LOL, whatever just got dropped in the announcer's booth sounded like a horse swimming through a jump and I couldn't figure out why the noise wasn't meshing with the video. 🤣

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

Then again, as Ava Stearns has been rightly pointing out all morning, use of the voice in equitation is going the way of the dodobird anyhoo. It's a pity.

BITD "Whoa" was used to mean em-effing STOP RIGHT NOW or face the consequences. "Eeeeeasy" meant slow down, take a breath, it's all good. And if you think horses can't tell the difference, I can't help ya!

A thing I hate about the modern hunter-jumper industry is the use of the word "whoa" to tell your horse to slow down. They should be using "easy" so the horse can differentiate between slow down and stop. You can't make it mean both things.

Let's not let anyone get away with pretending ICE is at any disadvantage here. These guys travel in big packs- usually 6+ unmarked vehicles; carrying dozens of war zone ready men, masked and heavily armed. ICE is the predator going after regular people and peaceful protestors.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

In the middle of the night, more than 15 settlers broke into Palestinian homes and threw a party — declaring to police that they won’t leave until Palestinians are forced out.

I SOOOO have all the feels in the world for the kids who go off course. I always had trouble remembering courses, too, and with this much pressure it gets so much worse - you just go blank and lose it.

If your only focus is on removing Trump without addressing the conditions that allowed him to win twice, you're only dooming us to more and worse Trumps in the future. Trump is a symptom of capitalist rot, not the root problem. If there's a hole in your gas tank, your problem isn't having no gas.

I'm so glad I don't show horses any more. I used to import a LOT of my tack & equipment from the UK and Germany. Imagine getting an email that your x-thousand-dollar saddle was "marked for destruction". 🤬🖕

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

1st up: Campbell Ooley. Tough to go 1st. She probably won't go thru to the next round, she had a chip and lost a stirrup, but that belies how INCREDIBLY poised and efficient she was. Beautiful position. Not her day, but I'll look for her in Maclay finals in a couple weeks.

I love when someone cites a report of some org called like “World Humanity Freedom Foundation” in order to make a point about a country and you go to the Wikipedia for the org and it’s like founded by the US State Department and everyone on its board worked for BP or Raytheon
