump is all up in those files.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

We have a whole new website dedicated to the "burning" question.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

That tracks. WNBA underpays athletes so they need to take a second job, then makes it difficult for them to work overseas in the off season. Voila! Unrivaled filled the gap. Shoulda paid them properly from the get-go and written it off as part of the investment.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.
