Professional athletes are so good because it feels super rare to see any of them panic like Kerkering just did.

At least Philadelphia fans will be totally normal about this.

This is one of the rare times in Illinois politics when you could call for the governor to be jailed and be incorrect.

Gregory Pratt @royalpratt.bsky.social · 2d

The President of the United States is calling for the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois to be jailed.

I'm that friend who's too woke, but this isn't a LeBron conversation. It's capitalism. All superstars are boring now. LeBron, Trout, McDavid, Mahomes. Boring.

It extends to actors and musicians too.

Capitalism rewards blandness.

lebron might go down as the least interesting public figure of our lives. i can't tell if he's intentionally uninteresting or if it just comes naturally, but man that guy is boring.

Aaron Judge is still good at baseball. Who knew?

They’re just showing up uninvited to protect the enthusiast fascists.

It's curious that he wasn't the member of the core blasted with the "lazy" narratives. Impossible to know why.

Beyond not believing that ten cars rammed them, no rational person believed that was even spatially possible on a Chicago street. It makes no sense!

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Everything is awful, but I'm so thankful Paul Vallas isn't our mayor right now.

Why don’t they make all the playoffs out of Tigers-Mariners?

Noem agonized over the not-so-warm welcome ICE agents are receiving in Chicago… "Those men and women were telling us that they have to figure out even where they can go sit down for five minutes to have lunch or to use the restroom throughout their shift or their break.”

The Daily Beast @thedailybeast.bsky.social · 5d

Noem said ICE agents are in need of some bathroom and lunch breaks.

I’m not saying ICE tear gassing CPD is funny. But it’s one of the only things that made me crack a smile the past few days.

ICE gassed members of the Chicago Police Department sent to protect them from protesters

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 5d

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

Could you call them up to defend your people against ICE and the cops? There are no rules anymore, get creative and have FUN

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 5d

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.
