The World Cup and Olympics should boycott the U.S. rather than let their events be used as weapons by the fascist Trump. They won't, of course, because of their own corruption. But they must realize this is shaping up to look like the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Trump threatens removal of World Cup games from Boston, Olympics from LA

Blaming Boston street takeovers and LA wildfires, the US president said both global sporting events could be moved for supposed safety reasons

The commodification of higher education and elimination of diversity are ruinous on many levels. Knowledge and exploration are valuable in their own right, and open new ways of thinking. And different perspectives breed innovation.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

The cartels could actually make money by simply becoming ICE agents to get that $50k signon bonus & bunch of free guns and ready access to a whole bunch of ICE agents but who am I to tell anyone how to do their business

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

This dude is more astroturfed than Lucas Oil Stadium.

A brand new wardrobe from the NFL Pro Shop does not give you Indiana cred. All real Hoosiers know the best place to get that swag is on clearance at Meijer the week after the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”
