It was the worst of times, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Darkness, it was the winter of despair

12 postseason complete games in the last 15 seasons. Yamamoto has two of them. In the past twelve days. Schilling in 2001 was the last guy to have postseason CGs this close together.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me
To be fair, the primary is March 17 and that’s probably more important than the general for a Democrat in a semi-crowded field (he’s also got an insane cash on hand lead so I guess might as well spend it?)

March to protest ICE actions

Little Village
Like of ALL the times to be doing “well surely everyone can agree we need border security but” messaging. This is when you should be pushing against the insanity of having extreme border controls at all!
Bernie confirmed washed
Bernie Sanders made some pretty ridiculous comments related to border security and how basically border security is necessary to have a nation. So was the U.S. not a nation prior to the manufactured border security panic? Because people were crossing that southern border fairly freely prior to then.
Reminder that the idea of "border security" is political and a result of moral panic. In 1965, Congress passed amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act that put number limits on immigration and ended longstanding guest worker agreements with Mexico. This helped lead to agencies like ICE. /1

It’s not how they would have put it but certain pundits liked Adams because they think racism is an effective political strategy and as a black man they figured he could get away with it easier. Anyway i’m sure his poll numbers are great, looking forward to his next term bsky.app/profile/josh...
Eric Adams, endorsing Cuomo: "New York can't be Europe, folks ... Those Islamic extremisms that are burning churches in Nigeria, that are destroying communities in Germany, that have taken over the logical thinkings. And that's what I'm fighting for."

"men who clearly have hang-ups about their ability to perform a certain kind of blue collar masculinity" is a society-wide issue. There's a reason pickup truck sales have continued going up (to the degree the F-150 is now America's best selling vehicle) even as blue collar employment has gone down
i mean i don't think you can separate any of this discussion from the fact that so many of the participants are men who clearly have hang-ups about their inability to perform a certain kind of blue collar masculinity

i don't like how many people accepted the 'we got here cause cancel culture went too far' reading on the last decade. that's right wing recruitment rhetoric. there was/is 10x more power in complaining about being criticized than doing the criticism.
I mean set aside the absolute “fall of the Roman Empire” shit of a mysterious troop payment probably from some foreign entity, or the fact that anyone who ever worked in USG has seen 100 videos about how this is the sort of thing that indicates insider threat… it just isn’t much money at all
Also like… $130 million? Based on the troop strength estimate listed on Wikipedia that’s 100 bucks a head
You really see how little they give a fuck anymore when the Beneficent Emergency Troop Donation is barely half the money the president is shaking down the DOJ for
I saw someone else point out recently that the vast majority of tattoo artists won’t do Nazi shit, so you’d really have to be trying to get one. Very hard to do “by mistake” and certainly not something that “the modal” American tattoo-haver is gonna have!
Reposted by Windier E. Megatons
this is, I believe, what they call "telling on yourself" lmao
It doesn't matter lol. The modal american probably has a nazi or nazi-adjacent tattoo or knows someone who does
Reposted by Windier E. Megatons
as a recovering alcoholic I find it offensive that people are saying "well he got the nazi skull while he was drunk" okay and? I got blackout drunk and did stupid shit tons of times and I never woke up with a nazi tattoo

The dismissal of AOC makes me think that they care less about working-class politicians and more about a kind of workerist male aesthetic.
Trying to think of how thin the primary field would have to be for her to draw double digits

“I am not done,” the former vice president said. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones,” she added.

Ezra Klein running articles about how the Democrats have to move to the center while Border Patrol and ICE tear gas my neighborhood, cannot stress enough that every liberal institution is not capable of dealing with what's actually happening

right, even if you buy some explanation that exonerates platner from ever having held nazi beliefs, the way this was handled was so clumsy and poorly thought out that it casts extreme, disqualifying doubt on his ability to run a campaign or succeed in office.
This is a situation where the (non) coverup (until way way too late) is far worse than the initial indiscretion. The judgment and communication skills - or rather extreme lack thereof - displayed in his and his team’s responses are even more obviously disqualifying than the tattoo itself.
It’s so bizarre not to deal with it. Had he told this story about his past and how his views had changed, with the tattoo already removed or covered, I think a lot more people would have given the benefit of the doubt.
Womp womp.
CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

btw there's that NRSC poll floating around that says voters are more likely to support Platner after hearing about his tattoo

here's how the question was phrased lol
Literally EVERY DAY something happens that would at least have led to a month of hearings in any other administration. It is deliberately designed to make us go insane, I think.
it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.
Marlins Man is still out there? Wow.

Hit Dems hard??? You mean hit already struggling people hard???

Horserace orgs like Politico wants SO BAD for the consequences of this shutdown to be about Democrats and partisan political gamesmanship rather than for everyday people.
