Dodgers can get 90+ wins playing the entire season on battery saver mode and then just blast through the playoffs. If I weren't a Giants fan I'd be in awe of it.

I know there are many variations of "abolitionist except for" genre of skeet, and I understand that "abolitionist except" is an oxymoron,,,,,,

No one knows how many people ICE has kidnapped, how many have been shipped overseas or how many are still detained. Many have no contact with family or any lawyers, and no one who knows them knows where they are. Many are being held indefinitely in facilities that refuse oversight

the two types of racist are food racist and sex racist. all racists fall into these two categories. hitler? sex racist. mussolini? food racist.

stephen miller? sex racist. jd vance? food racist.

despite being racist about food sometimes, donald trump is a sex racist

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”
