Boycott the World Cup. No one should buy a single ticket, or play a single fucking game in the United States.

I called them yesterday and told them we were thinking about dropping $45k on a new car with them (not actually true), but then we read their post and now will never give them our business. Worth the call.
A VP for a Chicago based auto group is of course on Twitter, celebrating the execution of Alex Pretti.
Also a major sponsor of Cubs games on Marquee Network

Damn this is one helluva front page - speaking truth to power, no equivocating, just telling it like it is. If NYT, et al., are looking for guidance on how to properly cover our era, this is it. Kudos to everyone at MST!

7 Democrats just voted with Republicans to fund ICE—and 5 of them are New Democrats led by Brad Schneider. “Moderates” are doing what they do best: caving to the GOP.

I am joining Minnesotans across our state in a moment of silence at 10:00 AM today to honor the memory of Renee Nicole Good. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and all who knew her.

What's your actual plan, you feckless, pathetic coward?
Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility.
There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified.
This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

Prosecute and jail is now the bare minimum.

"Abolish" ICE is no longer enough. Prosecute and jail is the bare minimum now.

At this point, we are well past "abolish" ICE. These thugs must be prosecuted and jailed.
I know it's not mainstream conventional wisdom but I think "Abolish ICE" is a perfectly reasonable response to this and you can get the public to buy in. Most people don't want masked murderous thugs roving their streets
MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

This is it. And it also explains why polls just don’t matter to this guy. His total focus from here to the end (whatever that may be) is to amass as much wealth as he can.

1977. Star Wars. The iconic crawl begins with “Episode IV,” and in a panic, I quickly turn to my dad seated next to me and whisper, “We missed the first three?”
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Durbin right there on the same list as Fetterman. Man, I'm old enough to remember when @durbin.senate.gov was an actual leader, doing the hard work. Now he's shown his true colors: just another old white dude about to retire with a big "Good fucking luck" to his constituents.
The fact these 8 went above Schumer means this Dem leader has no leadership any more.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Please put an end to this @govpritzker.illinois.gov. You’ve been a fighter for us so far - don’t stop now.
literally no need for this
the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.
I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Hold up -- so what if he DID refuse to stand for the actual national anthem? That's the most American thing ever, to be able to express one's self freely. I haven't stood for the anthem in years.
I’m sure that he stays seated for many songs. I bet he knows that sappy song isn’t our anthem.
