At this point I just assume anybody criticizing people for Protesting The Wrong Way is an op. You don't see any of these people in the streets.
"In response to criticisms she's heard about the hat being 'performative,' Mashaal, the shop owner, said the thousands of dollars that have gone toward supporting their community speaks for itself."
A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

Well, it was fun being a Seahawks fan but given the pool of people who have the pockets to buy them I imagine I'll be done with them shortly.
NEWS from @bradyhenderson and me: The Seattle Seahawks will go up for sale after Super Bowl LX. They could set a record for an NFL team price: $7-$8 billion, per a rival team exec.

Ooooooooof that's a blow to the rotation depth
@JeffPassan tweeted
Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Evans underwent Tommy John surgery last week and will miss the 2026 season. As a rookie last year, Evans made 15 starts and threw 81.1 innings. While he was a depth starter in the Mariners' excellent rotation, it's nonetheless a painful loss.

this account on Upscrolled literally has the username “@Fascist”, is posting images of trans people without their consent, & harassing us via DMs.

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.
I landed on "slopagandist."

Related, "polarization" as a problem is one of the most destructive ideas US political science has ever helped popularize.
This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked.
The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Yeaaaaaaaaah that ain't the reason Gen-Z and younger folks aren't vibing with Harry Potter anymore.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
