🐅 TIGERS ROAR! Let's go!

David Peck @davidpeck.bsky.social · 3d

I did not want to see the Tigers go to extras, but I am happy not to see the zombie runner (Manfred man?) on second base.

I really wish Detroit wasn't playing Seattle right now. My lifelong Tigers fandom is running up hard against my interest in seeing the Mariners finally reach the World Series.

I really enjoyed the discussion. I love Ben’s mindset. As Portland’s response to the National Guard stuff is showing, satire and laughing at them may be one of the best weapons we have.

This was an incredible and hopeful discussion. Give it a listen.

It’s amazing how when a guy is successful, it was earned through ingenuity and hard work. When a woman is successful, it was somehow gifted to her by, I don’t know, the success fairy or something. That’s not even accounting for the added negation when it’s a black woman.

Let's go Aces! Trailed most of the game but kept pace and dialed up down the stretch. What a game!

Sens. Warren and Murphy as well.

AOC, Jasmine, Pete, Pritzker, Talarico, and Tim Walz are the voices that give me hope. I think Mamdani will become a bigger voice if he wins in NYC as well.

My guess is she lost the players a long time ago, but the fact that it is spilling out into public spearheaded by one of the WNBA’s most high profile players and leaders, does not bode well for Englebert’s future with the league. From @alexaphilippou.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Players across the WNBA supported Napheesa Collier after she ripped WNBA leadership in her exit interview Tuesday.

Military? Thank you for your service.
Join the workforce? Anyone would be lucky to have you.
Whatever you choose, may you find joy and fulfillment...and at least enough cash to cover your rent and basic needs.

David Peck @davidpeck.bsky.social · Jun 16

Every post high school path is valid and worthy.
Gap year? How exciting!
Community college? Great choice.
4-year school? Awesome!
Trade school? You go, girl!
Vocational program? Get where you want to go.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · Jun 12

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.

If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

““What would Jesus do?”
kind of assumes Jesus stayed in the tomb.

A better – admittedly less catchy – question is “What IS Jesus DOING and how am I invited to participate?””

Used to dislike Geno (for the very valid reason that UConn won too much) and then @sarahspain.com had him in her podcast and turns out he’s a solid, quality dude. Dammit, I want my ignorant dislike back. (With you on Mulkey)

Happy for Paige Bueckers and UConn, but I did not expect that much of a beatdown. Would have liked a closer game. Huskies peaked at the right time and looked a level above everyone else.

i think booker would agree with me when i say the takeaway here isn’t “dems are finally stepping up! we’re saved!” it’s that big things are possible when we, the people, unite and demand action.

Joe Katz @joekatz45.bsky.social · Apr 1

Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:

-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot

That's a genuinely good start.

GOOD. And: it’s taken longer than I thought it would to get to this point. But this legal conflict is a step closer to open conflict. To be clear, that’s the result of Texas fascism, not NY rule of law.

Breaking News: A New York state court blocked Texas from filing a summons against a New York doctor for prescribing and sending abortion pills to a Texas woman.
